| Abstract | The Khokhlov - Zabolotskaya - Kuznetsov (KZK) equation is a parabolic approximation to the Westervelt equation that models the effects of diffraction, attenuation and nonlinearity. The original form of the attenuation term in the KZK model yields frequency squared attenuation. However, for soft tissues, the attenuation follows a power law with respect to frequency with a power law exponent between 1 and 1.5. A KZK model that incorporates the effects of frequency-squared attenuation is presently included in FOCUS, the `Fast Object-oriented C++ Ultrasound Simulator', and a nonlinear KZK simulation that accounts for power law attenuation is also needed. When the KZK equation is combined with the power law wave equation [4], a continuous wave KZK model with power law attenuation is obtained. Simulation results are evaluated in both linear lossy media and nonlinear lossy media. Simulations in the linear lossy medium are evaluated with the KZK approach and compared to results obtained with the fast nearfield method in FOCUS. The results match well in the paraxial region but differ elsewhere. The effects of nonlinearity are then included in CW KZK calculations that model the contributions from several different harmonics. The nonlinear pressure field is generated by a spherically focused transducer with an aperture radius of 7.5mm and a radius of curvature of 60mm. The peak pressure on the surface of the transducer is 1.5MPa and the fundamental frequency is 1MHz. The lossy medium is defined for brain with β = 4.3, α = 0.6 $dB/cm/MHz^{y},$ and y = 1.46, and blood with β = 4.05, α = 0.16 $dB/cm/MHz^{y},$ and y = 1.2. The number of harmonics computed in each simulation is Nmax = 20. The pressure fields for the first four harmonics are shown. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
