In brandynlucca/acousticTS: Estimating acoustic target strength via physics-based scattering models

Generate a CAL-class object.

Description

Generate a CAL-class object.

Usage

cal_generate(
  material = "WC",
  diameter = 0.0381,
  sound_speed_longitudinal = NULL,
  sound_speed_transversal = NULL,
  density_sphere = NULL,
  theta_sphere = pi,
  ID = NULL,
  diameter_units = "m",
  theta_units = "radians",
  n_segments = 100
)

Arguments

material	Material-type for the soldi sphere. See 'Details' built-in material options.
diameter	Spherical diameter (m).
sound_speed_longitudinal	Longitudinal sound speed (m/s).
sound_speed_transversal	Transversal sound speed (m/s).
density_sphere	Density (kg/m^3).
theta_sphere	Backscattering direction (Default: pi radians).
ID	Optional metadata ID input.
diameter_units	Units for diameter. Defaults to "m".
theta_units	Units for direction. Defaults to "radians".
n_segments	Number of segments to discretize object shape.

Details

There are several options for the material argument:

Material	Argument	c1	c2	\rho1
