Pseudo-spectral model of elastic-wave propagation through toothed-whale head anatomy, and implications for biosonar
Fawad Ali, Carlos García A., Aida Hejazi-Nooghabi +1
The sound-localization and, in particular, biosonar system of toothed whales is exceptionally performant. How this is achieved is not clear, given that: (i) toothed whales have no…

Feasibility of spectral-element modeling of wave propagation through the anatomy of marine mammals
Carlos García A., Vladimiro Boselli, Aida Hejazi Nooghabi +2
This study introduces the first 3D spectral-element method (SEM) simulation of ultrasonic wave propagation in a bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) head. Unlike traditional fin…
