*INCIDENT WAVE INTERACTION PROPERTY
Define the geometric data and fluid properties describing an incident wave.

This option defines the geometric data and fluid properties used to define incident waves. Each *INCIDENT WAVE INTERACTION option must refer to an *INCIDENT WAVE INTERACTION PROPERTY definition.

Required parameter:

NAME

Set this parameter equal to a label that will be used to refer to the incident wave interaction property in the *INCIDENT WAVE INTERACTION option.

Optional parameter:

TYPE

Set TYPE=PLANE (default) to specify a planar incident wave.

Set TYPE=SPHERE to specify a spherical incident wave.

Data line to define an incident wave interaction property: 

First (and only) line:

  1. , the speed of sound in the fluid, defining the rate of propagation of the wave.

  2. , the fluid mass density.
