Ultrasonics
Ultrasound is used in numerous industrial and medical applications of which ultrasound imaging, cleaning and welding are well-known examples. The medical use of ultrasound includes the functional imaging of organs; and therapeutic ultrasound to destroy cancerous tissue and kidney stones. In all of these applications, the detailed modeling of ultrasound with Waveller increases the effiency and guides the R&D of ultrasonic equipments.
The modeling of high frequency ultrasound fields in inhomogeneous media is a highly demanding task for standard numerical tools. The ray based approximations fail when multiple complex shaped material interfaces are included in the simulation volume. In addition, ray based methods do not take into account standing waves. These phenomena can be simulated using full wave methods. However, the standard full wave techniques, such as the finite difference and finite element methods, require a large number of discretization points per wave length. At high frequencies this results in an intolerable computational load.
Many modeling limitations of earlier approaches can be avoided by using Waveller. The computational burden is dramatically reduced as compared to standard full wave methods (see Benchmark). Yet, detailed geometries as well as different wave sources can be easily included in the model. The modeling of ultrasonics was the origin of Waveller and we have a vast amount of experience in this area (see Publications-section).

Waveller ElectromagneticsThe first results using Waveller Electromagnetics are available in article Solving Maxwell's Equations Using the Ultra Weak Variational Formulation and in the screenshots-section. The mathematical formulation of Waveller Electomagnetics is extremely useful for solving electromagnetic field related wave problems in many application fields. We are currently seeking collaborators for developing a COMSOL plug-in for Waveller Electromagnetics.
