Abstract

A fast nearfield method (FNM) was developed for pistons that have a spatially uniform velocity. This fast nearfield method was implemented and compared with the standard Rayleigh integral approach. The Rayleigh-Sommerfield integral representing the apodized pressure field was also evaluated using the point source method. It was found that speedup on the order of 4 is achieved at 10 and 1% peak errors.
