This is done primarily using a numerical approximation method called Finite Di erence Method. The rst part of this work is to approximate the solution in regions of the domain where the nonlinearities are negligible. The second part of this work is to approximate a solution in regions of the domain where the nonlinearities are non-negligibleenNonlinear acoustics, medical ultrasound, westervelt equation, finite difference methodNonlinear acoustics in medical ultrasoundA numerical approximation of the Westervelt equation using finite difference methodOther
