PRODUCT OVERVIEW
____________________________________________________________________________
k-Wave is an open source MATLAB toolbox designed for the time-domain
simulation of propagating acoustic waves in 1D, 2D, or 3D [1]. The toolbox
has a wide range of functionality, but at its heart is an advanced numerical
model that can account for both linear and nonlinear wave propagation, an
arbitrary distribution of heterogeneous material parameters, and power law
acoustic absorption.
The numerical model is based on the solution of three coupled first-order
partial differential equations which are equivalent to a generalised form
of the Westervelt equation [2]. The equations are solved using a k-space
pseudospectral method, where spatial gradients are calculated using a
Fourier collocation scheme, and temporal gradients are calculated using a
k-space corrected finite-difference scheme. The temporal scheme is exact in
the limit of linear wave propagation in a homogeneous and lossless medium,
and significantly reduces numerical dispersion in the more general case.
Power law acoustic absorption is accounted for using a linear integro-
differential operator based on the fractional Laplacian [3]. A split-field
perfectly matched layer (PML) is used to absorb the waves at the edges of
the computational domain. The main advantage of the numerical model used in
k-Wave compared to models based on finite-difference time domain (FDTD)
schemes is that fewer spatial and temporal grid points are needed for
accurate simulations. This means the models run faster and use less memory.
A detailed description of the model is given in the k-Wave User Manual and
the references below.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
____________________________________________________________________________
The k-Wave toolbox is installed by adding the root k-Wave folder to the
MATLAB path. This can be done using the "Set Path" dialog box which is
accessed by typing "pathtool" at the MATLAB command line. This dialog box
can also be accessed using the "Set Path" button on the ribbon bar. Once the
dialog box is open, the toolbox is installed by clicking "Add Folder",
selecting the k-Wave toolbox folder, and clicking "save". The toolbox can be
uninstalled in the same fashion.
For Linux users, using the "Set Path" dialog box requires write access to
pathdef.m. This file can be found under <...matlabroot...>/toolbox/local. To
find where MATLAB is installed, type "matlabroot" at the MATLAB command line.
Alternatively, the toolbox can be installed by adding the line
addpath('<...pathname...>/k-Wave');
to the startup.m file, where <...pathname...> is replaced with the location
of the toolbox, and the slashes should be in the direction native to your
operating system. If no startup.m file exists, create one, and save it in
the MATLAB startup directory.
After installation, restart MATLAB. You should then be able to see the
k-Wave help files in the MATLAB help browser. This can be accessed by
selecting "k-Wave Toolbox" from the contents page. Try selecting one of the
examples and then clicking "run the file".
If you can't see "k-Wave Toolbox" in the contents list of the MATLAB help
browser, try typing "help k-Wave" at the command prompt to see if the
toolbox has been installed correctly. If it has and you still can't see the
help files, open "Preferences" and select "Help" and make sure "k-Wave
Toolbox" or "All Products" is checked.
After installation, to make the k-Wave documentation searchable from within
the MATLAB help browser, run
builddocsearchdb(`<...pathname...>/k-Wave/helpfiles');
again using the slash direction native to your operating system. Note, the
created database file will only work with the version of MATLAB used to
create it.
If using the C++ or CUDA versions of kspaceFirstOrder3D, the appropriate
binaries (and library files if using Windows) should also be downloaded
from http://www.k-wave.org/download.php and placed in the root "binaries"
folder of the toolbox.

RELEASE NOTES
____________________________________________________________________________
New Features and Changes:
- axisymmetric simulations are now supported using kspaceFirstOrderAS and
kspaceFirstOrderASC
- single-frequency simulations in homogeneous media can be computed without
time-stepping using acousticFieldPropagator and acousticFieldPropagatorC
- time-varying sources in kspaceFirstOrder1D, kspaceFirstOrder2D, and
kspaceFirstOrder3D (and the corresponding C++ codes) now include a k-space
correction which improves accuracy for small numbers of points per period
- legacy behaviour for time-varying sources can be obtained by setting
source.p_mode = 'additive-no-correction' and source.u_mode =
'additive-no-correction'
- holographic projections of planar input data can be performed using
angularSpectrum and angularSpectrumCW
- measured pressure fields can be mapped to k-Wave inputs for accurate
holographic projections using calculateMassSource and calculateMassSourceCW
- 'PMLSize' can now be set to 'auto' to automatically choose grid sizes with
small prime factors
- 2D simulations can now be run using optimised C++ and C++/CUDA codes using
kspaceFirstOrder2DC and kspaceFirstOrder2DG
- kspaceFirstOrder3DC (etc) now automatically calls the combine_sensor_data
method if an object of the kWaveTransducer class is used as a sensor
- kspaceFirstOrder3DC (etc) now supports optional inputs to define the number
of threads, thread binding, and the verbosity level
- the compiled C++ codes have been combined into two binaries now called
kspaceFirstOrder-OMP (which supports 2D, 3D, and axisymmetric domains)
and kspaceFirstOrder-CUDA (which supports 2D and 3D domains)
- the input file for the C++ code has been updated to version 1.2 (the k-space
and shift variables, and PML vectors are no longer required)
- pstdElastic2D and pstdElastic3D can now return the particle velocity split
into compressional and shear components by setting sensor.record =
{'u_split_field'}
- kWaveDiffusion now allows command line updates to be suppressed by setting
the optional input 'DisplayUpdates', false
- kWaveDiffusion now prints a warning if dimension sizes have high prime
factors
- toneBurst now allows the number of ring-up and ring-down cycles to be
specified
- makeDisc and makeBall now allow non-integer radius values and maintain
correct radius on axis

- bug fix in kWaveDiffusion when using the plotTemp method in 3D with an odd
number of grid points (generated error)
