Paracousti is a parallelized acoustic wave propagation simulation package developed at Sandia National Laboratories. It solves the linearized coupled set of acousto-dynamic partial differential equations using finite-difference approximations that are second order accurate in time and fourth order accurate in space. Paracousti simulates sound wave propagation within realistic 3-D earth, static atmosphere and hydroacoustic models, including 3-D variations in medium densities and acoustic sound speeds and topography or bathymetry. It can also incorporate attenuative media such as would be expected from physical mechanisms such as molecular dissipation. This report explains the usage of the Paracousti algorithm.
