Description This research developed new computational methods for simulating high intensity focused ultrasound. In particular, the method can efficiently solve the nonlinear problem that models acoustic waves through biological media.
Exploitation Route This research could be taken to the next level towards clinical application.
Sectors Digital/Communication/Information Technologies (including Software),Healthcare

 
Title FEniCS Project libaries 
Description The software libraries support the solution of partial differential equations using the finite element method
