Multiphysics Analysis of Ultrasonic Shock Wave Lithotripsy
Linear and Westervelt pressure profiles along the z axis and in r = 0 As shown in Figure 5 the highest pressure at the moment of the wave reaching the stone in linear solution is at Z= mm and in a Westervelt solution is at Z= 45 mm; this difference is due to the consideration of nonlinearity parameter in the Westervelt mentioned because of the consideration
