Traceo example

Traceo capabilities are exemplified in Fig.14, which shows the calculation of coherent TL in a shallow water waveguide, with an isovelocity profile for a frequency of 717 Hz. A rigid spherical object ($c_o$ = 2000 m/s, $\rho_o$ = 5.0 g/cm$^2$) is located at the position ($r_o,z_o$) = (10,25) m, blocking partially the acoustic field in the waveguide. Although no clear diffraction pattern is visible around the object the interference in the waveguide appears properly redistributed due to the object's presence.
