Comparison of ray methods with the exact solution in the 1-D anisotropic "twisted crystal" model

Petr Bulant, Ludek Klimes and Ivan Psencik

Summary

The exact analytical solution for the plane S wave, propagating along the axis of spirality in the simple 1-D anisotropic "twisted crystal" model is numerically compared with eight approximate ray-theory solutions of various provenance.
