BELLHOP gaussian beam/finite element beam code
(M. Porter, Heat, Light, and Sound Research, Inc.)

Eigenray, Eigenray Acoustic Ray Tracing Code with report (2015)
(B. Dushaw, Applied Physics Laboratory, U. Washington)
Describes a Fortran ray model which follows closely the Bowlin ray code "Ray" (written in C) and drawing on earlier work with John Colosi. This version is optimized for long-range, deep-water calculations.

Ray, Eigenray Ray Tracing Code (1992)
(Jim Bowlin, Orig. WHOI)
A basic, easy to use, range-dependent 2D ray tracing code written in C.

PyAT : A fairly developed Python interface to the acoustics toolbox, essentially translated from the Matlab interface to Python with added code to facilitate the use.
(Hunter Akins, UCSD)

Python version (This is a very preliminary version done as a demo by an HLS summer student. It is not for production use.)


Matlab Utilities and Codes

Acoustic Channel Simulator (readme and info) (2014)
 (P. Qarabaqi and M. Stojanovic, Northeastern University)
(see also http://millitsa.coe.neu.edu/?q=projects)
Matlab code that uses arrival time information from BELLHOP or a simplified multipath calculator for generating large-scale channel realizations.
