The article aimed to show the fundamental possibility of constructing a computational digital twin of the acoustic tomograph within the framework of a unified physics–mathematical model based on the Navier–Stokes equations. The authors suggested that the size of the modeling area is quite small, sound waves are waves of "small" disturbance, and given that a person consists of more than 60% water, human organs can be modeled using a liquid model, taking into account their density. During numerical experiments, we obtained the pressure registered in the receivers that are located on the side walls of the tomograph. The differences in pressure values are shown depending on the configuration of inclusions in the mannequin imitating internal organs. The results show that the developed technology can be used to probe the human body in medical acoustic tomographs and determine the acoustic parameters of the human body to detect neoplasms.

A problem of modeling radiation patterns of wave sources in two-dimensional acoustic tomography is considered. Each source has its own radiation patterns, and their modeling will be used to improve the solvability of inverse problems of recovering the acoustic parameters of human soft tissues and come closer to building a digital twin of acoustic tomography. The problem is considered as a control problem of the right side for the velocities by spatial variables. Two statements are investigated—control by time or space functions. A numerical solution method is implemented. The results of numerical calculations are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We consider the coefficient inverse problem for the first-order hyperbolic system, which describes the propagation of the 2D acoustic waves in a heterogeneous medium. We recover both the denstity of the medium and the speed of sound by using a finite number of data measurements. We use the second-order MUSCL-Hancock scheme to solve the direct and adjoint problems, and apply optimization scheme to the coefficient inverse problem. The obtained functional is minimized by using the gradient-based approach. We consider different variations of the method in order to obtain the better accuracy and stability of the appoach and present the results of numerical experiments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We investigate the mathematical model of the 2D acoustic waves propagation in a heterogeneous domain. The hyperbolic first order system of partial differential equations is considered and solved by the Godunov method of the first order of approximation. This is a direct problem with appropriate initial and boundary conditions. We solve the coefficient inverse problem (IP) of recovering density. IP is reduced to an optimization problem, which is solved by the gradient descent method. The quality of the IP solution highly depends on the quantity of IP data and positions of receivers. We introduce a new approach for computing a gradient in the descent method in order to use as much IP data as possible on each iteration of descent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
