Generate a CAL-class object.

Usage

cal_generate(
  material = "WC",
  diameter = 0.0381,
  sound_speed_longitudinal = NULL,
  sound_speed_transversal = NULL,
  density_sphere = NULL,
  theta_sphere = pi,
  ID = NULL,
  diameter_units = "m",
  theta_units = "radians",
  n_segments = 100
)

Arguments

material: Material-type for the soldi sphere. See 'Details' built-in material options.
diameter: Spherical diameter (m).
sound_speed_longitudinal: Longitudinal sound speed (m/s).
sound_speed_transversal: Transversal sound speed (m/s).
density_sphere: Density (kg/m^3).
theta_sphere: Backscattering direction (Default: pi radians).
ID: Optional metadata ID input.
diameter_units: Units for diameter. Defaults to "m".
theta_units: Units for direction. Defaults to "radians".
n_segments: Number of segments to discretize object shape.

Value

Generates a CAL-class object.
