Abstract :
In this paper, we focused on deriving and refining the two-way parabolic equation (2WPE) formulations and developing the improved two-way split-step parabolic equation (2W-SSPE) method to model both forward- and backward-propagating waves over various lossy surfaces with impedance boundary conditions (IBC) in urban and tropospheric scenarios.
