Popis: Attenuation which is linear in frequency (as opposed to quadratic as for laminar viscosity) occurs in porous media wave propagation and biomedical applications. Straightforward use of Fourier transforms for frequency-linear attenuation violates causality. We give a causal time domain algorithm with numerical stability criteria and verify its accuracy. For acoustic wave propagation in ocean sediment, the algorithm results in a mild increase of phase speed with frequency as a result of the Kramers–Kronig relation. The algorithm gives results in good agreement with in situ data for sandy sediment.
