lib_raytrace is a C++ library and command-line utility for acoustic ray-tracing. It is based on MATLAB code written by Val, which uses the gradient-based approximation to Snell's law, and coded in C++ by Eric (as a high-school student) during a 2015 summer internship at the Center.
To build try the following:
git clone lib_raytrace
cd lib_raytrace
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make
To give it a go, try:
./src/app/main -ssp ../test_data/depths_svp.txt -angle ../test_data/theta_tt.txt

Here depths_svp.txt is space delimited text file with two columns of depth (m) and sound speed (m/s), and theta_tt.txt is a space delimited text file with two columns of launch angles and one-way travel times (in seconds).
The results consist of a table (one for each raytrace of input angle/travel time pair), in which the first two columns provide the horizontal and vertical coordinates of each step along the traced ray, the third column gives the cumulative distance traveled and fourth gives the cumulative one-way travel time. The number of entries in the table is equal to the number of entries in the input sound speed profile.
