Calculate ultrasound attenuation in distilled water
att = attenuationWater(f, T)
attenuationWater calculates the ultrasonic absorption in distilled
water at a given temperature and frequency using a 7th order
polynomial fitted to the data given by Pinkerton (1949, The Absorption of Ultrasonic Waves in Liquids and
its Relation to Molecular Constitution, Proceedings of the Physical Society. Section B, 2, 129-141). A plot of the absorption at 20degC returned by attenuationWater along with the absorption calculated by the corresponding power law given by Szabo (2004, Diagnostic Ultrasound Imaging) is given below.
f = 0:2:50; % [MHz]
att = attenuationWater(f, 20); % [dB/cm]
figure;
plot(f, att, 'k-', f, 2.17e-3*f.^2, 'bx');
