Paper presented at Acoustical Society of America (ASA).
A variety of ways of visualizing the energy flux or elastodynamic Poynting vector field are demonstrated including gridded vector field, color coding, and other methods for the simple example of a Rayleigh wave. In particular an improved version of a technique shown at the 8th International Conference on Theoretical and Computational Acoustics, ICTCA 2007 is demonstrated [David M. F. Chapman, "Visualizing acoustic energy flow into the seabed using energy streamlines," Eighth International Conference on Theoretical and Computational Acoustics, ICTCA 2007, Heraklion, Crete, GREECE, 2‐5 July 2007.]. The improved streamline method shows both the direction and the intensity of the energy flow.
