    Abstract

    A new method for analysis and evaluation of wave fields, complex Huygens wavelet expansion, is presented, which replaces the coventional Huygens wavelet bya secondary source with complex coordinates, evaluates the field from each wavelet by complex ray theory, and superposes the individual contributions to construct the wavefield from the primary source. The method of this expansion is illustrated. In comparison with exact reference solution, the error of the method is less than 1%, provided that the expansion parameters are properly chosen.
