Abstract
We study the propagation of an acoustic wave in a moving fluid in the high frequency regime We calculate the asymptotic approximation of the solution around a mean flow of this problem using an Eulerian method By introducing the stretching matrix deformation tensor for the geometrical optics rays of the linearized Euler system we deduce the geometrical spreading This quantity is the key tool for computing the leading order term of the asymptotic expansion thanks to a conservation equation along the group velocity The main contribution is to construct and implement a numerical scheme in the Eulerian framework for the eikonal equation and for the transport equation on the stretching matrix We present numerical results for several test cases to study the convergence and validate our approach
