Comparison of experimental and simulated time-temperature curves for moving focus (1143 W/cm2 peak intensity, 6mm diameter of the circular trajectory). Left: The logged temperature data (blue) is first smoothed using a moving average (red), and then simulated (yellow) using a thermal conductivity of 0.49Wm-1K-1, a specific heat capacity of 2000Jkg-1K-1, and an acoustic absorption coefficient of 0.49nepers/cm at 1.66MHz. Right: Comparison of the simulation (solid yellow line) with repeat measurements in the same experimental set-up for different PVA/gel samples (smoothed data, dashed lines) illustrating experimental uncertainties in thermal dose (15-142CEM)
