The stability analysis of the scheme using the von Neumann stability method has been studied. We conducted a study on modeling the propagation of acoustic waves in a heterogeneous medium and performed numerical simulations in various heterogeneous media at different time steps. Developed parallel code using Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) technology and tested on domains of various sizes. Performance analysis showed that our parallel approach showed significant speedup compared to sequential code on the Central Processing Unit (CPU). The proposed parallel visualization simulator can be an important tool for numerous wave control systems in engineering practice.
