(color online) Surface plots of wave magnitude (rms) as a function of frequency and axial location [(a1) and (b1) at r = 0 m] or radial location [(a2) at z = 23.6975 m and (b2) at z = 25.5125 m]. The left figures (a1) and (a2) are odd-parity gap eigenmode while the right figures (b1) and (b2) are even-parity gap eigenmode.
