Accurate Ranging in a Stratified Underwater Medium with Multiple Iso-gradient Sound Speed Profile Layers

Most of the available localization algorithms require pair-wise ranging between the nodes. The more accurate the ranging, the more precise the localization. In this paper, the problem of accurate ranging between sensor nodes in an underwater environment is considered. It is assumed that the underwater medium is composed of layers with an isogradient depth-dependent sound speed profile (SSP). Fo...

Drainage in a model stratified porous medium

We show that when a non-wetting fluid drains a stratified porous medium at sufficiently small capillary numbers Ca, it flows only through the coarsest stratum of the medium; by contrast, above a threshold Ca, the non-wetting fluid is also forced laterally, into part of the adjacent, finer strata. The spatial extent of this partial invasion increases with Ca. We quantitatively understand this be...

A Stratified Approach for Sound Spatialization

We propose a multi-layer structure to mediate essential components in sound spatialization. This approach will facilitate artistic work with spatialization systems, a process which currently lacks structure, flexibility, and interoperability.
