Marine Vessel Recognition by Acoustic Signature
Automatic recognition of an acoustic signature in underwater environments is an important and active field with multiple applications, one of which is vessel recognition. When a vessel moves through the sea, its engine and the cavitation generated by its propellers produce an acoustic wave of unique characteristics that allow for its individual identification. The problem of identification invo...
متن کاملModeling Trace Gases in Hydrocarbon Seep Bubbles. Application to Marine Hydrocarbon Seeps in the Santa Barbara Channel
Evaluating the importance of natural marine hydrocarbon seeps to global methane budgets requires correctly predicting the gas fraction lost by the seep bubbles during transit through the water column. In the Santa Barbara Channel, California, three widely differing seeps (depth, flux, oiliness) were visited and observations were made of seep gas partial pressures, Pi, near the surface for alkan...
متن کاملAcoustic Roles of Bubbles in the Ocean
Lots of bubbles are generated in the ocean by breaking waves, wind, rain and many other agents. In the late 1950s, the importance of bubbles at sea as acoustic scatterers was introduced to oceanographers and SONAR users in ocean acoustics by Urick and Hoover [R.J.Urick and R.M.Hoover, J.Acoust.Soc.Am. 28, 1038-42 (1956)]. Most early attempts to observe bubbles in the ocean were optical techniqu...
متن کاملAcoustic modeling of shell-encapsulated gas bubbles.
Existing theoretical models do not adequately describe the scatter and attenuation properties of the ultrasound contrast agents Quantison and Myomap. An adapted version of the Rayleigh-Plesset equation, in which the shell is described by a viscoelastic solid, is proposed and validated for these agents and Albunex. The acoustic transmission and scattering are measured in the frequency band from ...
متن کاملOn acoustic cavitation of slightly subcritical bubbles
The classical Blake threshold indicates the onset of quasistatic evolution leading to cavitation for gas bubbles in liquids. When the mean pressure in the liquid is reduced to a value below the vapor pressure, the Blake analysis identifies a critical radius which separates quasistatically stable bubbles from those which would cavitate. In this work, we analyze the cavitation threshold for radia...
