Numerical Studies of Acoustic Propagation in Shallow Water
نویسنده
چکیده
We have focused our attention on the development and use of the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. This time-domain technique, which is flexible, robust, and simple to implement, has previously been used by the electromagnetics community to solve a wide range of problems. However, the FDTD method has not been widely used by the acoustics community and its ability to accurately solve many of the problems related to propagation in a shallow water environment is the subject of continuing research.

متن کاملA Simulation Study of Multi-path Characteristics of Acoustic Propagation in the Strait of Hormuz
Multi-path interference due to boundary reflection in shallow water acoustic communication poses a major obstacle to reliable and high-speed underwater communication system. In this study, initially 3D variations of field data such as sound speed, temperature and salinity in horizontal transects of the Strait of Hormuz were analyzed using the ROPME data. Later, data on typical sound speed ...
متن کاملShallow water sound propagation over a layered calcarenite seafloor: an exercise in benchmarking various models
The sediment deficient western and southern Australian coastal seafloors consist of semi-compact layered calcarenite. Although there is a large body of work investigating and modelling the characteristics of underwater sound propagation over a layered elastic seafloor, there are still difficulties associated with modelling complex shallow water environments like the Australian shelf. For a rang...
