Simulation of Bottom-interacting Ocean Acoustics: Transition into New Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
The ability to accurately and efficiently model the sound field in the water column when there exists significant acoustic interaction with the seafloor is critical in a variety of ocean-acoustic applications. Simulation methods with detailed fundamental treatments of the effect of acoustic energy on an elastic solid are often insufficiently robust when the environment is complicated or when long ranges are desired. The goal of this research is the creation of stable and computationally inexpensive acoustic modeling methods that can accommodate range dependence in both the water column and the bathymetry, accurately portray bottom reflection even when it is substantially impacted by support for elastic shear conversion, and still reliably develop predictions at ranges as long as the basin scale.

The main goal of this project is to increase our understanding of sound propagation in ocean bottom sediments, including ocean bottom multiphase material such as gas-bearing sediments and seagrass, which in turn benefits buried object detection, sonar operation and acoustic communications in shallow water. Another goal for the out years is to develop the proposed research apparatus into an oper...
متن کاملWind Wave Effects on Hydrodynamic Modeling of Ocean Circulation in the South China Sea
Wind, wave and current interactions control the boundary fluxes, momentum and energy exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean, and within the water column. The wind wave effect on the circulation is investigated in a threedimensional time-dependant ocean circulation model. This POM (Princeton Ocean Model) based model is implemented with realistic coastlines in South China Sea and emphasize...
متن کاملA perfectly matched layer for fluid-solid problems: Application to ocean-acoustics simulations with solid ocean bottoms.
A time-domain Legendre spectral-element method is described for full-wave simulation of ocean acoustics models, i.e., coupled fluid-solid problems in unbounded or semi-infinite domains, taking into account shear wave propagation in the ocean bottom. The technique can accommodate range-dependent and depth-dependent wave speed and density, as well as steep ocean floor topography. For truncation o...
متن کاملOcean Bottom Seismometer: Design and Test of a Measurement System for Marine Seismology
The Ocean Bottom Seismometer (OBS) is a key instrument for the geophysical study of sea sub-bottom layers. At present, more reliable autonomous instruments capable of recording underwater for long periods of time and therefore handling large data storage are needed. This paper presents a new Ocean Bottom Seismometer designed to be used in long duration seismic surveys. Power consumption and noi...
