High-Fidelity Finite-Element Modeling of Shallow-Water Target Scattering
نویسنده
چکیده
The goal of this three-year effort is to develop a state-of-the-art, high-fidelity, finite-element, broadband computer simulation capability for modeling the scattering of sonar signals by undersea mines located in or near the seabed in littoral environments with smooth or rippled water/sediment interfaces. The target models will include all internal and external structural details that significantly affect the scattered field.

Experimental and Numerical Modeling of the Effect of Groundwater Table Lowering on Bearing Capacity of Shallow Square Footings
The lowering of the groundwater table causes the area above the water table to become unsaturated and capillary phenomena to appear in this zone. This means that the bearing capacity of shallow footings will be influenced by capillary stress or matric suction. In this research, the effect of groundwater table lowering on the bearing capacity of a shallow square model footing on dense sand has b...
متن کاملOcean Modeling with high-order unstructured grid methods
We review the spatial discretization procedure for three high-order, unstructured grid methods recently developed for use within ocean circulation modeling. They are based respectively on spectral finite element and high-order finite volume formulations. We discuss and contrast the three methods in the context of the shallow water equations.

Numerical modeling of machining processes is of significance in the parametric analysis and optimization of their performance. In this paper, a finite element-based model of abrasive waterjet (AWJ) cutting of a ductile material is presented with the help of an explicit, nonlinear finite element method. In this model, both solid-solid interaction and fluid-structure interaction are considered. T...

The objective of the ocean acoustics components of the GOATS project is to develop a fundamental understanding of the 3D mid-frequency (1-20 kHz) acoustic environment associated with the mine countermeasures (MCM) problem in shallow water (SW) and very shallow water (VSW) and to develop efficient physics based propagation and scattering models incorporating aspect-dependent targets and seabed f...
متن کاملFinite Elements for Shallow-Water Equation Ocean Models
The finite-element spatial discretization of the linear shallow-water equations on unstructured triangular meshes is examined in the context of a semi-implicit temporal discretization. Triangular finite elements are attractive for ocean modeling because of their flexibility for representing irregular boundaries and for local mesh refinement. The semi-implicit scheme is beneficial because it slo...
