Abstract:Efficient and accurate mathematical codes for the prediction of underwater sound propagation are a critical component of SONAR system development and operation. Shallow water provides a unique set of complications to the problem of acoustic propagation prediction due to range dependence of acoustic properties resulting from a high number of wave interactions with the surface and seafloor and bathymetric variation. In this situation, the modes of vibration of the acoustic wave equation become coupled, with a tr… Show more
