Modeling of subcritical penetration into sediments due to interface roughness
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)Recent experimental results reveal acoustic penetration into sandy sediments at grazing angles below the critical angle. We have been investigating a mechanism for subcritical penetration based on scattering at a rough ... -
Scattering from a rough sedimental seafloor containing shear and layering, as determined by perturbation theory
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/07)First-order perturbation theory is applied to reverberation from a rough sedimental seafloor. In addition to existing approaches, the seafloor is allowed to be shear-supporting or to be layered. Scattering strengths are ... -
Temporal fluctuation of backscattered field due to bioturbatioon in marine sediments
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)Biological activity in marine sediments creates a time-varying, randomly fluctuating medium. A bio-diffusive model is proposed for predicting the temporal and spatial spectrum of sediment density fluctuations. Perturbation ...
