Review of numerical models in underwater acoustics including recently developed fast-field program
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1984/12)
Two papers given by SACLANTCEN personnel at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Hybrid Formulation of Wave Propagation and Scattering at Castel Gandolfo, Rome, Italy on 30 August to 3 September 1983 are published as a ...
Evaluation of experimental techniques for determining the plane wave reflection coefficient at the sea floor
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1986/06)
One of the most commonly used techniques for determinati on of the geoacoustical properties of the sea bed is the measurement of plane wave reflection coefficients at the ocean bottom. An incident field is pr oduced by ...
Numerical modeling results for mode propagation in a wedge
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1987/11)
A PE (parabolic equation) code is used to study propagation in a shallow water wedge with a penetrable bottom. Particular attention is given to "wedge modes" that have wave fronts that are arcs of circles centered on the ...
Sound propagation in shallow water: a detailed description of the acoustic field close to surface and bottom
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1982/02)
Experimental data are compared with normal-mode predictions for an isovelocity shallow-water propagation channel overlying a complicated layered bottom. Measurements were made close to both the sea surface and the sea floor ...
Shear properties of ocean sediments determined from numerical modelling of Scholte wave data
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1986/06)
Recently it has become apparent that shear properties of ocean sediments are most easily determined from measured propagation characteristics of seismic interface waves. We use a newly developed numeri ca l model of wave ...
Subcritical penetration of narrow Gaussian beams into sediments
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1988/03)
Complete wave-theory solutions have been obtained numerically for both the reflected and the transmitted fields associated with a narrow Gaussian beam incident on a water-sediment interface near the critical grazing angle. ...
Deterministic propagation modelling: Part 1: Fundamental principles *Part 2: Numerical results
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1981/06)
The physics of sound propagation in the ocean is briefly reviewed. The wave equation is presented and a set of solutions under a variety of approximations is discussed. The consistency among these solutions is illustrated.
High-speed simulation of an underwater acoustic field using an array processor
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1979/12)
A computer model PAREQ for simulating the acoustic field of sound propagating in a complicated ocean environment has been installed on a realtime computer system (HP MX21) which includes an array processor (MAP 300). The ...
