空气中声源激发水下声场的水平纵向相关性

声场的空间相关特性是声场的重要特征,对水下探测、水声通讯等各种设备在实际海洋环境中应用的参数选择具有重要意义,是水声工程技术研究的重要基础之一。相比于水中声源激发声场的相关特性研究,空气中声源的相关研究很少。本文推导了空气中声源激发水下声场的水平纵向相关的简正波表达式,并通过数值仿真分析,比较了声源分别位于空气中和水中时水下声场的水平纵向相关特性。对南海海域进行的一次悬挂汽笛空气声源、海底水平阵接收信号海上实验获得的数据进行分析,结果表明:空气中声源位于不同距离时,其发射的声信号激发水下声场的水平纵向相关均存在明显的起伏结构,基于本文提出的空气中声源激发水下声场的水平纵向相关系数的简正波表达式能够较好地解释该现象.      

Formation of a weakly diverging caustic beam in an underwater sound channel open to the bottom

The paper studies the patterns manifesting themselves in the formation and propagation of caustic and weakly diverging beams using the geometric acoustic approximation and mode theory applied to the simplest model of an underwater sound channel open to the bottom in the form of the bilinear dependence of the square of the refractive index on depth. It is established that when a vertical array emitting a tonal sound signal is located at a certain critical depth, the multimode caustic beam which forms near the reference ray horizontally departing from its center and which predominates in intensity is simultaneously the most weakly diverging beam. It is shown that the reference ray of such a weakly diverging caustic beam corresponds to the smoothest minimum for the dependence of the length of the ray cycle on their angle of departure from the center of the array and to the depth level of revolution at the critical depth characteristic of the given oceanic waveguide.

Spatial Divergence of Multimode Acoustic Beams Formed by a Vertical Array in a Refracting Oceanic Waveguide

We consider the patterns manifested during the formation of the spatial intensity distribution of an acoustic field excited by a vertical array in a deep-water oceanic waveguide with an underwater sound channel open to the surface and an acoustically transparent bottom. The study focuses on the dependence of the spatial divergence of multimode beams on the angle of compensation of an array emitting a tone signal. It is established that if the size of the array aperture significantly exceeds the optimal size, then at a certain angle of compensation appreciably differing from zero, a multimode beam forms with minimal diffraction divergence even in the absence of bending points and smooth extrema of the dependence of the length of the ray cycle on the ray parameter.     

A novel location estimation based on pattern matching algorithm in underwater environments

In this paper, we present a novel approach based on pattern recognition to treat the underwater localization. The goal is to achieve underwater localization by the pattern matching algorithm. It should be noted that the reflected signals in underwater environments do not affect our location estimation. Therefore, the underwater localization in this study is straightforward and efficient by using the pattern matching algorithm. We exploit the maximum likelihood (ML) to perform our study. Initially, the underwater signals are collected by the sound receiver at some sampling locations. These signals are suitably processed by the ML models and are stored in database. The test location in real-time is estimated through the database. Experimental results show that good accuracy of positioning can be obtained by proposed schemes. The proposed localization schemes can be applied to many other applications in underwater environments.     

Effects of locally resonant modes on underwater sound absorption in viscoelastic materials

Recently, by introducing locally resonant scatterers with spherical shape proposed in phononic crystals into design of underwater sound absorption materials, the low-frequency underwater sound absorption phenomenon induced by the localized resonances is observed. To reveal this absorption mechanism, the effect of the locally resonant mode on underwater sound absorption should be studied. In this paper, the finite element method, which is testified efficiently by comparing the calculation results with those of the layer multiple scattering method, is introduced to investigate the dynamic modes and the corresponding sound absorption of localized resonance. The relationship between the resonance modes described with the displacement contours of one unit cell and the corresponding absorption spectra is discussed in detail, which shows that the localized resonance leads to the absorption peak, and the mode conversion from longitudinal to transverse waves at the second absorption peak is more efficient than that at the first one. Finally, to show the modeling capability of FEM and investigate shape effects of locally resonant scatterers on underwater sound absorption, the absorption properties of viscoelastic materials containing locally resonant scatterers with ellipsoidal shape are discussed.

Sound propagation in inhomogeneous waveguides with sound-speed profiles using the multimodal admittance method

The multimodal admittance method and its improvement are presented to deal with various aspects in underwater acoustics, mostly for the sound propagation in inhomogeneous waveguides with sound-speed profiles, arbitrary-shaped liquid-like scatterers, and range-dependent environments. In all cases, the propagation problem governed by the Helmholtz equation is transformed into initial value problems of two coupled first-order evolution equations with respect to the modal components of field quantities(sound pressure and its derivative), by projecting the Helmholtz equation on a constructed orthogonal and complete local basis. The admittance matrix, which is the modal representation of Direchlet-to-Neumann operator, is introduced to compute the first-order evolution equations with no numerical instability caused by evanescent modes. The fourth-order Magnus scheme is used for the numerical integration of differential equations in the numerical implementation. The numerical experiments of sound field in underwater inhomogeneous waveguides generated by point sources are performed. Besides, the numerical results computed by simulation software COMSOL Multiphysics are given to validate the correction of the multimodal admittance method. It is shown that the multimodal admittance method is an efficient and stable numerical method to solve the wave propagation problem in inhomogeneous underwater waveguides with sound-speed profiles, liquid-like scatterers, and range-dependent environments. The extension of the method to more complicated waveguides such as horizontally stratified waveguides is available.
