Understanding the mechanisms by which the ocean sediment redirects impinging sound back into the ocean is necessary in developing propagation models for sonar performance prediction. The Naval Underwater Systems Center (NUSC) has (1) conducted controlled, self‐calibrating acoustic measurements where the ocean bottom interacted signal is isolated in time for analysis, (2) developed deconvolution processing techniques to aid in describing the impulse response of the ocean sediment, and (3) performed modeling to study the interaction of acoustic waves at the ocean bottom. This paper presents a synopsis of studies showing the necessity of considering the refraction of sound by the ocean sediment when predicting low‐frequency propagation loss. Constructive interference between nonplanar wave sediment refracted sound and sound reflected by the ocean‐sediment interface and subbottom layering can cause negative values of bottom loss when using plane‐wave models to interpret measured data. These models cannot account for all possible acoustic arrivals at a receiver. In addition, for a given frequency and constant ocean bottom grazing angle, bottom loss can be dependent upon both processing bandwidth and source/receiver depth. Deconvolution has aided in time resolution of signals that make up the bottom‐interacted signals. Resolution of these signals aids in interpreting results. A modeling effort utilizing the Fast Field Program (a computer technique for evaluating the field integral by the fast Fourier transform) provides quantitative evidence for the necessity of accounting for the refraction of sound by subocean sediments to interpret properly low‐frequency propagation loss measurements.

Plane Wave Incidence

This paper deals with the scattering of time-harmonic acoustic waves by inhomogeneous medium. We study the problem to recover the near and the far field using a priori information about the refractive index and the support of inhomogeneity. The incident spherical wave is modified in such a way as to recover the plane wave incidence when the source point approaches infinity. Applying the low-frequency expansions, the scattering medium problem is reduced to a sequence of potential problems for the approximation coefficients in the presence of a monopole singularity located at the source of incidence. Complete expansions for the integral representation formula in the near field as well as for the scattering amplitude in the far field are provided. The method is applied to the case of a spherical region of inhomogeneity and a radial dependent refractive index. As the point singularity tends to infinity, the relative results recover the scattering medium problem for plane wave incidence.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate acoustic wave scattering by a large number of bubbles in a liquid at frequencies near the Minnaert resonance frequency. This bubbly media has been exploited in practice to obtain super-focusing of acoustic waves. Using layer potential techniques, we derive the scattering function for a single spherical bubble excited by an incident wave in the low frequency regime. We then propose a point scatterer approximation for N bubbles, and describe several numerical simulations based on this approximation, that demonstrate the possibility of achieving super-focusing using bubbly media.

Industrial Gas Turbine

A theory is developed to describe low-frequency acoustic waves in the complicated diffuser/combustor geometry of a typical industrial gas turbine. This is applied to the RB211-DLE geometry to give predictions for the frequencies of the acoustic resonances at a range of operating conditions. The main resonant frequencies are to be found around 605 Hz (associated with the plenum) and around 461 Hz and 823 Hz (associated with the combustion chamber), as well as one at around 22 Hz (a bulk mode associated with the system as a whole). The stabilizing effects of a Helmholtz resonator, which models damping through nonlinear effects, are included, together with effects of coupled pressure waves in the fuel supply system.

Acoustic Wave Generation

AbstractWe present a depth-integrated equation for the mechanics of generation, propagation and dissipation of low-frequency hydro-acoustic waves due to sudden bottom displacement in a weakly compressible ocean overlying a weakly compressible viscous sediment layer. The model is validated against a full 3D computational model. Physical properties of these waves are studied and compared with those for waves over a rigid sea bed, revealing changes in the frequency spectrum and modal peaks. The resulting model equation can be used for numerical prediction in large-scale domains, overcoming the computational difficulties of 3D models while taking into account the role of bottom dissipation on hydro-acoustic wave generation and propagation.
