Marine Applications

AbstractDetecting low-frequency underwater acoustic signals can be a challenge for marine applications. Inspired by the notably strong response of the auditory organs of pectis jellyfish to ultralow frequencies, a kind of otolith-inspired vector hydrophone (OVH) is developed, enabled by hollow buoyant spheres atop cilia. Full parametric analysis is performed to optimize the cilium structure in order to balance the resonance frequency and sensitivity. After the structural parameters of the OVH are determined, the stress distributions of various vector hydrophones are simulated and analyzed. The shock resistance of the OVH is also investigated. Finally, the OVH is fabricated and calibrated. The receiving sensitivity of the OVH is measured to be as high as −202.1 dB@100 Hz (0 dB@1 V/μPa), and the average equivalent pressure sensitivity over the frequency range of interest of the OVH reaches −173.8 dB when the frequency ranges from 20 to 200 Hz. The 3 dB polar width of the directivity pattern for the OVH is measured as 87°. Moreover, the OVH is demonstrated to operate under 10 MPa hydrostatic pressure. These results show that the OVH is promising in low-frequency underwater acoustic detection.

New Perspective

The underwater acoustic siphon effect is proposed in this work, which aims to reveal the basic physical mechanism of high-efficiency sound absorption in meta-structures composed of multiple detuned units. Furthermore, the influence of the area ratio on the underwater acoustic siphon effect is then investigated by finite element simulation (FES) and theoretical calculation. On this basis, a meta-structure with the maximum absorption coefficient of almost 100% and average absorption coefficient of 80% at 600–1400 Hz is achieved. The underwater acoustic siphon effect could provide a better understanding of high-efficiency sound absorption and offer a new perspective in controlling underwater noises.
