The Effects of Sand Sediment Volume Heterogeneities on Sound Propagation and Scattering

نویسنده

  • Brian Todd Hefner
چکیده

To model the effects of volume heterogeneities in 1) scattering from sand sediments and 2) in sound propagation within those sediments. A better understanding of the role of heterogeneities in both scattering and propagation could lead to improvements in sediment characterization using remote sensing techniques as well as in high-frequency detection of mine and mine-like targets resting on or buried within the seafloor.

Dispersion and attenuation due to scattering from heterogeneities of the frame bulk modulus of a poroelastic medium.

While Biot theory can successfully account for the dispersion observed in sand sediments, the attenuation at high frequencies has been observed to increase more rapidly than Biot theory would predict. In an effort to account for this additional loss, perturbation theory is applied to Biot's poroelastic equations to model the loss due to the scattering of energy from heterogeneities in the sedim...

15: Broadband Scattering from Sand and Sand/mud Sediments with Extensive Environmental Characterization

The goal of this research is to further develop and test models of volume scattering by utilizing the existing suite of instrumentation previously developed at APL-UW for the study of high-frequency acoustics. These models include perturbation models applied to scattering from the seafloor due to heterogeneities in the sediment properties and models developed by Dr. Ivakin[1] for scattering fro...

Laboratory Investigations and Numerical Modeling of Loss Mechanisms in Sound Propagation in Sandy Sediments

During the Sediment Acoustics Experiment 2004 (SAX04), extensive efforts were made to determine the size distribution, spatial distribution, shape, and composition of shell hash and other objects in the sediment that were larger than the average sand grain size. This data will be used in conjunction with other environmental measurements to model the scattering from, and penetration into the sed...

High-Frequency Sound Interaction in Ocean Sediments

Our long-term goal is to develop accurate models for high-frequency scattering from, penetration into, and propagation within shallow water sediments. Reaching this goal requires a better understanding of several fundamental issues pertinent to high-frequency sediment acoustics. These issues include an understanding of the dominant scatterers versus frequency near the sediment surface, the pote...
