Underwater acoustic modeling: principles, techniques and applications

P.C. Etter0419201904, 9780419201908

The subject of underwater acoustic modeling deals with the translation of our physical understanding of sound in the sea into mathematical formulas solvable by computers. This book divides the subject of underwater acoustic modeling into three fundamental aspects: the physical principles used to formulate underwater acoustic models the mathematical techniques used to translate these principles into computer models and modeling applications in sonar technology and oceanographic research.
