The virtual source technique models wave propagation in complex ocean environments. This boundary integral method accurately simulates acoustic and elastic wave behavior in various waveguide and wedge scenarios.

Area of Science:

  • Computational physics
  • Acoustics
  • Wave propagation modeling

Background:

  • Modeling wave propagation in complex underwater environments with arbitrary boundaries is challenging.
  • The boundary integral method offers a way to handle complex geometries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To apply the virtual source technique to model wave propagation in a range-dependent ocean over an elastic bottom.
  • To investigate wave propagation in specific complex geometries: elastic Pekeris waveguide, acoustic wedge, and elastic wedge.
  • To validate the virtual source technique by comparing its results with established methods.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the virtual source technique, a boundary integral method.
