Testing a hydroacoustic radiator in a reverberant tank based on recording the sound field in the air above the tank

A method for calibrating a monopole sound source in a water tank with reflective side walls and bottom is considered. The idea of the method is based on the phenomenon of anomalous transparency of the water-air boundary for a sound source located at a shallow depth. This boundary plays the role of a filter that prevents waves reflected from the side walls and bottom from entering the air. For a shallow source, the field in the air will be approximately the same as for a source located at the same depth in a homogeneous water half-space. This field is described by a well-known analytical formula that makes it possible to estimate the source strength in water based on the sound intensity level measured in air.

Phase space representation of sound field in the Lake Kinneret

The paper presents the analysis of pulsed sound fields recorded by a vertical array in the Lake Kinneret (Israel). The transition from the traditional representation of the complex amplitude of the received field as a function of depth and time to a function representing the field distribution in the phase space `depth - angle - time' is considered. Due to the absence of multipath and problems with caustics, the sound field distribution in phase space is less sensitive to environmental disturbances and therefore more predictable than in configuration space. The transition is carried out using the coherent state expansion developed in the quantum theory. The found distribution of the field intensity in the phase space agrees with the calculation performed with an idealized environmental model. It is shown that this distribution can be taken as the input for solving the problem of source localization. The results of data processing demonstrate the possibility of using the coherent state expansion for isolating the field component formed by a given beam of rays.

Ray-based description of normal mode amplitudes in a range-dependent waveguide

An analogue of the geometrical optics for description of the modal structure of a wave field in a range-dependent waveguide is considered. In the scope of this approach the mode amplitude is expressed through solutions of the ray equations. This analytical description accounts for mode coupling and remains valid in a nonadiabatic environment. It has been used to investigate the applicability condition of the adiabatic approximation. An applicability criterion is formulated as a restriction on variations of the action variable of the ray.
