Modeling close range air gun interactions using isosurfaces of the velocity potential

摘要

We describe an alternative way of modeling clustered air guns, by allowing the shape of the air bubbles to be described by isosurfaces of an incompressible velocity potential, as opposed to the traditional way of considering them as perfect spheres. This method solves some close-range interaction problems, and may possibly be used as a basis for a more complete modeling of clustered air guns.
