Sound attenuation in a random waveguide when using a radiating system with different patterns of directivity

摘要

AbstractUsing numerical simulations of sound propagation on Russia’s shallow Arctic shelf, low frequency sound attenuation is analyzed for acoustic sources with different patterns of directivity, i.e., vertical discrete radiating arrays of different length. It is shown that sound attenuation depends largely on the parameters of patterns of directivity and the intensity of surface waves even at short rangesrfrom a source (r< 250H, whereHis the waveguide depth).]]>
