PROSIM Broadband Normal-Mode Model, a Users' Guide
Abstract
Sound propagation in the ocean can be described, in principle, by numerically solving the acoustic wave equation. Although simply stated, the computer implementation is generally difficult due to the complexity of the ocean-acoustic environment. In the last decades a variety of numerical techniques have been developed for computing sound fields in the ocean. Many of the existing ocean-acoustic numerical propagation models are highly sophisticated and take several hours to run on fast workstations or are very fast but not sufficiently accurate for scientific applications. Thus the development of a broadband (10 Hz - 10 kHz) acoustic propagation model requires special attention to accuracy, robustness and efficiency.
