Benchmarking Scattering in Ocean Waveguides

Abstract

Acoustic models play a central role in the analysis and interpretation of propagation, reverberation, and noise data as well as for the assessment of sonar performance in complex ocean environments. The validation of general-purpose numerical models, however, poses a problem because of the lack of known (analytic) reference solutions for realistic ocean-acoustic scenarios. Earlier attempts to provide numerical reference solutions for propagation in canonical ocean environments were quite successful, but, so far, little effort has gone into establishing similar reference solutions for scattering.
