Underwater Sound Mathematical Model. Theoretical Discussion.

Abstract

The physical phenomena which affect performance measurements at SACS (Sensor Accuracy Check Site) must in part be studied through the use of an acoustic mathematical model. This document derives equations for the summation of two independent acoustic waves at a point receiver, derives equations for the summation of multiple acoustic waves at a point receiver, defines a three-dimensional source cardioid, and develops general equations for the summation at a point receiver of direct and reflected path acoustic waves emanating from multiple cardioid sources.
