Active Sonar Modeling.

Abstract

The general problem to be considered here is acoustic scattering in the resonance region from arbitrarily shaped 3-dimensional targets in a fluid medium, possibly in the presence of a bottom. The techniques presented in this report can be applied to the general problem. For purposes of tractability at this initial stage, scattering from elastic targets is considered for rotationally symmetric homogeneous targets in free water. The problem of scattering in the presence of a bottom is solved for sound-hard and -soft targets on a hard or soft bottom.
