Consistency Tests of Acoustic Propagation Models

Abstract

Three wave-theory models (NM, FFP, PE) and one ray model are applied to four different ocean environments: a range-dependent surface duct, a deep- water environment with a homogeneous bottom, a shallow-water environment with a homogeneous bottom, and a sloping-bottom environment with a layered bottom. The consistency among the acoustic models is clearly demonstrated through the agreement between model results for the various test problems.
