Extension of the Analytical Approximation to the Transmission of Sound in Shallow Water Using the Image Model

Abstract

An analytical approximation to the image theory model is developed for predicting the acoustical pressure field in a wedge-shaped ocean. This thesis is a continuation of the ongoing development of this model. Previously, limitations has restricted the source and receiver to be placed in only an upslope/downslope configuration. This thesis removes these limitations and allows the source and the receiver to be placed in cross-slope configurations.
