Acoustic Time Reversal in the Shallow Ocean

Abstract

Acoustic time reversal is of interest to the United States Navy because it is an effective means for focusing sound in unknown underwater environments. For the last nine years, the Office of Naval Research has supported theoretical and numerical investigations at the University of Michigan into the performance of time reversing arrays in the ocean. This report summarizes the research accomplishments of these investigations.
