Geoacoustic Parameters of Marine Sediments: Theory and Experiment

Abstract

There are two long term goals, as follows. 1) Sediments Develop a physics-based model to characterize the inter-relationships that exist between the geo-acoustic properties (i.e., compressional-wave speed and attenuation, shear-wave speed and attenuation, frequency, density, porosity, grain size, grain shape and overburden pressure) of saturated, unconsolidated granular media such as marine sediments. 2) Acoustics of ship wakes Relate the bubble structure to the acoustic properties of ship wakes.
