High-Fidelity Finite-Element Modeling of Shallow-Water Target Scattering

Abstract

The goal of this three-year effort is to develop a state-of-the-art, high-fidelity, finite-element, broadband computer simulation capability for modeling the scattering of sonar signals by undersea mines located in or near the seabed in littoral environments with smooth or rippled water/sediment interfaces. The target models will include all internal and external structural details that significantly affect the scattered field.
