Laboratory Investigations and Numerical Modeling of Loss Mechanisms in Sound Propagation in Sandy Sediments

Abstract

The potential loss mechanisms for propagation in sandy sediments will be investigated through numerical modeling, laboratory investigations, and field data analyses. Efforts will be made to determine the relative importance of each of these mechanisms and to use these results to improve existing propagation models or to develop new theories of acoustic propagation through sand sediments.
