Acoustic Tomography of Natural Bubble Fields and Ship Wakes

Abstract

The goals include development and refinement of tomographic algorithms with applications to the quantitative measurement of bubble fields. Natural bubble fields have a profound effect on sonar systems while ship wakes have a debilitating impact on the effectiveness of anti-torpedo torpedo systems. This research investigates the use of acoustic tomography and effective medium models for wave propagation in bubbly water as a means of determining physical properties of bubble fields.
