The Physics of Sound Scattering from, and Attenuation Through, Compliant Bubbly Mixtures

Abstract

The goal of this research is to acquire a quantitative understanding, leading to predictive models, of the broader aspects of linear and nonlinear sound scattering and transmission in bubbly mixtures pertinent to the shallow water ocean acoustics scenario. This includes a conceptual understanding of the role played by stabilization mechanisms in bubble dynamics and longevity. Of particular interest is the phenomenological delineation of different regimes of behavior.
