Studies Related to the Scattering of Acoustic Waves by Random Sound-speed Fluctuations and Rough Boundaries in a Shallow Channel

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the effects of an absorptive channel bottom and piecewise linear sound-speed profiles on the volume and surface scattering in a shallow channel. Ultimately, we wish to determine the distorting effects of scattering on communications and imaging in a realistic channel.
