US Navy FY 1997 Research Program

Abstract

The National Center for Physical Acoustics (NCPA) provides an integrated physical acoustics laboratory to facilitate research in sound propagation and attenuation, molecular and chemical physics, and underwater acoustics. By integrating the needs of different funding agencies, NCPA can provide a critical mass of resources to tackle selected problems of interest to the Navy. These include the effects of bubbles on propagation under water (and of atmospheric turbulence), sound propagation in saturated sediments (and in soils on the earth s surface), as well as more basic physics of sound useful to Navy applications.
