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.
