Predictive Model for the Analysis of the Effects of Underwater Impulsive Sources on Marine Life

Abstract

A method is provided to predict the biological consequences to marine animals from exposure to multiple underwater impulsive sources by simulating underwater explosions over a defined period of time, in a particular area in the presence of any number of simulated marine animals whose movements are constrained in three-dimensions.
