Bubble distributions in the upper ocean.
bubbledistributi00hies.pdf (2.903Mb)Abstract
A bubble transport equation has been developed that
the bubble distribution, as a function of position,
velocity, and size, must satisfy. An analytical model for
bubble transport in the upper ocean is chosen and solutions
are developed for this model. For a surface source only,
these solutions compare favorably to experimental data in
the near-surface region. The depth of this region of
agreement depends upon the circulation field chosen, but
is of the order of 3 meters.

Acoustic-induced drag on a bubble
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 1999-03);This work reports experiments that show that the drag on a bubble can be modified by the presence of isotropic, homogeneous broadband acoustic noise, when the band overlaps the bubble's resonance width. This constitutes ... -
Characteristics of sound radiation from large raindrops
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 1990-12);(U) Drop diameters from 2.7 mm to 4.6 mm are common in heavy rainfall. The impact and bubble signals of the underwater sound radiation from these large drops at their terminal velocities have been identified. At a 1 MHz ... -
