| dc.description.abstract | The pressure amplitude and phase distribution along the interface between a tapered fluid layer and an underlying fast fluid bottom were investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Two different theoretical models were compared experimentally: a simple model based on a combination of normal modes and ray theory and an exact solution based on the method of images. The experiment was conducted at 100 KHz with a wedge of silicon oil separated from a large tank of fresh water by a thin mylar diaphragm. The simple model failed to predict adequately the pressure amplitude and phase along the interface. The method of images gave accurate predictions. | |

Minimum pressure envelope cavitation analysis using two-dimensional panel method
(Monterey California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2008-06);An analysis tool for calculating minimum pressure envelopes was developed using XFOIL. This thesis presents MATLAB xecutables that interface with a modified version of XFOIL for determining the minimum pressure of a foil ... -
Propagation of Sound from a Fluid Wedge into a Fast Fluid Bottom
(1980-07);When sound propagates up the continental shelf towards the shore, there is a loss of lower frequencies. The distances from the shore at which each frequency is lost correspond closely to the depth at which normal modes ... -
Two computer programs for the evaluation of the acoustic pressure amplitude and phase at the bottom of a wedge-shaped, fluid layer overlying a fast, fluid half space
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1978-12); NPS-61-79-002The pressure amplitude and phase distribution along the interface between a tapered fluid layer and an underlying fast fluid bottom were investigated theoretically. Two computer models, both based on the method of images, ...
