Underwater Acoustic Modeling and Simulation

Underwater Acoustic Modeling and Simulation, 5th Edition, is a textbook that explains how physical understandings of sound in the sea translate into mathematical models. It addresses methods used to simulate acoustic propagation, noise, and reverberation across oceanic environments.

The volume details how these models function in research and operational settings to predict and diagnose sonar system performance. It also demonstrates how acoustic modeling serves as an enabling tool to assess noise impacts on the ocean soundscape.

Designed for individuals with a foundational knowledge of underwater acoustics seeking modeling familiarity, the text supports practitioners and students across acoustical oceanography, marine engineering, sonar technology, naval operations analysis, systems engineering, and applied mathematics.
