실제 해양에서 동일 수심과 거리에서 둘 이상의 음선이 교차하여 형성되는 Caustic에서는 고전적인 (classical) 음선모델(ray model)에서 나타나는 무한대의 음압이 아니라 주변지역과 비교하여 다소 높은 정도의 음압을 나타낸다. 하지만 caustic이라 할 지라도 음선들이 도달하는 도달시간차(travel time difference)와 펄스길이(pulse length)의 변화에 따라 음압상승현상의 폭이 달라지며 때로는 음압이 상승이 나타나지 않는 경우도 있다. 본 연구에서는 음선모델을 이용하여 caustic위치를 추정하고 펄스길이를 변화시키면서 신호모의를 실시하였다. 모의결과 caustic은 수렴대(convergence zone) 및 도파관(duct)등 음선이 모이는 곳에 집중되어 나타났고 펄스길이의 면화에 따라 음압이 다르게 나타났다.

Sound propagation algorithm for a sonar simulator is required to run in real-time and should be able to model the range and depth dependence of the Korean ocean environments. Ray model satisfies these requirements and we developed an algorithm for range-dependent ocean environments. In this algorithm, we considered depth-dependence of sound speed through rays based on a rectangular cell method and layer method. Range-dependence of sound speed was implemented based on a split-step method in the range direction. Eigen-ray is calculated through an interpolation of ray bundles and Gaussian interpolation function was used. The received time signal of sonar was simulated by Fourier transform of eigen-ray solution in the frequency domain. Finally, for the verification of proposed algorithm, we compared the results of transmission loss with other validated models such as BELLHOP, SNUPE, KRAKEN and OASES, for the Pekeris waveguide, wedge, and deep ocean environments. As a result, we obtained satisfactory agreements among them.

A heuristic method treating a layered ocean bottom in a ray modeling is to use the plane wave reflection coefficient for multiple-layered structure, named an one-layer assumption in this paper. We examine the validity of one-layer assumption in the case of two-layered ocean bottom, and obtain a simple inequality condition depending on the sound speed ratio, the ratio of layer thickness to source-receiver range, and the grazing angle of first reflected ray. From this inequality condition, it is shown that an one-layer assumption can be applicable to ray propagation problems at mid frequencies. Finally, numerical experiments are performed in the ocean environment similar to the East Sea in Korea. Incoherent transmission loss is calculated by the geometrical beam model with the plane wave reflection coefficient for multiple-layered ocean bottom and compared with the result of SNUPE 2.0, which is a parabolic equation package developed in Seoul National University.

High-frequency monostatic reverberation model (HYREV: HanYang Univ. REVerberation model) suitable for shallow-water environment is presented. It is difficult to predict reverberation signals in shallow water due to scattering from sea surface and seafloor. The arrival times and transmission losses from the source to scatterers are obtained from the eigenrays. The composite roughness theory is used to predict the boundary scattering. The signals generated by the HYREV and the GSM were compared with the observed signals and it is showed that the HYREV model provided a closer fit to the observed signals than those obtained using the GSM.

Low-frequency mono-static reverberation model for shallow-water environment is presented. It is necessary to develop the transmission loss model to calculate the sub-bottom interaction because the ray-based transmission loss model is difficult to compute the pressure accurately which penetrates the bottom medium. In this paper reverberation level is calculated using the RAM (Range dependent Acoustic Model) to augment the multi-path expansion model because it does not estimate transmission loss accurately in shallow water. The signals generated by the L-HYREV and the GSM are compared with the observed signals and it is showed that the L-HYREV model provides a closer fit to the observed signals than those obtained using the GSM.

Ray-based model for the calculation of the ocean surface-generated ambient noise coherence function has the form of double integral with respect to a range and a bearing angle. While the theoretical consideration about its numerical implementations was partly given in the past work of authors, the numerical results on the ocean environment have not been presented yet. In this paper, we perform numerical experiments for shallow and deep water environments. It is shown that the coherence function depends on the ocean sediment sound speed, and is more sensitive to the ocean sediment sound speed in the shallow water than in the deep water. Similar trend is also observed for varying the orientation of hydrophone pair. In addition, a post-processing technique is proposed in order to plot the noise intensity for the noise receiving angle. This procedure will supplement the weakness of the ray-based model about the output data type compared to the semi-analytic model of Harrison.

Sound in the ocean is scattered by inhomogeneities of many different kinds, such as the sea surface, the sea bottom, or the randomly distributed bubble layer and school of fish. The total sum of the scattered signals from these scatterers is called reverberation. In order to simulate the reverberation signal precisely, combination of a propagation model with proper scattering models, corresponding to each scattering mechanism, is required. In this article, we develop a reverberation model based on the ray theory easily combined with the existing scattering models. Developed reverberation model uses (1) Chapman-Harris empirical formula and APL-UW model/SSA model for the sea surface scattering. For the sea bottom scattering, it uses (2) Lambert's law and APL-UW model/SSA model. To verify our developed reverberation model, we compare our results with those in Ellis' article and 2006 reverberation workshop. This verified reverberation model SNURM is used to simulate reverberation signal for the neighboring seas of South Korea at mid frequency and the results from model are compared with experimental data in time domain. Through comparison between experiment data and model results, the features of reverberation signal dependent on environment of each sea is investigated and this analysis leads us to select an appropriate scattering function for each area of interest.

Mid-Frequency bistatic reverberation level is modeled using ray theoretic algorithms. The algorithm assumes multiple forward/backward scatter along with reciprocity in the Propagation paths. The environments modeled are assumed to be range independent in bathymetry, bottom scattering and surface scattering. Mid-Frequency bistatic scattering algorithm is used as a scattering model. A comparison of predicted reverberation versus time with measured data is presented to verify the bistatic reverberation model. The result demonstrates that it is possible to obtain reasonable reverberation Predictions in experimental site.

1986년 미국 음향학회 수중음향학술분과 특별회기중에 제안된 표준쐐기형 매질내의 음장을 계산하기 위하여 영상모델이 사용되었다. 음장의 계산 결과는 왕복결합모드무델과 음선모델에 의한 계산 결과들과 비교되었다. 영상모델은 그 특성에 의한 제한점을 갖고 있으나, 표준 쐐기형 매질의 음장 계산에 사용될 수 있고, 기존의 수치모델과는 달리 개인용 컴퓨터로써 쐐기형 매질의 음장 계산이 가능하기 때문에 음파 전파 현상분석 등의 연구에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.
