Summary:

This is the most comprehensive and in-depth study of the theory and practical applications of hydroacoustic ocean exploration available, a must-have for any engineer, scientist, technician, or operator working in the exploration of the oceans, Earth's final frontier. The only book that offers a comprehensive and fully up-to-date coverage of hydroacoustic ocean exploration this work deals with the diagnostics of non-uniformities in a water medium using hydroacoustic parametric antennae. The non-uniformities of the water medium in the study are of geometrically regular shape, i.e., the shape of a sphere, a cylinder, and a spheroid. An account is given of theoretical and experimental studies of wave processes that occur in the event of the scattering of non-linearly interacting acoustic waves at a sphere, a cylinder, and a spheroid. Scattering problems are formulated; solutions to the inhomogeneous wave equation are found in the first and second approximations using the successive approximations method. For the first time, high-frequency asymptotic expressions of acoustic pressure for all spectral components of the secondary field are obtained for nonlinear scattering problems. The scattering diagrams are calculated and plotted, and then analyzed and compared. Results of experimental studies of the parametric acoustic antenna field scattering at solid steel spheres are presented. Experimental scattering diagrams both for the parametric antenna pump waves and for the secondary field waves including the difference frequency wave, the sum frequency wave, and the second harmonic wave are presented. 3D modeling wave processes is also considered. A must-have for researchers and specialists in nonlinear hydroacoustics and ocean acoustics, this valuable study is also a necessity for postgraduates and students specializing in hydroacoustics and ocean exploration. Hydroacoustic Ocean Exploration: Is the only in-depth study of nonlinear hydroacoustic ocean exploration that is available in book form, Outlines basic and advanced theories of hydroacoustics for practical use in exploring the world's oceans, Covers practical applications of cutting-edge technologies, covering the state-of-the-art, Is a valuable textbook for students and professors Audience: Project Engineers, oceanographers, statisticians, physicists, geophysicists, computer analysts, and any other engineer or scientist working with hydroacoustic methods to explore the oceans Book jacket.
