Computational Acoustics
Covers the theory and practice of innovative new approaches to modelling acoustic propagation
There are as many types of acoustic phenomena as there are media, from longitudinal pressure waves in a fluid to S and P waves in seismology. This text focuses on the application of computational methods to the fields of linear acoustics. Techniques for solving the linear wave equation in homogeneous medium are explored in depth, as are techniques for modelling wave propagation in inhomogeneous and anisotropic fluid medium from a source and scattering from objects.
Written for both students and working engineers, this book features a unique pedagogical approach to acquainting readers with innovative numerical methods for developing computational procedures for solving problems in acoustics and for understanding linear acoustic propagation and scattering. Chapters follow a consistent format, beginning with a presentation of modelling paradigms, followed by descriptions of numerical methods appropriate to each paradigm. Along the way important implementation issues are discussed and examples are provided, as are exercises and references to suggested readings. Classic methods and approaches are explored throughout, along with comments on modern advances and novel modeling approaches.
* Bridges the gap between theory and implementation, and features examples illustrating the use of the methods described
* Provides complete derivations and explanations of recent research trends in order to provide readers with a deep understanding of novel techniques and methods
* Features a systematic presentation appropriate for advanced students as well as working professionals
* References, suggested reading and fully worked problems are provided throughout
An indispensable learning tool/reference that readers will find useful throughout their academic and professional careers, this book is both a supplemental text for graduate students in physics and engineering interested in acoustics and a valuable working resource for engineers in an array of industries, including defense, medicine, architecture, civil engineering, aerospace, biotech, and more.

Relative Humidity Measurement of Air in Low-Temperature Ranges Using Low-Frequency Acoustic Waves and Correlation Signal Processing Techniques
Air relative humidity (RH) is an important control parameter in many industrial processes. The acoustic method is a novel technique to measure air humidity non-intrusively. Relevant research is limited. Existing methods use ultrasonic waves as a sound source and air humidity is measured by measuring the sound attenuation. In this paper, a novel air humidity measurement system using low-frequency sound waves as a sound source and two acoustic sensors is proposed. Air humidity is acquired by measuring sound speed in the air. Sound speed mainly depends on air temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, and air composition. The influence of air temperature, atmospheric pressure, and air constituent concentrations on the RH measurement is analyzed theoretically. A 0.1 s linear chirp signal in the frequency range of 200–500 Hz is selected as the sound source. Sound travel time is calculated by cross-correlating the sound signals received by the two acoustic sensors. To improve the accuracy of the sound speed measurement, sound speed under different RH points is obtained through reference RH experiments and substituted into the calibration equation. Then, equivalent sound path length and systematic delay are estimated using the least squares method. After obtaining these two parameter values, the sound speed measured by the system is closer to the theoretical value at the same RH point. In validation experiments using RH measured by a thermo-hygrometer as a comparison, the relative errors of the acoustically measured RH are within 9.9% in the RH range of 40.7–87.1%, and the standard deviation is within 4.8%.

The turbulent soundscape of intertidal oyster reefs
Turbulence and sound are important cues for oyster reef larval recruitment. Numerous studies have found a relationship between turbulence intensity and swimming behaviors of marine larvae, while others have documented the importance of sounds in enhancing larval recruitment to oyster reefs. However, the relationship between turbulence and the reef soundscape is not well understood. In this study we made side-by-side acoustic Doppler velocimeter turbulence measurements and hydrophone soundscape recordings over 2 intertidal oyster reefs (1 natural and 1 restored) and 1 adjacent bare mudflat as a reference. Sound pressure levels (SPL) were similar across all three sites, although SPL > 2000 Hz was highest at the restored reef, likely due to its larger area that contained a greater number of sound-producing organisms. Flow noise (FN), defined as the mean of pressure fluctuations recorded by the hydrophone at f < 100 Hz, was significantly related to mean flow speed, turbulent kinetic energy, and turbulence dissipation rate (ε), agreeing with theoretical calculations for turbulence. Our results also show a similar relationship between ε and FN to what has been previously reported for ε vs. downward larval swimming velocity ( w b ), with both FN and w b demonstrating rapid growth at ε > 0.1 cm 2 s −3 . These results suggest that reef turbulence and sounds may attract oyster larvae in complementary and synergistic ways.

Geometry-based multi-beam survey line layout problem
The multi-beam measurement system plays a crucial role in ocean mapping and underwater terrain detection. By simultaneously transmitting multiple beams, the system can accurately receive sound waves reflected from the seabed, providing more precise and comprehensive water depth information while effectively revealing the complexity and characteristics of underwater terrain. Under the background and application provided by Question B of the 2023 National Mathematical Contest in Modeling for College Students, this paper investigates the relationship between ocean floor width measurement and factors such as beam position, angle, and slope. Utilizing geometric relations, trigonometric similarity, and sine theorem, a mathematical model is established to determine adjacent strip coverage width and overlap ratio. Furthermore, an optimal strategy is determined by using a greedy algorithm, while binary search backtracking is employed to derive the interval of the next adjacent survey line with the required overlap ratio to obtain an optimal terrain detection strategy.
