Algorithms for Tomographic Reconstruction of Rectangular Temperature Distributions using Orthogonal Acoustic Rays
Non-intrusive acoustic thermometry using an acoustic impulse generator and two microphones is developed and integrated with tomographic techniques to reconstruct temperature contours. A low velocity plume at around 450 °F exiting through a rectangular duct (3.25 by 10 inches) was used for …

Determination of acoustic ray paths in enclosed spaces
… derived to calculate the reflection points of acoustic rays emanating from a source to a receiver. Reflection points for up to three reflections could be determined if the location of the source, receiver and all reflecting surfaces were known. Assuming a point source, the distances along the …

Sound propagation around underwater seamounts
In the ocean, low frequency acoustic waves propagate with low attenuation and cylindrical spreading loss over long-ranges, making them an effective tool for underwater source localization, tomography, and communications. Underwater mountains, or seamounts, are ubiquitous throughout the world's …

Stochastic acoustic ray tracing with dynamically orthogonal equations
… and computationally efficient models for ocean acoustics is inherently challenging due to several factors including the complex physical processes and the need to provide results on a large range of scales. Furthermore, the ocean itself is an inherently dynamic environment within the multiple …

Impacts of short-time scale water column variability on broadband high-frequency acoustic wave propagation
Acoustical oceanography is one way to study the ocean, its internal layers, boundaries and all processes occurring within using underwater acoustics. Acoustical sensing techniques allows for the measurement of ocean processes from within that logistically or financially preclude traditional in-situ …
