Development of an OpenFOAM Solver for Hydroacoustic Simulations: An Application for Acoustic Fish Deterrence

This project aims to develop computational tools for analyzing an underwater acoustic system designed to deter invasive fish species in the Mississippi River Basin. It leverages an established numerical framework (OpenFOAM) and deals with understanding how to model the system. The study prioritizes enhancing the accuracy of the methods developed and ways to improve its computational efficiency.
