The estimation methodology measures the energy of seismoacoustic pulse signals propagating in the water column along a series of acoustic paths with nearly identical seabed profiles. In the 70–350 Hz band, signal energy is primarily carried by water-column normal modes, and the resulting directivity pattern exhibits clear directionality closely matching the theoretical pattern calculated for deep-water conditions. In the low-frequency band (10–70 Hz), the directivity pattern shows no dependence on the azimuthal angle. Both experimental and theoretical analyses demonstrate that estimation of the directivity pattern in the 10–70 Hz band may be inaccurate when there are spatial heterogeneities in the seabed, specifically variations in the compressional-wave speed . These findings are directly relevant to assessing the acoustic impact of seismic surveys in coastal shelf regions.</p>","PeriodicalId":455,"journal":{"name":"Acoustical Physics","volume":"72 2","pages":"157 - 171"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149098145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three typical sound speed profiles in water taken from the World Ocean Database were considered: (1) with a negative gradient, (2) with a positive gradient, and (3) a nearly depth-independent profile. Three-dimensional spatial heterogeneities of the upper bottom sediment layer were taken into account. Calculations were performed using the wide-angle parabolic equation method and the normal mode method. The azimuthal dependence of sound propagation losses was estimated for a single near-surface source (vessel). For distributed wind-driven noise sources, the effective radius of the source region contributing to the noise field at a given receiver position was determined. Averaged spatial characteristics of the wind-driven noise field were obtained, and the modal composition of the noise was analyzed depending on the sound speed profile in water. It was demonstrated that the noise level in the selected region of the Kara Sea is determined primarily by the characteristics of the bottom sediments at the measurement site. Changing hydrological conditions lead to variations in propagation loss of up to 24 dB over 5 km for a single vessel as well as changes in the wind-driven noise level by 1–2 dB and variations in the radius of the noise domain of up to 2 km.

Of particular interest are nonlinear operational regimes, in which the wave profile within the ultrasound transducer’s focal region contains high-amplitude shock fronts. These regimes significantly broaden the spectrum of bioeffects achievable through ultrasound exposure. Shock-wave regimes hold great promise for the selective treatment of superficial skin layers at millimeter-scale depths. This approach requires increasing the ultrasound frequency to 4–10 MHz and developing miniature transducers with diameters of 15–20 mm. However, the feasibility of generating shock fronts with such transducers at relatively modest power levels (~100 W), attainable under practical conditions, has not yet been studied. In this work, numerical modeling was conducted to investigate this problem. The results demonstrate that shock front amplitudes up to 130 MPa can be achieved at the focus in skin tissue at input powers below 120 W using 4 MHz transducers with a diameter of 20 mm and a radius of curvature between 16 and 20 mm. Similarly, at 7 MHz, equivalent effects can be produced with comparable transducer parameters and input powers of less than 40 W. These findings suggest the feasibility of implementing shock wave-based methods for superficial skin treatments—such as those used in aesthetic medicine, dermatology, and plastic surgery—for scar tissue treatment—as well as in various other clinical contexts.</p>","PeriodicalId":455,"journal":{"name":"Acoustical Physics","volume":"72 1","pages":"14 - 28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148349717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The maximum value of the relative change in the SAW phase in the presence of methanol was 600 ppm, while for ethanol it was 350 ppm. The increased sensitivity to methanol vapors is explained by the specific interaction of the enzyme alcohol oxidase, which oxidizes methanol to formaldehyde and hydrogen peroxide in the sensor film.
