To reduce parasitic grating maxima of the acoustic field, a spiral arrangement of piezoelectric elements on a spherical base was used. The operating frequency of the transducer was 35.5 kHz, and the diameter of the source and focal length were approximately 50 cm, significantly exceeding the wavelength (approximately 1 cm). This selection of parameters allowed for effective focusing, with localization of wave energy in a small focal region, thereby achieving extremely high levels of ultrasonic intensity. The parameters of the ultrasonic field were studied using a combined approach that included microphone recording of the acoustic pressure and measuring the acoustic radiation force acting on a conical reflector. Acoustic source parameters were determined from the two-dimensional spatial distribution of the acoustic pressure waveform, which was measured by scanning the microphone in a transverse plane in front of the source. Numerical modeling of nonlinear wave propagation was also used based on the Westervelt equation to simulate the behavior of intense waves.

The importance of detecting seeps in the Arctic shelf zone is constantly increasing due to degradation of underwater permafrost and the release of gas hydrates. Gas bubbles scatter underwater sound and their corresponding resonance frequencies are in the kilohertz range for seeps observed in nature. A promising method for detecting and studying seeps is probing with underwater sound near the denoted resonance frequency. This corresponds to a decrease in the operating frequency with respect to the traditional method of studying high-frequency sonars, so the proposed method will be classified as low-frequency in this study. This method expands the study area due to the low sound attenuation in water and the high scattering level near bubble resonances. The scattering strength was estimated taking into account collective interaction (group effects) of bubbles. The possibility of using low-frequency hydroacoustic systems to detect seeps is demonstrated using the results of a full-scale experiment using a simulated bubble jet as an example.

They have almost identical character: after the first collapse, only a single half-cycle is completed to attain different constant equilibrium radii.

The modeling was carried out for hydrological conditions in many situations corresponding to the shallow shelf zones of the Russian Arctic seas. A specific feature of these water areas is the presence of an almost homogeneous water layer on poorly consolidated bottom sediments with various characteristics, including a high degree of gas saturation. The dependence of the average intensity of the sound signal and its individual modes on the parameters of the problem has been studied: the characteristic scale of fluctuations of the interface and impedance of this interface, which determines its penetrable properties. It is shown that the influence of bathymetric fluctuations on the average intensity of acoustic modes has its own characteristics versus the influence of random volumetric inhomogeneities of the sound speed in the water layer and sediments, established earlier. Thus, bottom roughness of a relatively small scale leads, on average, to increased attenuation of a sound signal when propagating in a waveguide, and this can occur at relatively short distances from the source. An increase in the reflectivity of a rough bottom boundary weakens the effect of increased sound attenuation so that for typical values of sound speed in the bottom, attenuation at distances of 10–20 km from the source differs little from that for an undisturbed horizontal boundary.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":455,"journal":{"name":"Acoustical Physics","volume":"70 4","pages":"641 - 658"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142737328","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 eigenproblem is solved by the finite element method; the coefficients of the eigenfunctions are found by the least squares method. At the current stage of research, the full-scale experiment has been replaced by numerical simulation in a linear formulation of sound propagation in an impedance tube with normal wave incidence with a honeycomb resonator attached to it. The inhomogeneity of the pressure field over the cross section of the resonator is created from the different positions of holes in the resonator face plate.
