The bathymetry of the paths varied significantly. The first path crossed the shelf break and was characterized by a monotonic depth change from 350 to 120 m. The second path passed along the upper edge of the shelf break and featured a gentle depression 30 m deep, beyond which the sea depth remained relatively constant (~125 m). Fluctuations in the depth-averaged low-frequency sound intensity in the 215–330 Hz frequency range associated with internal waves were studied in detail. The analysis, including sound field modeling based on mode theory and a wide-angle parabolic equation, showed that the physical causes of the average-intensity fluctuations and their characteristics depend significantly on the bathymetry of the paths. Comparison of the modeling and experimental results allowed us to determine the key parameters of the waveguide. For the first path, the sound speed in the bottom was determined from the magnitude of the fluctuation variance. For the second path, bottom losses were determined from the linear slope of the fluctuation curve. During semidiurnal monitoring, it was found that the values of the dominant frequency of intensity fluctuations are virtually independent of the presence or absence of intense internal waves and solitons on the paths. This indicates that background internal waves during the specified time have approximately the same anisotropy and velocity as intense internal waves and solitons.</p>","PeriodicalId":455,"journal":{"name":"Acoustical Physics","volume":"72 1","pages":"68 - 89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148349810","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 first is associated with energy loss by the flow, which leads to instability when the energy of the vortex disturbances is negative. The second is the Miles mechanism of interaction between vortex core oscillations and disturbances in the vicinity of the critical layer (the streamline along which the phase velocity of the disturbances coincides with the velocity of the mean flow). This is accompanied by an energy flux from this vicinity, leading to damping of the oscillations in the case of negative energy (and, conversely, to Miles instability when the energy of the core disturbances is positive). A flow in which both of these mechanisms occur simultaneously is considered for the first time. For this, disturbances of circular vortices with negative energy are considered, for which both acoustic instability and Miles damping occur. It is shown that in the case of weak compressibility, the Miles mechanism can completely suppress acoustic instability. However, in the case of stronger energy loss due to acoustic radiation, acoustic instability will dominate. The influence of various parameters on these effects is analytically studied, and a quantitative criterion for the acoustic instability of a vortex with a smoothed vorticity profile is established. The effect of acoustic instability is considered for high velocities in the vortex core, including supersonic flow. Flow velocity enhances the acoustic instability increment due to more efficient sound radiation, which enables instability of vortices with stronger smoothness. This effect demonstrates that the behavior of vortex structures in high-speed jets can differ fundamentally from the case characterized by a low Mach number and, due to acoustic instability, intensify vortex oscillations, which in the subsonic case are characterized by strong damping. It is also shown that in an incompressible flow with a vortex confined by impedance walls, an alternative energy loss mechanism to the acoustic one is realized. In this case, Miles damping can also be overcome. Moreover, unlike the mechanism realized by outgoing acoustic waves, energy loss by the vortex due to absorption by the cylinder walls can be significantly more effective, leading to an expansion of the instability region to flows with smoother vorticity profiles.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":455,"journal":{"name":"Acoustical Physics","volume":"71 5","pages":"755 - 768"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147617934","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}

Quantitative indicators for assessing the quality of the sound environment are in demand when designing such zones, ensuring harmony between urban dynamics and the human need for silence. It is believed that human adaptation to the sound environment leads to the fact that residents of megacities stop noticing annoying sounds, although this does not negate their harmful effects on the nervous system, resulting in its exhaustion. In the interest of studying the properties of perception of the sound environment depending on its properties, as well as the degree of adaptation of residents to the environment, a cross-comparison of assessments of the quality of the sound environment, as well as the values of acoustic characteristics of spaces in the territories adjacent to the building, was carried out. The survey was conducted by two groups of respondents in academic buildings of two leading universities: Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU) and Bauman Moscow State Technical University (MSTU). The first group consisted of 30 third-year students from MSU, and the second, of 25 third-year students from MSTU. To assess the quality of the sound environment, the hearing examination method introduced by the International Organization for Standardization for Analysis of Soundscapes (ISO) was used. We assumed that the students of the two universities are well adapted to the sound and landscape environment of Moscow, and over the years, they have developed a sustainable attitude towards the environment of their university. A comparison of estimates of the quality of sound media and their acoustic properties indicates that MSU students were less sensitive to loud noise and quiet sounds of nature on the territories of the two universities. The reason for such differences may be the adaptation of MSU students to the environment of their university, which promotes natural audiovisual relaxation and increases psychoemotional stability.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":455,"journal":{"name":"Acoustical Physics","volume":"71 5","pages":"790 - 799"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147618009","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 medium is modeled as a half-space semiconductor rotating at a constant angular frequency, and the effects of key thermoelastic and rotational parameters on wave propagation are investigated. A fractional-order three-phase lag (3PL) heat conduction model is employed, incorporating higher-order time derivatives to capture coupled thermoelastic behavior. The secular equation for Rayleigh waves is derived analytically, and normalized local sensitivity analysis (NLSA) is applied to quantify the influence of input parameters including rotation <span>(left( Omega right))</span>, fractional order <span>(left( alpha right))</span>, and phase lags on wave properties. Silicon is used as a representative material, with all computations carried out in MATLAB. Results show that increases in Ω and α lead to higher phase velocity and penetration depth, while reducing attenuation and specific heat loss. Sensitivity rankings reveal that Ω and α are the most influential parameters, while <span>({{tau }_{v}})</span> and <span>({{tau }_{T}})</span> have negligible effects, making them suitable for factor fixing. This is the first study to couple fractional-order 3PL thermoelasticity with rotational effects in semiconductors while employing NLSA for parameter ranking, revealing up to 22% attenuation reduction at high rotation rates consistent with SAW gyroscope experiments.
