This research investigates the impact of sound speed profile mismatch due to wind-generated bubbles on the matched field sound source localization in a shallow-water environment of the Persian Gulf. A bubble layer and a sound propagation Parabolic Equation models are combined with a high-resolution maximum-likelihood matched field processor to calculate and analyze the acoustic pressure field and source localization in the bubbly environment. To calculate the localization error, the bubble environment is compared to the bubble-free environment in five wind speeds from 6.6 to 10.2 m/s, source depths of 10, 45, and 75 m, and nine acoustic frequencies ranging from 2 to 10 kHz. The results demonstrate that the range and depth localization errors increase by increasing the degree of the mismatch and the source frequency. However, the errors are significant only at frequencies equal to or higher than 8 kHz and wind speeds greater than 8 m/s. Moreover, the values of these errors depend on the source depth. This result indicates that the errors of the source located at a depth of 10 m are more than those in the source in depths of 45 and 75 m.

For this purpose, an integrated method is developed for accounting the environmental impacts of TPs by including grey water footprint (GWF) in Recipe, a tool for life cycle impact assessment (LCIA).

The research focuses on the Rafsanjan Plain in southeastern Iran as a real case study, where no studies of meshless methods have been done. Computational models were implemented using MATLAB, integrating Radial Basis Functions (RBF) as the interpolation technique. The process commenced by establishing a groundwater flow model, where hydraulic head served as the foundational parameter for determining seepage velocity under unsteady-state conditions. Subsequently, the contamination transport was simulated within the aquifer for a period of six months. Comparative analysis between observed empirical data and the modeled values in both flow dynamics and contaminant transport revealed a significant and reasonable alignment. Analysis of the parameters showed that the value of the shape parameter (<span>({alpha }_{{text{c}}}))</span> can have the greatest impact on achieving a more accurate value. In this research, with <span>({alpha }_{{text{c}}})</span>=6 in the contamination transport model, the most reliable outputs were obtained compared to the observed values. Furthermore, the assessment of the coefficient of determination (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup> = 0.97) was conducted to evaluate the acceptability of the calibrated parameters. The high <i>R</i><sup>2</sup> value suggests a robust correlation between the observed and simulated data, indicating that the model's parameters are within an acceptable range. This finding underscores the accuracy and reliability of the developed MLPG method for analyzing contaminant transport in unconfined aquifers, particularly in the context of the Rafsanjan Plain.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":589,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology","volume":"21 13","pages":"8661 - 8674"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140974026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
