Principles of Underwater sound, December 2016

This class will investigate underwater sound from a computational point of view. We will initially focus on the basic propagation in the ocean wave guide in both frequency and time domain. In the last part of the course will focus on ocean noise and source localization.

We meet in Zhoushan campus
