Principles of Underwater sound, December 2017

no

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.

Big plan

Each week we meet:
Mon 8-9:35
Mon 18:30-20:55
Tue 8-9:35
Tue 18:30-20:55
Thu 15:55-17:30
The first two week focus on ocean wave propagation, Chapter 1-2 and part of 4.
Third week on pulse propagation
Forth week on beamforming, matched field. In the first 2 weeks each group gives a presentaion (a group is 3 people). These can be either on a free topic or science questions given by the professor. For the free presentations:
Max 1 slide per peson.
Time between 1:30 to 2 min.
No words you dont understand.
Copying is OK, but give source. Likely better to do your own.
No phone or notes, have the notes on the slide.
