Simulation of Acoustic Backscatter from Bubble Plumes Using a Finite-Element Model and a CW Full-Field Backscatter Method
Backscatter from large bubble plumes has been suggested as a possible cause of anomalous reverberation. This possibility has been examined using a finite-element full-wave acoustic model, FOAM and PE-FFRAME, a hybrid marching version of FOAM, applied to a large sea-surface plume having sound speed a...

Backscatter from large bubble plumes has been suggested as a possible cause of anomalous reverberation. This possibility has been examined using a finite-element full-wave acoustic model, FOAM and PE-FFRAME, a hybrid marching version of FOAM, applied to a large sea-surface plume having sound speed and density representative of a 30% volume fraction. A cw differencing technique was applied to isolate the backscatter. The technique involves calculating the total full-wave acoustic field with and without the object (plume) present; taking the difference of the two complex pressure fields in the backscattered direction gives a measure of the backscattered acoustic field caused by the object. The cw full-field backscatter method (cw FFBM) has been benchmarked by an analytic calculation of the backscattered field from a rigid plate. This and other benchmark examples will be presented that validate the cw FFBM. Plume backscatter using the cw FFBM was examined for environments in the Norwegian Sea and the Pacific.
