Abstract This work presents a boundary element formulation for two-dimensional acoustic wave propagation in shallow water. It is assumed that the velocity of sound in water is constant, the free surface is horizontal, and the seabed is irregular. The boundary conditions of the problem are that the sea bottom is rigid and the free surface pressure is atmospheric.
For regions of constant depth, fundamental solutions in the form of infinite series can be employed in order to avoid the discretisation of both the free surface and bottom boundaries. When the seabed topography is irregular, it is More >
