Numerical simulation of high-frequency hydro-acoustic problems in coastal environments

Universidade da Coruña

A Coruña, Spain

Application Deadline: 20/11/2013

Description

The main goal of the project entitled “Numerical simulation of high-frequency hydro-acoustic problems in coastal environments” -SIMNUMAR is focused on the development and application of novel techniques of numerical simulation to acoustic wave propagation phenomena at high-frequency regime in highly heterogeneous and complex coastal environments.

Taking into account the specific goals of the present project, the following tasks will be addressed:

(1) Mathematical modeling of the coastal fluid media (highly heterogeneous and depending on several state variables) and the application of novel structural models to govern the seabed as a poroelastic medium.

(2) Application and numerical analysis of techniques based on absorbing layers to truncate unbounded domains in presence of interfaces between heterogeneous fluid and poroelastic media.

(3) Review and development of efficient and robust numerical procedures to approximate accurately the harmonic motion in hydro-acoustic problems at the high-frequency regime (involving measurements of side-scan sonars in a range from 1kHz to 200kHz).

Requirements

Primary Degree or equivalent in mathematics, engineering.

1 year of research experience.

Good level of english.
