Forward sound propagation around seamounts : application of acoustic models to the Kermit-Roosevelt and Elivs seamounts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
The Basin Acoustic Seamount Scattering Experiment (BASSEX) of 2004 was conducted to measure forward-scattering around the Kermit-Roosevelt Seamount Complex in the Northeast Pacific. The BASSEX experiment was focused on the ...
Internal tide generation by tall ocean ridges
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Internal tides are internal waves of tidal period generated by tidal currents flowing over submarine topography. Tall ridges that are nominally two-dimensional (2-D) are sites of particularly strong generation. The subsequent ...
Three-dimensional propagation and scattering around a conical seamount
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
In this thesis, a numerically effcient three-dimensional propagation and scattering model is developed based on the three-dimensional coupled mode theory for axisymmetric bathymetry. The three-dimensional coupled mode ...
CFD study of hydrodynamic signal perception by fish using the lateral line system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
The lateral line system on fish has been found to aid in schooling behavior, courtship communication, active and passive hydrodynamic imaging, and prey detection. The most widely used artificial prey stimulus has been the ...
