Abstract

Oceans cover a majority of our planet and are currently lacking in regards to exploration and technological innovations. One technology that can help enable more aquatic applications is underwater acoustic networks (UANs). This article discusses the current status of UANs, the new applications that can be provided, and the challenges faced by this technology.

Low-Power Based Coherent Acoustic Modem for Emerging Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks

Smart, small, inexpensive sensor nodes are used to construct underwater acoustic sensor networks. In addition, with the recent increase in the importance of underwater applications, the need for underwater communication has become more important. Hence, ...
An environment-friendly spectrum decision strategy for underwater acoustic networks

As the expansion of marine exploration, an increasing number of scholars have turned to the research of underwater acoustic networks (UANs). Recently, much attention was focused on enabling acoustic communication in UANs, a single network. However, in ...
Simulation of acoustic and flexural-gravity waves in ice-covered oceans
Abstract
We introduce a provably stable, high-order-accurate finite difference method for simulation of acoustic and flexural gravity waves in compressible, inviscid fluids partially covered by a thin elastic layer. Such waves arise when ...
Highlights
- Derive a high-fidelity method for simulation of acoustic and flexural gravity waves.
