Computational Ocean Acoustics cover

Senior level/graduate level text/reference presenting state-of-the- art numerical techniques to solve the wave equation in heterogeneous fluid-solid media. Numerical models have become standard research tools in acoustic laboratories, and thus computational acoustics is becoming an increasingly important branch of ocean acoustic science. The first edition of this successful book, written by the recognized leaders of the field, was the first to present a comprehensive and modern introduction to computational ocean acoustics accessible to students. This revision, with 100 additional pages, completely updates the material in the first edition and includes new models based on current research. It includes problems and solutions in every chapter, making the book more useful in teaching (the first edition had a separate solutions manual). The book is intended for graduate and advanced undergraduate students of acoustics, geology and geophysics, applied mathematics, ocean engineering or as areference in computational methods courses, as well as professionals in these fields, particularly those working in government (especially Navy) and industry labs engaged in the development or use of propagating models.

From the reviews of the second edition: "Book concisely sums up the progress made in computational ocean acoustics over the last thirty years, emphasizing the latest modern numerical techniques for solving the wave equation in heterogeneous fluid-solid media. The authors discuss in detail various computational schemes, highlighting the importance of theoretical foundations that lead directly to numerical implementations for real ocean environments. The book provides various numerical methods and theoretical foundations for solving wave equations in 2D and even 3D varying environments that the reader may find useful as a reference tool."
