Application of acoustic contrast control method for sound focusing in shallow water environment

In this study, acoustic contrast control method is applied for sound focusing in shallow water environment. This method provides an optimal sound contrast to increase or decrease the specific area sound potential energy. The simulation was performed in shallow-water environment. First, Green's function between source point and field point is calculated via Acoustic Toolbox User-interface & Post-processor (AcTUP). And then, the effects of this process on environment parameters such as: control sources number, transmitting frequency and controlling zone of geometric location, are discussed. A comparison of the results is made and acoustic contrast control is shown to be an effective approach for sound focusing in shallow water environment.
