THE METHOD OF FULL-SCALE MODELLING OF ACOUSTIC COHERENT IMAGES IN HYDROACOUSTIC TANK

Abstract

The method to perform a full-scale modelling of acoustic coherent images in hydroacoustic tank is
proposed in the paper. The method is based upon a direct measurement of parameters of the acoustic field which was
reflected from the studied model. The model simulates to a preset scale the specific surface features of the whole class
of actual objects. The proposed method makes it possible to minimize time and resources as well as improve
repeatability of the measured results irrespective of the ambient conditions, which ensures high reliability of the
obtained data.
