Abstract

The numerical modelling of acoustic propagation in underwater environments using transmission line matrix (TLM) has received little attention for some time. This has been due, in part, to the need for an open boundary description, also known as a ‘perfectly matched load’ or PML, and the requirement for an accurate description of non-uniform bounding walls. The first of these problems has been solved by many researchers in subsequent years. The paper describes a novel solution to the second problem, allowing the incorporation of boundary-conforming Cartesian meshes into TLM schemes for acoustic propagation. This and a related technique are compared using the Buckingham and Tolstoy ideal 2D wedge benchmark test.
