Abstract

Three-dimensional numerical models offer unique insight into the nature of scattering from rough surfaces. However, use of these models is computationally prohibitive for any application more time-sensitive than basic research. This work seeks to determine a proxy for full three-dimensional rough boundary scatting models using appropriate two-dimensional models. Specifically, a Monte Carlo Kirchhoff approximation model in 2D with a derived proxy relationship applied is compared to a similar model in 3D. The region of validity of the proxy will be explored. The usage of the proxy function when applied to an finite element method model will also be discussed. [Work supported by ONR Ocean Acoustics.]
