Abstract

A normal mode method for propagation modeling in common horizontally stratified shallow water, which is called beam-displacement ray-mode (BDRM) theory, is introduced. The peculiarity of this method is that the boundary effects on the sound field can be expressed by the equivalent boundary reflection coefficient, so BDRM theory can be extended to elastic bottom easily. Theoretical calculations of shallow-water sound field show that BDRM has high accuracy and fast speed. The pulse propagation in shallow water is also calculated by BDRM, and the calculated waveforms are in good agreement with the measured waveforms.
