Abstract

The conventional coupled mode solution is combined with perturbation theory to give a fast, accurate range-dependent normal mode solution for deep water acoustic propagation. Perturbation theory is used to calculate the new normal modes at each range step. The new modes are obtained as a linear combination of the modes for the previous step without requiring a numerical solution of the depth-separated wave equation. The process may be repeated for many steps and yields normal modes and eigenvalues which are sufficiently accurate for solution of practical problems in deep water. The method is applied to long-range propagation through oceanic fronts.
