Abstract
Acoustic scattering and reflection phenomena at the surface of marine sediment models were visualized by the shadowgraph method with an impulse source realized by a small spark gap. Water saturated glass beads were used as a sediment model. Lateral wave was clearly observed for fine sediments (small grain size compared with wavelength). Scattered waves and multiple reflected waves were observed for coarse sediments (larger or equivalent grain size compared with wavelength).
