Abstract

Experiments were performed in a shallow two-dimensional water tank to determine the effects of diameter, spacing, and material properties on acoustic scattering by rows of cylindrical obstacles. Cylinder diameters ranged from 0.17 to 0.39 times the wavelength, and center-to-center spacings up to 1.2 wavelengths were investigated. In the limit of small spacings, multiple scattering was found to be characteristically similar to sound wave transmission through walls. Analysis of the experimental data indicated that the acoustic properties and microstructure of the scatterers could be distinguished by the transmissivity response of the arrays.
