Abstract
In underwater acoustics, laboratory tank sound propagation models may be improved using in situ characterization of water tank boundaries. An underwater acoustic tank model is developed with finite impedance boundaries determined in situ from impulse response measurements calculated from the frequency deconvolution of swept-sine signals following techniques commonly used in room acoustics. Impulse responses were used to obtain the acoustic absorption of the acrylic tank walls through reverse Schroeder integration determining the reverberation time and solving the Eyring equation for absorptive effects. This approach improves modeling of sound propagation in water tanks and is validated with numerical test cases and measurements. An improved tank model considering measured finite impedance boundaries will further develop the ability for more realistic data simulation in water tanks which will be used to design machine learning refinement.
