Abstract
This study focuses on the efficient computational model for predicting the structural vibration induced underwater acoustic radiation in shallow marine environment. In the proposed model, the finite element method (FEM) is used to calculate the vibration response of the shell structures and the singular boundary method (SBM) with near-field and far-field Green’s functions is used to simulate the underwater acoustic radiation excited by shell structural vibration in shallow water marine environment, namely, the hybrid FEM–SBM solver. For axisymmetric shell structures, the axisymmetric numerical formulation of the FEM–SBM solver is derived to save the computational cost. For general shell structures, the fast direct solver based on the recursive skeletonization factorization is introduced into the FEM–SBM solver to accelerate the computation of the underwater acoustic field. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed FEM–SBM solver provides more efficient and reliable solutions in comparison with the coupled FEM/FEM solver (COMSOL software). The effect of the sound velocity profiles on the underwater acoustic radiation field in shallow water marine environment is numerically investigated.
