Abstract
The results of an experiment conducted in September 2017 to substantiate the applicability of the “acoustic mudslide” effect when solving the positioning problems of autonomous underwater vehicles in cases of their operation at depths substantially exceeding the depth of the axis of the underwater sound channel are discussed. The results of the experimental studies and numerical analysis of the effect of an acoustic energy focusing in the near-bottom layer of the shelf and its transition into deep-water (up to 500 m) layers of the Sea of Japan for summer-autumn hydrological conditions are presented. Mathematical modelling of the propagation of acoustic waves in a model waveguide reproducing the experimental conditions using the parabolic equation method has been performed. The observed effective signal propagation speeds are explained using the normal wave method.
