Abstract

As one of the boundaries of ocean waveguide, the acoustic properties of seafloor sediments have been a hot research problem in ocean acoustic propagation and acoustic field modeling. The existing research has shown that the sound velocity in seafloor sediment is frequency dependent. In order to solve the problem that the sedimentary sound speed dispersing often be ignored in actual applications, this article uses the parabolic Newton to iterate to solve the dispersion equation to obtain the characteristic value of the normal mode. And the impact of frequency dispersion of sediment sound speed through simulation are studied. The results show that the sound wave in the time domain will appear more obvious broadening phenomenon, and the propagation loss will be reduced after considering the sound velocity dispersion of the sediment. Also, with the increase of frequency, the more obvious the effect of sound velocity dispersion on the sound propagation in the frequency range of sound velocity dispersion.
