Abstract
Because it is difficult to apply direct and optical detection techniques to sunken hazardous and noxious substances (HNS), effective acoustic detection techniques are required to detect sunken HNS in water. In this study, the possibility of acoustic detection of sunken HNS was investigated through backscattering signal measurement experiments using chloroform, a sunken HNS. After establishing a pool in an acrylic tank, backscattering signals were measured according to the presences or absence of chloroform by varying the grazing angle from 90° to 50° in 0.5° intervals using a pan&tilt system. A directional transducer transmitted and received sinusoidal signals with a frequency of 200 kHz and a pulse length of 25 ㎲ in a monostatic state. When chloroform was deposited, the received level of the backscattering signal at the interface between water and chloroform became low at a grazing angle of approximately 80° or smaller. Based on the backscattering signal results obtained at the interface between water and chloroform, the possibility of acoustic detection of sunken HNS was demonstrated.
