In this study, novel approximate form of the square-root operator of three dimensional acoustic Parabolic Equation (3D PE) is proposed using a rational approximant for two variables. This form has two advantages in comparison with existing approximation studies of the square-root operator. One is the wide-angle capability. The proposed form has wider angle accuracy to the inclination angle of ${\pm}62^{\circ}$ from the range axis of 3D PE at the bearing angle of $45^{\circ}$, which is approximately three times the angle limit of the existing 3D PE algorithm. Another is that the denominator of our approximate form can be expressed into the product of one-dimensional operators for depth and cross-range. Such a splitting form is very preferable in the numerical analysis in that the 3D PE can be easily transformed into the tridiagonal matrix equation. To confirm the capability of the proposed approximate form, comparative study of other approximation methods is conducted based on the phase error analysis, and the proposed method shows best performance.

The acoustic parabolic equation method in the ocean is an efficient technique to calculate the acoustic field in the range-dependent environment, emanating from a point source. However, we often need to use the directional source with a main beam in the practical problem. In this paper, we present two methods to implement the directional source in the acoustic parabolic equation code easily. One is simply to filter the Delta function idealized as an omni-directional point source. Another method is based on the rational filtering of the self-starter solution. It has a limitation not to separate the up-going and the down-going wave for the depth, but would be useful in implementing the mode propagation. Numerical examples for validation are given in the Pekeris environment and the deep sea environment.

This paper shows the analytic error caused by the inconsistency of the approximation order between the non local boundary condition (NLBC) and the parabolic governing equation. To obtain the analytic error, we first transform the NLBC to the half space domain using plane wave analysis. Then, the analytic error is derived on the boundary between the true numerical domain and the half space domain equivalent to the NLBC. The derived analytic error is physically expressed as the artificial reflection. We examine the characteristic of the analytic error for the grazing angle, the approximation order of the PE or the NLBC. Our main contribution is to present the analytic method of error estimation and the application limit for the high order parabolic equation and the NLBC.

Exact forward modeling of acoustic propagation is crucial in MFP such as inverse problems and various other acoustic applications. As acoustic propagation in shallow water environments become important, range dependent modeling has to be considered of which PE method is considered as one of the most accurate and relatively fast. In this paper higher order numerical rode employing the PE method is developed. To approximate the depth directional operator, Galerkin's method is used with partial collocation to lessen necessary calculations. Linearization of tile depth directional operator is achieved via expansion into a multiplication form of (equation omitted) approximation. To approximate the range directional equation, Crank-Nicolson's method is used. Final1y, numerical self stater is employed. Numerical tests are performed for various occan environment scenarios. The results of these tests are compared to exact solutions, OASES and RAM results.

Internal waves existing in the stratified ocean significantly affect acoustic propagation. In order to understand the effects of internal waves on acoustic propagation, the sound speed fluctuations due to internal waves are generated based on the Garrett-Munk spectrum which is derived from measured data in the East Sea. The acoustic propagation, where internal waves are present, is simulated numerically using a Galerkin higher order parabolic equation method(SNUPE). These results show favorable comparison to in-situ acoustic propagation data from the East Sea. To investigate the effects of acoustic propagation in random media, scintillation index is adopted and comparison between the measured and numerically simulated data is made.

This thesis deals with a method to solve a two-and-one-half-dimensional ($2\frac12$ D) problem, which means that the ocean environment is two-dimensional whereas the source is fully three-dimensionally propagating, including three-dimensional refraction phenomena and three-dimensional back-scattering, using two-dimensional two-way parabolic equation method combined with Fourier synthesis. Two dimensional two-way parabolic equation method uses Galerkin's method for depth and Crank-Nicolson method and alternating direction for range and provides a solution available to range-dependent problem with wave-field back-scattered from discontinuous interface. Since wavenumber, k, is the function of depth and vertical or horizontal range, we can reduce a dimension of three-dimensional Helmholtz equation by Fourier transforming in the range direction. Thus transformed two-dimensional Helmholtz equation is solved through two-way parabolic equation method. Finally, we can have the $2\frac12$ D solution by inverse Fourier transformation of the spectral solution gained from in the last step. Numerical simulation has been carried out for a canonical ocean environment with stair-step bottom in order to test its accuracy using the present analysis. With this spectral parabolic equation method, we have examined three-dimensional acoustic propagation properties in a specified site in the Korean Straits.

In order to examine the possibility of horizontal simulations of acoustic waves on the environments of big water depth variations, this study introduces a 3-dimensional model based on the pababolic equation. The model gives approximated solutions by separating the cross- and non cross-terms in the equation. Assuming artificial bathymetry (25 km × 4 km) with a source frequency 75 Hz, the simulations give clear horizontal refractions on the transmission loss distributions. The degree of refractions shows non-linear increase along the propagating range and proportional increase with water depth along the cross range. Another simulations with the real bathymetry (25 km × 8 km) also give clear horizontal refractions. The horizontal distributions present little difference with the depth resolution variations of the same data source because the model gives interpolations over the depth data before simulations. Meanwhile, the horizontal distributions show big difference with those of different data sources.

We suggest new 2D two-way Parabolic equation algorithm for multiple scattering. Our method is based on the successive performance of the single scattering approach. First. as the single scattering algorithm, the reflected and transmitted fields are calculated at the vertical interface of a range independent sector. Then. the reflected field is saved and the transmitted field Propagated to the next vertical interface with the split-step Pade method. After one step ends, the same Process is repeatedly performed with the change of the Propagation direction until the reflected field at the vertical interface is close to zero. Final incoming and outgoing fields are obtained as the sum of the wave fields obtained for each step. Our algorithm is relatively simple for the numerical implementation and requires less computational resources than the existing algorithm for multiple scattering
