Abstract

The plane wave reflection coefficient is an acoustic property containing all the information concerning the ocean bottom and can be used as an input parameter to various acoustic propagation models. In this paper, we measure the plane wave reflection coefficient, the sound speed, thd the attenuation for saturated granular medium in the water tank. Three kinds of glass beads and natural sand are used as the granular medium. The reflection experiment is performed with the sinusoidal tone bursts of 100 kHz at incident angles from 28 to 53 degrees, and the sound speed and attenuation experiment are performed also with the same signal. From the measured reflection signal, the reflection coefficient is calculated with the self calibration method and the experimental uncertainties are discussed. The sound speed and the attenuation measurements are used for the estimation of the porosity and permeability, the main Biot parameters. The estimated values are compared to the directly measured values and used as input values to the Biot theory in order to calculate the theoretical reflection coefficient. Finally, the reflection coefficient predicted by Biot theory is compared to the measured reflection coefficient and their characteristics are discussed.

평면파 반사 계수는 수중에서의 음파에너지에 관한 해저 바닥의 모든 정보를 담고 있고 음향 해석 모델의 입력 값으로도 사용할 수 있는 음향학적 물리량이다. 본 연구에서는 실험실 수조 환경에서 입자 매질 ( 세 종류의 유리구슬, 모래 )의 평면파 반사 계수, 음속 및 감쇠계수를 측정했다. 반사 실험은 수조의 한계를 고려해 $28{\sim}53^{\circ}$의 입사각과 중심 주파수 100kHz의 협대역 신호를 이용해 수행했다. 자기 교정법 (Self-calibration method)을 이용해 측정된 자료로부터 반사 계수를 계산했고 측정된 반사 계수의 경향 및 실험의 불확실성을 서술했다. 입자 매질의 음속 및 감쇠계수는 거리 수신 신호간의 회귀분석을 통해 계산했다. Biot 이론을 이용해 측정된 음속과 감쇠계수로부터 다공율과 침투율을 추정하고 실제 지질학적 측정값과의 유사성을 확인했다. 최종적으로 추정된 다공율, 침투율을 이용해 이론적 인 반사 계수를 계산하고 반사 실험의 측정값과 비교했다. 본 실험 결과는 Biot 이론으로 일관성 있게 입자 매질의 음향학적 물성을 설명할 수 있음을 입증한다.
