基于声学特性的南海“F”站位冷泉羽状流数值模拟

    Numerical simulation of cold seeps plume flow at the 'F' station in the South China Sea based on acoustic characteristics

    • 摘要: 海底冷泉羽状流的声学特性研究对于提升地球物理探测精度和估算冷泉甲烷通量具有重要意义。然而,现有模型在低温高压环境下的适用性仍存在局限。本研究通过采用Van der-Waals和Keller-Miksis方程,改进了含气泡液体中的声波传播速度方程和波动方程,使其更加适应低温高压环境的特点。以南海“F”站位为例,利用多波束测深数据和随机介质理论构建了冷泉羽状流的声学特征模型,并探讨了气泡半径和含量对声速的影响规律。

       

      Abstract: The study of the acoustic characteristics of subsea cold seep plumes is of great significance for improving the accuracy of geophysical detection and estimating methane flux from cold seeps. However, existing models still have limitations in their applicability to low-temperature and high-pressure environments. In this study, we have improved the equations for sound wave propagation velocity and wave dynamics in gas-containing liquids by adopting the Van der-Waals equation and the Keller-Miksis equation, making them more suitable for the characteristics of low-temperature and high-pressure environments. Taking the "F" station in the South China Sea as an example, we constructed an acoustic characteristic model for cold seep plumes using multi-beam sonar data and random media theory, and investigated the influence of bubble radius and concentration on sound speed.
