OASP Transmission loss calculation


  
Figure 4: Transmission loss contours produced by OASP and PP for a point source in an infinite fluid medium. a) Default trapezoidal rule integration with fast-field Hankel function approximation. b) Same problem, but full bessel function integration (Option f)

As an example of the use of OASP for computing transmission losses, and for demonstrating the difference between the full Bessel function integration and the default fast-field Hankel function approximation, the following data files computes the transfer function for a 150 Hz simple point source in a lossless, infinite fluid medium.

The execution of OASP with these input files generates the transfer function files, which are then converted to transmission loss by PP. Figure4 shows the transmission loss contours in depth and range, plotted from PP using plotmtv. The near field differences between the 'exact' and the fast-field Hankel transforms are evident.
