Relationships of underwater sound pressure and particle velocity in a shipbuilding dock
2016
Underwater sound is characterized: 1. directional particle motion; 2. scalar pressure waves.
Theoretically these are related and it is possible to
estimate the particle velocity through measurements
of pressure (e.g. Filiciotto et al. 2016, Nedelec 2016).
However, this relationship assumes that sound
propagates as a plane wave; an assumption that is not
met in shelf seas or shallow water regions, where a
wide range of fish and invertebrate species have been
shown to respond to both sound pressure and particle
velocity (e.g. Radford et al. 2012).
Objectives: This work compares direct measurements of sound
pressure level (SPL) and particle velocity generated by
experimental pile driving.
