Self Noise• Machinery Noise
– Pumps, reduction gears, power plant, etc.
• Flow Noise– Relative motion between the object and the water– High speed causes more noise (more friction)– Hull fouling - Animal life on hull (not smooth)– Want LAMINAR flow
• Cavitation – Local pressure behind allows steam to form (low pressure area)– Bubbles collapse, VERY NOISY

Screw Cavitation
Screw Speed , Pressure behind screw blades , Water Boils, Bubbles form, The subsequent collapsing of the bubbles cause the noise.

Ambient Noise• Hydrodynamic
– Caused by the movement of water.
– Includes tides, current, storms, wind, rain, etc.
• Seismic– Movement of the earth (earthquakes)
• Biological – Produced by marine life
– Passive and active
• Ocean Traffic– At long ranges only low frequencies are present.

How do we detect a submarine?
• Detect the reflected SIGNALDetect the reflected SIGNAL
• Detect the signal over the background Detect the signal over the background NOISENOISE
• SONAR (Sound Navigation Ranging)SONAR (Sound Navigation Ranging)
• SONAR equationsSONAR equations– Look at losses compared to signalLook at losses compared to signal– Probability of detectionProbability of detection

Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR)
Same as with RADAR. The ratio to the received echo from the target to the noise produced by everything else.
Detection Threshold (DT)
The level, of received signal, required for an experienced operator to detect a target signal 50% of the time.
S - N > DT

Figure of Merit (FOM)
FOM = the maximum allowable one-way transmissionloss in passive sonar, and the maximum two-way trans-mission loss in active for a detection probability of 50%.
PFOM = SL - NL + DI - DTAFOM = SL + TS - NL + DI - DT

Factors that affect Sound in H2O
• TemperatureTemperature
• PressurePressure
• SalinitySalinity
SOUND IS LAZY!!
It will bend towardsareas of slower speed.

Ray Propagation Theory
•The path sound travels can be depicted as a RAY or VECTOR
•RAYS will change direction when passing through two mediums of different density. REFRACTION!
•Sound will bend TOWARDS the region of SLOWER sound speed. Sound is lazy!
