Cathodic Protection System

There has been an increased need for understanding of how ship’s cathodic protection systems work in shallow water environment. This is a result of the evolving role of the US Navy. The existing cathodic protection system design process relies on experimental processes. This paper investigates a proposed modification to a deep water experimental facility to allow for measurements of electrical fields, a pertinent design measurement, in shallow water conditions. The modifications involve the insertion of a false bottom in the existing deep water tank. The work presented here are a series of computational studies that establish that the insertion of a false bottom would provide an electric field environment that is equivalent to shallow water for the depths considered.

Multipath Signal Propagation

In shallow water applications, multipath signal propagation is a major concern for robust communication. Multipath signal propagation is not explicitly seen in the channel, even though it is a main contributor for signal degradation. This fact motivated us to simulate multipath patterns to understand its influence in short-range communication. In this paper, a three-path signal propagation model is presented, where, besides the line of sight (LOS) signal, other two non-line of sight (NLOS) signals contact any point of channel boundary to reach the receiver. In simulation, the combination of eight possible multipath patterns is converged to estimate the received signal. A source fixed in water-tank periodically transmits low frequency acoustic signals 1 kHz and 1.5 kHz to the channel, and the receiver records them. The experiment was repeated for various input signal strengths. It has been observed that the simulation results coincide with the measured values. The good reception is noticed for signal frequency 1 kHz at 2.5m and 1.5 kHz at 1.2m. This study identifies the optimal signal strength for better signal reception in short range, which drives to the establishment of high-quality communication in shallow water.

A comparison of laboratory experiments in a shallow-water tank driven by an oscillating piston and numerical solutions of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation show that the latter can accurately describe slightly dissipative wavepropagation for Ursell numbers (h1L2/h03) up to 800. This is an input-output experiment, where the initial condition for the KdV equation is obtained from upstream (station 1) data. At a downstream location, the number of crests and troughs and their phases (or relative locations within a period) agree quantitatively with numerical solutions. The crest-to-trough amplitudes disagree somewhat, as they are more sensitive to dissipative forces. This work firmly establishes the soliton concept as necessary for treating the propagation of shallow-water waves of moderate amplitude in a low-dissipation environment.
