An efficient coupled mode method for modeling sound propagation in horizontally stratified inhomogeneous waveguides, in which the seabed is modeled as a (layered) acoustic medium, is presented. The method is based on Fawcett’s coupled mode method and the multimodal admittance method. The acoustic field is expanded onto the unusual local eigenfunctions composed by normal modes in the corresponding one-layer homogeneous waveguides with constant depth equal to the local total depth of the multilayered waveguide. A set of energy-conserving first-order differential equations governing the modal amplitudes of acoustic fields is derived. The admittance method is employed to solve the differential equations in a numerically stable manna. The coupled mode method considers the backscattering effect of inhomogeneities and full coupling between local modes, and offers improvement from the viewpoint of efficiency and computational cost. The acoustic fields predicted by the method agree well with those computed by the commercial finite element software COMSOL Multiphysics. The method can be extended to further establish fast and accurate 3D sound propagation models in complex shallow water environments.

We compare the results of a coupled mode method with those of a finite element method and also of COUPLE on two test problems of sound propagation and scattering in cylindrically symmetric, underwater, multilayered acoustic waveguides with range-dependent interface topographies. We observe, in general, very good agreement between the results of the three codes. In some cases in which the frequency of the harmonic point source is such that an eigenvalue of the local vertical problem remains small in magnitude and changes sign several times in the vicinity of the interface nonhomogeneity, the discrepancies between the results of the three codes increase, but remain small in absolute terms.
