Underwater Acoustic Propagation Modelling Software - AcTUI Version 1.6

Note:

The software downloadable from this page is no longer the current version. Click here for the current version.

Description

This page provides downloads for the Acoustic Toolbox, written by Mike Porter at HLS Research, and for a Matlab front-end for the Acoustic Toolbox written by Alec Duncan from the Centre for Marine Science and Technology at Curtin University of Technology.

The Acoustics Toolbox contains a number of underwater acoustic propagation models, including:

  • Kraken normal mode model
  • KrakenC complex normal mode model
  • Scooter fast-field model
  • Bellhop ray and Gaussian beam tracing model
  • Bounce bottom reflection coefficient calculation for layered media

This version contains fortran 95 source code, compiled executables for Pentium II and higher processors, documentation, example environment files, and some useful matlab utilities.

For more information on the Acoustics Toolbox, versions other than the one available here, downloads of other acoustic propagation models, and a wealth of useful information see the Ocean Acoustics Library (oalib).

The Matlab front-end provides a uniform, menu-based user interface for running these models and plotting the results. This makes the use of these models much quicker and easier, and is especially useful for running models at multiple frequencies or for comparing the results of applying different models to the same problem. The Matlab front-end works on Windows machines and with Matlab 5 or Matlab 6. See the Readme file for a more complete description.

I intend to update the Matlab front-end from time to time to add further capability. Email me at: <A.Duncan> if you would like notification of these upgrades.
