Hydroacoustics: Essentials

Fluid Mechanics, Hydraulics, Hydrology, and Water Resources for Civil Engineers by Amithirigala Widhanelage Jayawardena One of the core areas of study in civil engineering concerns water that encompasses fluid mechanics, hydraulics and hydrology. Fluid mechanics provide the mathematical and scientific basis for hydraulics and hydrology that also have added empirical and practical contents. The objective of Fluid Mechanics, Hydraulics, Hydrology and Water Resources for Civil Engineers is to assimilate these core study areas into a single source of knowledge.

Principles of Hydroacoustics by A. A. Kleschev This textbook is devoted to the study of the equations of liquid and solid elastic (isotropic and anisotropic). It provides the main characteristics of the reflectivity of ideal and elastic bodies as the simple forms (sphere, infinite cylinder, prolate and oblate spheroids) and bodies of non-analytical shape (finite cylinder with hemispheres at the ends). Moreover, in the textbook, along with classical methods of diffraction theory, such numerical methods as the finite element method and the boundary element method are used.

Underwater Communications and Networks by Yi Lou, Niaz Ahmed This textbook covers all related communication technologies of underwater wireless communication, such as acoustic communication, optical communication, and magneto-inductive communication. After describing each technology, the authors relay their pros and cons, as it is essential to learn the underlying mechanism, advancements, and limitations of these techniques. The authors also introduce research trends, pointing readers in the direction of research in the field of underwater wireless communication.
