Ultra Low Frequency Wave Produced by Underwater Oscillating Sphere and Its Measurement

When an underwater target moves in viscous fluid, it may cause the periodic movement of the surrounding fluid and generate ultra-low-frequency (ULF) gravity waves. The initial domain of the gravitational surface wave propagating above the moving target is named circular wave. This article studies th...

description When an underwater target moves in viscous fluid, it may cause the periodic movement of the surrounding fluid and generate ultra-low-frequency (ULF) gravity waves. The initial domain of the gravitational surface wave propagating above the moving target is named circular wave. This article studies the ULF circular wave generated by underwater oscillating sphere, which will provide basis for underwater long-range target detection. Firstly, the circular wave caused by the sphere oscillation in a finite deep fluid is studied based on the theory of linear potential flow. Meanwhile, the multipole expansion theory is established to solve the circular wave field. Secondly, the interface wave generated by the target oscillation in a two-layer fluid are numerically analyzed by comparison with the free surface fluctuation of a single-layer fluid. The results show that the amplitude of the internal interface displacement (AIID) is smaller than that of the free surface (AFSD). When the sphere is in the lower layer, the layering effect of the fluid has significant influences on the AFSD. Finally, the results of the pool experiment verified that the wave generated by the oscillating sphere is the surface gravity wave. Furthermore, the change trend of the test result is consistent with the simulation result.
