NSTL Station, Mississippi 39529 FOREWORD Oceanic volume reverberation can adversely affect the performance of Navy sonars. Small swimbladder- bearing fish are the primary cause of this reverberation at ship sonar frequencies. This report describes a new acoustic model of a swimbladder-bearing fish. This model is an improvement over previous models and should be of value in future volume reverberation studies. This report was originally a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Ph.D. degree in acoustics at the Catholic University of America. CHARLES G. DARRELL Captain, USN Commanding Officer NORDA oustic Scattering sh and Dev. Activity RETURNED A TS a WHO] COLLECTION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Anew model of a swimbladder-bearing fish has been developed in order to provide improved predictions of the resonant frequency and acoustic cross section of such a fish. The model consists of a small spherical shell in water, enclosing an air cavity which supports a surface tension. The shell is a viscous, heat-conducting Newtonian fluid, with the physical properties of fish flesh. A comparison of the results obtained with the new model to experimental data indicates that the new model constitutes a definite improvement over previous models. The new model can predict the high values of damping and elevated resonant frequencies that previous models could not. The model appears to be most accurate for fish in which tension in the swimbladder wall has a minor effect on resonant scattering. This includes the fish which are of interest in studies of volume reverberation and therefore, the new model should be of considerable value in such studies.

This scattered sound is termed volume reverberation. If volume reverberation levels are high, the operation of an active sonar can be adversely affected. Specifically, high reverberation levels can mask an echo reflected from a particular target of interest. During World War II, researchers studying sonar echo ranging at the University of California Division of War Research (UCDWR) discovered that volume reverberation levels were usually vertically stratified. Layers of high reverberation, on the order of 100 m thick, were found, usually within the upper 1,000 m of the water column, extending over large geographic areas of the Pacific Ocean [1,2]. Other researchers subsequently found such layers in other oceans [3,4]. These layers came to be known as deep scattering layers (DSL). In addition, it was found that these layers frequently rose to shallower depths around sunset and descended around sunrise. This gave rise to the hypothesis that deep scattering layers were caused by biological organisms, which were known to undergo diurnal vertical migrations [5]. The great difference between the acoustic impedances of air and sea water causes an air bubble to be a much more effective scatterer than other objects of comparable size [6]. This fact led Marshall to examine the possibility that small mid-water fish which contained air-filled swimbladders were the cause of DSL [7]. His study strongly implicated such fish as major components of DSL. The primary scattering mechanism was considered to be swimbladders which could resonate in the fundamental, or volume pulsation, mode when insonified at the proper frequency. Subsequent research by Hersey and co-workers displayed the frequency dependence of reverberation levels and provided further qualitative proof that resonant scattering by swimbladder-bearing fish was the major cause of volume reverberation in the ocean [8-1 1]. The study of volume reverberation in the world ocean has continued (for example, see reference 12) and it is now generally accepted that swimbladders of fish are the predominant scattering mechanism in most geographic areas. However, it has not been until very recently that quantitative comparisons between fish distribution data and acoustic volume reverberation data have been made. The fundamental volume reverberation parameter is the back-scattering coefficient of a unit volume of ocean, M, which is the ratio of the scattered intensity at a unit distance from the unit volume, |,, to the incident intensity, |;, [13], p= VAL (I-1) If it is assumed that the scattered signals add incoherently [13], then M can be defined in terms of the scatterers as (1-2) j=1 where n is the number of scatterers in volume V and gq; is the ratio of scattered power to incident intensity of the jth scatterer. o is called the acoustic cross section of the scaiterer. Although M is the fundamental parameter, the quantity which is most often utilized in any discussion of volume reverberation is the scattering strength per unit volume, S,, which is M expressed in decibels. S,=10logM . (I-3) S, is often simply called scattering strength [14]. In any acoustic measurement of volume reverberation, S, is obtained basically from the equation S, = 10 log (I,/I,) . (1-4) The determination of |, and |, is relatively straightforward and acoustic measurements of S, are fairly routine. However, if a determination of S, is to be made from the distribution of scatterers, the equation employed is n S, = 10 log [aa x: I (I-5) j=1 The difficulty in making quantitative comparisons between acoustic measurements of volume reverberation and the distribution of swimbladder fishes lies in the determination of both n and g. The determination of the number of fish and the species, size and swimbladder size of each is strictly a biological problem which will not be considered here. However, the difficulty of this problem is not to be minimized. Given the size and swimbladder size of an individual fish, calculation of o is also difficult, due to the complex structure of fish. Simplified models have been developed in order to estimate o near resonance for an individual fish. These models are based on the premise that only the swimbladder is a significant contributor to O near resonance. Experimental evidence [15] shows, in fact, that this is so, whereas, at frequencies much higher than the resonant frequency, the swimbladder and the body of the fish contribute about equally to o [16]. Experimental evidence indicates that the existing models have some shortcomings. After a review of the models and the experimental data, it will be the purpose of this report to develop an improved model of resonant scattering from an individual swimbladder-bearing fish in order to eliminate or at least decrease the shortcomings of the existing models. Existing Models A swimbladder is essentially just an air bubble within the fish, so that the simplest acoustic model of a swimbladder fish is an ideal spherical air bubble having the same volume as the swimbladder. The frequency of the fundamental mode of resonance of a small ideal spherical air bubble in water was determined by Minnaert [17] to be W°a? = SY2Po_ (I-6) Pow, where W, is the circular frequency of resonance, a the equilibrium bubble radius, P, the ambient pressure, Y, the ratio of specific heats of air, and p,,, the density of water. The acoustic cross section of a small ideal spherical air bubble in water is [18] 4ma? Ch re re Uti ROE | (1-7) (ey Ss oy Cre where w is the insonifying frequency and c,, is the sound velocity in water. The limiting factor on these equations is the size of the bubble, which is limited to values such that (wa/c,)<<1. For a small real air bubble in water, the above equations for w, and o remain the same, except that the term (w2a?/c,2) in equation |-7 is replaced by d? [18]. d is an unspecified damping constant which includes the effects of heat conduction, surface tension, viscosity, and other processes. Devin [19] studied the damping at resonance of real air bubbles in water. He found that the damping constant at resonance, 5, was the sum of three damping processes: thermal damping, 5,,, viscous damping, 5,,,, and radiation damping, 5,24, 5 = Sai + Sys + By (1-8) 5 is defined such that, at w = w,, d = 5. Devin determined the values of 5,,4, 5, aNd 5,,, for bubbles of the size which are of present interest, to be Wa Orad a oa , (I-9) = Any : = 3 (Ya = 1) K, i i ote Gee) a where n,,, is the shear viscosity of water, k, is the thermal conductivity of air, A, is the density of air, and c,, CHAPTER Il A NEW MODEL The Model The purpose of this report is to improve the equations which are presently utilized to predict the resonant frequency and acoustic cross section of a swimbladder fish, in order to facilitate the correlation of acoustic and biological volume reverberation data. A new model for a swimbladder fish is proposed and the appropriate equations developed for it. The model consists of a small spherical shell, enclosing an air cavity, in water. The shell is chosen to be a viscous, heat-conducting Newtonian fluid, with the physical properties of fish flesh, and the interface between the shell and the cavity supports a surface tension. The shell is insonified by a harmonic plane compressional wave whose wavelength is large compared to the shell diameter. For convenience, the center of the shell will be taken as the origin of the coordinate system and the wave will travel in the positive direction along the z-axis. Spherical coordinates (r, 8, @) will be used to describe the field, where r is the distance from the origin, 6 the polar angle and @ the azimuthal angle. Since the problem is axisymmetric, 9/d@ = 0. Acoustically, fish flesh may be considered to resemble soft rubber. In such a substance, shear waves are much less important than transverse waves and the substance can be closely approximated by a viscous fluid. Modelling fish flesh as a viscous liquid has advantages over modelling it as an elastic solid with a complex shear modulus. Specifically, exact equations (Navier-Stokes) exist for the motion of viscous fluids, whereas a phenomenological approach is required if a complex shear modulus is utilized. The body of a fish which surrounds its swimbladder will cause an increase in stiffness over that of a free bubble. It is assumed that most of that increased stiffness in concentrated in the swimbladder wall and may be modelled by a surface tension at that interface. Unlike an elastic modulus, swimbladder tension may be under the fish’s control and could account for otherwise unexpected variations in resonant frequency. Limits and Physical Properties Several limits will be placed on this model. These include limits on applicable depth, frequency, and size ranges. The depth range of interest is from the surface to 1,000 m, which corresponds to an ambient pressure of 10° to 108 dynes/cm?. The frequency range is 100 Hz to 40 kHz, which corresponds to a circular frequency, w, of 2m x 10? to 8m x 10* rad/sec. The fish size range is 1 cm to 1 m. This roughly corresponds to an inner shell radius, a, of 10-1 to 5 cm. (Appendix A contains a discussion of swimbladder volumes.) The ratio of outer shell radius, b, to ais 2.5 b/a< 6 for small fish and 2.5 < b/a < 3.2 for large fish. Two further limitations will be that 6 x 102cm/sec S$ was 2.4 x 104 cm/sec and that wb < 7 x 10* cm/sec. In addition to swimbladder size, the surface tension at the swimbladder wall must be specified. For small fish, IA 102 dyne/cm < s < 10° dyne/cm and for large fish, 102 dyne/cm < s < 109 dyne/cm. The rationale for this choice of ranges is discussed in Appendix A. Several other parameters must also be specified. These include the velocity of a compressional wave (sound velocity), c; density, P,; specific heat at constant pressure, c,; ratio of specific heats, y; thermal conductivity, k; shear viscosity, n,; and bulk viscosity n,; for air, sea water, and fish flesh. Subscripts a, w, and f will be utilized to indicate the properties of air, sea water, and fish flesh, respectively. For convenience, a viscosity parameter, &, is defined as E = fn, + ny. (4) The parameters are listed in Table 1, for a temperature of 10°C and, unless specified, a pressure of one atmosphere (10° dyne/cm2). The properties of air were obtained from references 42 and 43 and those of sea water from reference 44. The properties of fish flesh are discussed in Appendix A.

The first approximations were that y,, = y; = 1. Secondly, since k,# k;>>k,, it was assumed that any heat generated in the air is rapidly conducted away, so that the temperature in fish flesh and water is constant. Thirdly, SINCE Ny>>N1s,,>>Ns,, it was assumed that n,, = N., = 0. One further assumption which greatly simplifies the problem is made in this model. As discussed in Chapter |, only the fundamental, or zeroth mode of oscillation will be considered. Formulation of Equations The first step in the determination of the resonant frequency and acoustic cross section of the new model is the determination of the proper wave equations in water, fish flesh, and air. The wave equations are determined from the basic equations of motion as given by Hunt [45], generally following the method discussed by Epstein and Carhart [46]. The basic equations are the continuity equation, >t + V: (pu) = 0 ; (Il-2) the equation of conservation of momentum, p af = —p(0°V)G — VP + EV(VU) — nV x (Vx) ; (II-3) the equation of conservation of energy, oT — | A> —W y.g4y-q _ = , \|-4 and the equation of state, p = e(P,T) ; (II-S) where p is density, t is time, U is a velocity vector, P is pressure, c, is specific heat at constant volume, T is absolute temperature, B is the coefficient of thermal expansion, q is a heat conduction flux vector, Ge Eo (II-6) and @, is a viscous dissipation function. Equations II-2 through II-5 are linearized by assuming that T= © & oh, ed) Py PometsPn) (II-8) geil tee a, (I-9) and P(p,T) = Po(Po,To) + Pi » (II-10) where the subscripts 0 and 1 refer to the average and perturbation values of the parameters, respectively.

(I-75) The plane wave impinging on the shell will be represented by Py, = Aekow , (II-76) where P,, is the perturbation pressure of the wave in water, and A is the pressure amplitude.

The incidence of the wave upon the shell gives rise to five additional waves, which are represented by the solutions of equations II-62, II-63, II-65, II-66, and II-75. These equations can be solved by standard separation of variables techniques. The solutions are: = 2 Dagig (k,,") P 9 (cos 6) , (II-78) W, = > B.gig(ks,F) Pe(cos 6) , (II-79) 2=0 ai anaes (Kar) + Ey on o(kar)] Pp (cos) , (II-80) Phe = = By ghe(ko,r) Po(cos 6) ) (II-81) 2=0 and 0 Aor = DS [Figi olka) + GioMo(kat)] P’ g (os 8) , (I-82) Q=I where B, D, E, F, and G represent the amplitudes of the waves, n Kz,f) is a spherical Neumann function, and h,(k,,") is a spherical Hankel function of the first kind. P,,, indicates the scattered compressional wave in water, so that P, = Py, + Pu. - (1I-83) One of the assumptions of this model is that only the fundamental mode contributes to the scattering. Thus only the &£ = 0 mode is considered. Examination of equation II-82 shows that for & = 0, A, = 0. (11-84) The remaining equations are now written for & = 0: Py = Ajo(Koyt) + Bwho(Koyr) (II-85) P, = Bilo(kar) + Epno(kar) , (II-86) Wi = Dajo(k,,") .

Boundary Conditions Equations II-85 through II-88 contain five unknown coefficients. Thus, five boundary conditions are required for the solution of this set of equations. These conditions are the continuity of normal velocity, u,, and normal stress, T,,, at both interfaces and continuity of temperature at the inner interface. The first step in solving for B,,/A, therefore, is to obtain u,, T,, and T in terms of P,,, P;, W,; and Wo. Equation II-50 gives T, in terms of P,.

Equation III-16 could be solved numerically with a computer by choosing values for the various physical parameters and calculating the S,'s and a,'s. However, this will not be done because the purpose of this report is to obtain simplified equations for w, and o which can be solved without resorting to use of a computer. The simplified solution is based on the ranges of the physical properties and the limits of the variables given in Chapter Il. Itis obtained by assuming that | k,,a | is large and that k,,b, k,,b, and k,,a are small and accepting any errors which are less than ten percent. Order of magnitude comparisons are then made between various terms and any term which is always less than ten percent of another term is neglected. This simplification process is shown in Appendix B.

The ranges of &, for which exact values are not known, and s, which may be varied, were extended beyond the limits of present available data. However, the largest values of a, w, and P,, used in this model are not beyond the range of possible values. These limitations were imposed by the assumption that k,,a is small. This required that, for the error caused by using just the first term of the spherical Bessel function expansions to be less than ten percent, wa < 2.4 x 10* cm/sec. The limitation of k,,a being small is a factor in all the previous models, but in most cases it is not mentioned or, if it is mentioned, no limiting value is given. The range of & utilized in the solution of the new model was 1 poise < &€ < 104 poise. However, a more likely range of &, as shown in Appendix A, is 50 poise < & < 2 x 103 poise. This narrower range will be utilized in the remainder of the discussion because it results in a simplification of equations III-26 and III-34 without, in all probability, affecting the results.

A and A are negligible compared to 1 for &< 2 x 103 poise. A and A were the only remaining terms which contained b. Thus, for the a/b range given in Chapter II, b is unimportant for § $2 x 10° poise. Figure 2 gives w,a as a function of depth and surface tension, calculated from equation IV-1. s has essentially no effect on w,a for s/a < 10° dyne/cm? at any depth and for s/a < 10° dyne/cm? for depths below 100 m. For s/a values around 5 x 10’ dyne/cm?, pressure has essentially no effect on wa for depths less than 100 m and at a depth of 1000 m, w,a is increased by only 50 percent over its value near the surface.

Values of 2 x 102 poise/cm < &/a < 10° poise/cm give values of Q,,, which are comparable to values obtained for Q in near-surface swimbladder resonance experiments [15, 33, 36-38]. Q,,, decreases with increasing w,a and, depending upon the value of &/a, may be significant for all w,a considered. Figure 4 shows Q,, as a function of w,a, a, s/a, and depth D. Any individual numbered curve indicates that Q,, increases gradually with increasing s/a. The set of numbered curves indicates that Q,, increases with increasing a and D. The lettered curves are for the case where the effect of surface tension is insignificant, and also indicate that Q,, increases with increasing a and D. A comparison of figures 3 and 4 shows that Q,, is significant only at depths above 100 m and then only if €/a < 10° poise/cm.

Comparison to Free Bubble The validity of the results developed for the new model must be determined. This will be done by first checking that the equations developed for the new model approach the equations for a free bubble in water as a limiting case and then comparing values calculated using the new model with experimental values. The equations obtained in Chapter III for the resonant frequency and scattering cross section of the new model can be readily compared to the equations given for a free bubble. Equations I-6 and |-7 give w, and o for an ideal bubble, neglecting surface tension. Equation II|-26 reduces exactly to equation I-6 when & = s = O. If thermal losses are also neglected, equation III-33 reduces to equation I-7 when € = s = 0, except for factors of (P,/Po,). If surface tension is included, w, for an ideal bubble is given by equation I-12 with 1);,, = 0. Equation Ill-26 reduces exactly to equation I-12 when & = n,,, = 0. Thus, when viscous and thermal dissipation effects are eliminated from the new model, the results are equivalent to results obtained for an ideal bubble. When the viscosity of water is considered for an air bubble in water, w, is given by equation I-12. A comparison of equation II|-26 with I-12 shows that the form of the viscosity factor for the new model differs from that given for a bubble. However, as was noted earlier, equation |-12 is only valid for small viscosities, so that this difference is not surprising [25]. Both equations I-12 and III-26 indicate that w) decreases as the viscosity increases, which should be the case for a viscously damped system [51]. 25 102 ° Qvis, €/a =10 2 102 Q 5 & Qvis, €/a = 102 o Eg 2 & 10 5 Qvis ’ &/a = 105 2 . . €/a in poise/cm 2 5 104 2 ) Wad - cm/sec 10° 10° FIGURE 3.

THERMAL DAMPING FACTORS FOR THE NEW MODEL OF A SWIMBLADDER- BEARING FISH 27 The damping in the new model can also be compared to that for a real bubble in water as determined by Devin [19]. For ease in comparison with Devin’s results, equations IV-4, IV-5, and IV-6 will be rewritten as: Poy oa OF eee IV-14 ‘ Po; Cw ( ) On = ae IV-15 vis Wo Po,? ( ) and B(Ve = 1) Ka \ 2s IV-16 Om = Wo”a (cones) (1 ? aura ) ; \ Equation IV-14 is equivalent to equation I-9, except for the factor (P,/>,). Devin has considered only the shear viscosity, so that equation Il-1 appears to indicate that equations IV-15 and I-10 differ by a factor of 24. However, nN, and n, are related to the dilatational viscosity ny, by [45] Mm = Ta + MN, - (IV-17) Therefore, if ny is neglected, equation II-1 indicates that § = 2n,. Hence, equations IV-15 and I-10 are equivalent. Equations IV-16 and I-11 are also equivalent, except for the surface tension factor in equation IV-16. Devin considered surface tension, but since the surface tension of an air bubble in water is only 74 dynes/cm, its effect is insignificant for the frequencies and bubble sizes of present interest. Hence, the form of the damping factor at resonance for the new model is essentially equivalent to that of a real bubble in water. Comparison to Experimental Data The previous comparisons compared the spherical model to spherical bubbles. In order to compare the model to experimental measurements made on swimbladder-bearing fish, it is obvious from figure 1 that the effect of swimbladder shape should be included. This is done by letting Wo, = GW (IV-18) where W,, is the theoretical resonant frequency for the spherical model, ¢ is given by equation I-25, and Wy, is the value which is utilized in the comparisons to the experimental data. There are five sets of experimental data to which calculations based on the new model can be compared. These are contained in references 15, 33, 36, 37, and 38. In each of these, the measured resonant frequency, W,,,, and the calculated Q are either given directly or can be obtained from a curve. The data in reference 36, which was collected a decade before any of the other data, have variations which require some interpretation to obtain a,, and Q. This required interpretation makes the w,,, and Q values obtained from reference 36 less reliable than those obtained from other sources. Comparisons of the data to the model require that values for a and € be known. In some cases, a and € were measured and the values given. In the other cases, it was possible to determine a indirectiy from other data in the report. When values of € were not given, average values were obtained from other sources. Measurements of a and € were all made at atmospheric pressure. There is some question as to what effect increasing depth has on swimbladder volume [e.g. 11, 12]; that is, whether the fish retains a constant swimbladder volume or a constant swimbladder mass (Boyle’s Law) or some other, intermediate process. (McCartney and Stubbs [87] assumed an intermediate process, due to the effect of tension in the swimbladder wall.) It is probable that different species react to changing depth in different ways and that different experimental methods can affect the way a fish would normally react. Hence, there are uncertainties in the actual values of a at depth. Since the swimbladder is attached to various other parts of the fish, there is no reason to expect a change in swimbladder volume to cause a uniform change in its linear dimensions. Thus, the uncertainty in a at depth produces a smaller uncertainty in €. Various depth variations in a were examined when comparing the data to the model. However, since the individual researcher is in the best position to interpret his own data, the final comparisons utilized the depth variations chosen by those researchers. The new model requires values of & and s. Since the exact value, or range of values, of & is presently unknown and s is quite likely under the control of the individual fish, direct comparisons of the model and 28 experimental data are not possible. However, indirect comparisons are possible. The first step in a comparison is to determine the experimental values of w,,, Q, a, and €. Then W,, is set equal to wW,,, and s calculated utilizing equations IV-1 and IV-18 and figure 1. If surface tension has a negligible effect on w,,, can be assumed to be equal to 10* dyne/cm, based on the data given in Appendix A. Q,,, and Q,, are then calculated from equations IV-4 and IV-6 and Q,,, is determined from the equation: 1 1 1 1 Q 4 Qraa i Qvis bi @iy f (IV-19) Finally, § is calculated from equation IV-5. The results of this procedure are given in Table II, where L is the fish length, D, a, @,,,, and Q are experimental data, and s and & are calculated by equating the model to the data. The new model can be indirectly compared to the experimental data by examining the values of s and & given in Table li. The values shown in Table I! are within the limits chosen in Appendix A to give reasonable ranges for s and €. This is a necessary condition for the model to be valid, but it is by no means a sufficient condition. In order that the model can be used with some degree of confidence to predict resonant scattering from swimbladder-bearing fish, the variations in s and & shown in Table II must also be explained. The five sets of data can be separated into two groups, based upon the magnitude of tension in the swimbladder wall. Swimbladder tension had little or no effect on the measurements made by Coate, Batzler and Pickwell, and Sundnes and Sand, where s < 10° dyne/cm. Swimbladder tension appears to have had a significant effect on the measurements by McCartney and stubbs and Sand and Hawkins, where 2 x 10° dyne/cm < s < 4 x 10° dyne/cm.

Hence, based on consideration of equation II-115, it is to be expected that the tension in physostome swimbladders would be relatively low. The data show that this is so. The other fish are physoclists, that is, their swimbladders are completely closed. These fish may well obtain some benefit, either hydrostatic or otherwise, by maintaining a tension in the swimbladder wall. The data indicate that cod, ling, pollack, and coalfish maintained relatively high values of s. Physiologically, it should be possible for a physoclist to vary the tension in the swimbladder wall from very taut to flaccid. It appears that the crappie swimbladder was in a flaccid condition. Since physoclists probably can vary the tension in their swimbladders, any shock to their systems, such as a rapid increase in pressure, might cause the swimbladder tension to change dramatically. This seems to be the situation for the cod examined by Sand and Hawkins. This fish had been allowed to become adapted to a depth of 11 m for at least 48 hours. At this depth, its measured resonant frequency was several times higher than that of a bubble of the same presumed size and shape. This difference was attributed to a high swimbladder tension. Rapidly shifting this fish to a depth of 25 m significantly decreased the measured resonant frequency to a value only about 10 percent greater than that expected for a bubble of the same presumed size and shape. This ratio remained essentially constant as the fish was shifted in 5 m increments to 50 m. The decrease in w,,, as the fish was shifted from 11 m to 25 m is readily explained by the new model by a sudden decrease in s, which seems quite feasible from a physiological standpoint. Thus, the variations in the values of s calculated using the new model can be explained by the differences between physostomes and physoclists and by the ability of physoclists to vary swimbladder tension. Hence, the new model is an improvement over the models of Andreeva and Lebedeva. By using a variable swimbladder tension, rather than a fixed shear modulus, to model tissue stiffness, the new model can predict resonant frequencies significantly higher than those expected for a free bubble, whereas the other models cannot. As a practical matter, a parameter that can be randomly varied over several orders of magnitude is not very useful in a predictive model. However, the variations in tension indicated in Table II were obtained from fish which were subjected to other than natural conditions, such as rapid changes in depth. It is quite possible that, under more natural conditions, values of swimbladder tension would be much more uniform. Thus, it could very well be that further experiments, in which the experimental conditions more closely approximate natural conditions, could provide much information about swimbladder tension. This would enhance the value of the new model as a predictor of resonance in large physoclists. Although the variations in s can be adequately explained by variations in fish physiology, the uncertain variation of a with depth definitely causes some degree of variation ins. In order to calculate s, the difference between w,,,and W, for a bubble of the same assumed size and shape is required. Thus, the accuracy of the estimate of a greatly affects the accuracy of the calculated value of s. Sundnes and Sand measured the resonant frequencies of charr in order to determine their swimbladder volumes. In the case of these physostomes, this was a valid procedure. However, in the case of large physoclists, where swimbladder tension affects w,,,, this procedure would be invalid. Hence, experiments which might be designated to acoustically examine swimbladder tension require an accurate and independent measurement of swimbladder volume at depth. The values of € given in Table II are also grouped on the basis of the magnitude of swimbladder tension. For the cases where s < 105 dyne/cm, the values of — range from 130 to 300 poise, with the values being quite consistent for a particular set of data. For the cases where s > 2 x 105 dyne/cm, the values of E range from 370 to 2,600 poise, with wide variations within a particular set of data. Based on the consistent results obtained, and the reasonableness of their values, it appears that the new model can be used to predict the damping for the first group. However, the high values and variability of § in the second group must be examined more closely before any conclusion can be reached. 30 There are essentially two sources of the variations in the calculated values of € between the two groups and within the group where s> 2 x 10° dyne/cm. One source is the experimental data and the other is the model. The most likely, and probably greatest, source of error in the experimental data is the uncertainty in swimbladder volume. Since the calculated values of & are proportional to a2, an error in a can cause a large error in —. However, as mentioned earlier, the experimental data were examined assuming various swimbladder volume-depth relationships. None of these relationships produced consistent results or values as low as those obtained for the first group, although in some cases the variability was reduced. For example, if aconstant a=0.69 cm is assumed for the cod examined by Sand and Hawkins, & varies from 1,500 to 900 poise as the depth increases from 25 to 50 m. This variation is smaller than that for the swimbladder-depth relationship which was utilized, but the values are still much higher than those of the first group and are by no means consistent. It is possible, though, that the cod-like fish, which have a well-developed muscle system, have an intrinsically higher tissue viscosity than fish such as goldfish or anchovies. At the beginning of this chapter, it was assumed that — < 2 x 10° poise and the equations were simplified accordingly. It might be suspected that this could be a source of error in the cases where & > 2 x 10% poise. However, the error caused by simplifying equations IIl-26 and III-34 to equations IV-1 and IV-2 is less than ten percent for values as high as & = 6 x 10° poise. Thus, the simplified equations are not a significant source of error. The other primary source of error is the model itself. Since it does not seem to be possible to attribute all the variations in & to the errors in the data, it appears that the remaining variations are due to inadequacies in the model. An examination of all the data in Table II indicates that € generally increases with s. There is no indication that this is so for the group of data for which s < 10°dyne/cm. However, there is definite correlation between s and &— when the two groups of data are compared. Also, despite the wide variations of € within the group of data for which s > 2 x 10° dyne/cm, there is a rough indication that € increases with s for this group of data. Thus, it appears that increasing tension in the swimbladder wall has little or no effect on & for s < 10° dyne/cm, but that it does cause E to increase for s > 2 x 10° dyne/cm. The apparent increase in viscosity with increasing tension in the swimbladder wall for s > 2 x 105dyne/cm would not be expected to occur in a Newtonian fluid. This indicates that modelling a fish as a Newtonian fluid may not be appropriate for s > 2 x 10° dyne/cm and that some type of non-Newtonian model, such as a dilatant or viscoelastic fluid, may be more appropriate. However, the present model is appropriate for s <10° dyne/cm. 31 32 CHAPTER V CONCLUSIONS The new model of a swimbladder-bearing fish as a viscous shell enclosing an air cavity with surface tension at the inner interface was developed because older models, of which Andreeva’s model [26] is mosi widely employed, do not accurately predict the results obtained in experiments on the characteristics of swimbladder resonance. The principal difference between the older models and the data is that the values of Q predicted by the models are always higher than those obtained experimentally. A second difference is that the older models can not account for the high resonant frequencies obtained for some large physoclisits. The new model sought to correct these differences by explicitly including the viscosity of fish tissue and by including a tension in the swimbladder wall. For convenience, the equations developed for the new model will be restated here: 3YaPo 2s W 2a2 = —=— + SV ata) es 4 0 Da, Da (3y ) (V-1) 2 4nae(5) Pe eM NO TS (V-2) Wo? ( Wo? 2 ei (e+) | weH2 w?

The equations for o and Q obtained for the new model are essentially the same as those for an air bubble in water, the only significant difference being in the value of the viscosities of fish flesh and water. However, the equations for Wp for the new model and an air bubble in water for which viscosity and surface tension are included are not the same. If the viscosity of fish flesh were used in the equation obtained for an air bubble, w, could be zero or imaginary. However, for the new model, the effect of viscosity on w, was shown to be small enough to be neglected. Equations V-1 and V-2 are valid for an upper limit for § = 6 x 10° poise. If € > 6 x 10° poise, then the outer shell radius, b, appears in the o-equation. This implies that this is a boundary layer-type problem. Thus, if the fish flesh-water interface is outside the boundary layer, the magnitude of b is immaterial. All of the models are spherical in nature. However, the swimbladders of some fish are sufficiently elongated that their shapes can have a significant effect on w). Thus, equation V-1 should be modified to include this effect. Hence: and Wo2a2 = C[—*2 ow + = (3y, — 1) | : (V-6) f Although G was determined for a bubble in water, its use here is quite reasonable, especially when the similarity between the equations for a bubble and the new model are considered. Several other conclusions can be reached for the new model. One is that, for the ratios of outside to inside shell diameters considered, the actual value of the outside diameter has no effect on the results. Another is that thermal losses are not very significant and, in most cases, can be neglected. A third is that, for low values of H, (W./wH)? can be comparable to [(w,2/w?) — 1]? at off-resonant frequencies. Hence, considering the experimental values of Q obtained, it is apparent that H, rather than Q, should be used to calculate o. A comparison of the new model with available experimental data indicates that the new model constitutes a definite improvement over previous models. The new model can predict low values of Q and elevated values of wy which the previous models could not. In addition, the new model can be used to obtain the magnitude of damping at any frequency, whereas many previous models only produced the value at resonance. 33 The comparison of the new model with experimental data indicates that the model is most accurate for fish in which s < 105 dyne/cm. Table II indicates that this includes physostomes up to at least 40 cm in length. In addition, Appendix A indicates that small physoclists, 10 cm or less in length, are also included in this group. Most of the fish found in deep scattering layers are smaller than 10 cm and none have the well developed musculature of fish such as cod. Thus, it appears that the new model will be of considerable value in studies of volume reverberation. Table II indicates that a value of & of approximately 200 poise is appropriate for these studies. The variations in s and & required to match the values calculated using the new model to the experimental data for large physoclists indicate that the new model is not completely adequate for these fish. Even so, the new model is still better than previous models and, as such, is of some value in studies of resonance of large physoclists. Table II indicates that values of s = 10° dyne/cm and 10 poise < — $2 10 poise should give reasonable results for these studies. The new model introduces two new parameters, & and s. Few measurements of these parameters exist and those that do vary widely. The accuracy of the new model could be determined with much more confidence if better information on & and s were available. In addition, the variations of swimbladder volume with depth for different fish species are required for all models. Hence, further experiments to determine s. €, and swimbladder size and shape versus depth are recommended. This recommendation is made with the realization that the complexities involved in these experiments will be significant. 34 25. 26. REFERENCES C.F. Eyring, R.J. Christensen, and R.W.

In this appendix, the available data will be discussed and, where necessary, appropriate approximations determined. Properties which must be specified include compressional wave velocity (or sound velocity), c,; density, Qo,; specific heat at constant pressure, c,,; ratio of specific heats, y;; thermal conductivity, K; shear viscosity, ne: and bulk viscosity, Ne In addition, the ratio of swimbladder volume to total fish volume and the surface tension, s, at the air-fish flesh interface must be determined. Experimental evidence indicates that swimbladder volumes of small mid-water fishes range from about 0.5 to 5 percent of the total fish volume [32]. For larger, near surface marine fishes, swimbladder volumes are about 4 to 5 percent of the total fish volume [A1]. For small fish, the ratio of outer radius, b, to inner radius, a, of the fish flesh shell is chosen to be 2.5 Sb/a $6, which corresponds to swimbladder percentage volumes of about 6 to 0.5 percent. For large fish, b/a is chosen to be 2.5 10, so that, cosh(xa) % sinh(xa) 2 = (B-6) and sin(k,,a) = i cos(k,,a) . (B-7) Thus, Hes) =e Ee) and ie ae any 1 Jo'(Ki,8) = —Jo(K:.8) ft ea | (B-9) One of the assumptions in the model is that the shell is small compared to the wavelength of the incident compressional wave. This means that k,,,b, k,,b, and k,,a are small. The definition of “small” will now be determined by examining the expansions for spherical functions of small argument: jo(z) = (1-2+....), Bio jo'(2) = -2 (0-34...) a jo"(2) = — (1 -e.. ) (B-12) no(z) = -2(1 -3 4... ) (B-13) no'(2) =se (1+ -....), coe noi(z)= — 2 (1 to), Bee 41 hoz) = (1-2+...)-£(1-3+... i (B-16) ho'(2) = -> (1-24... js5(1+3-... ). (B-17) ” 1 322 2i z4 het(z)=-4 (1-324...) -8 (+2-... ). (B-18) In order to limit errors in these functions to under ten percent, it must be assumed that eae nen (B-19) Oa Ona (B-20) and Keseae 6 10e! (B-21) This implies that in fish flesh and water wb < 7 x 104 cm/sec (B-22) and in air wa < 2.4 x 104 cm/sec . (B-23) Then with these limitations and the acceptance of at most a ten percent error, equations B-10 through B-18 can be written as: ete (B-24) jo'(2) = -, (B-25) Jo (Z) = -4, (B-26) no(z) = -—>, (B-27) no'(z) = > . (B-28) no"(z) = -£ (B-29) ho(z) = 1 -+, (B-30) ho'(z) = -Z+4 . (B-31) ho"(Z) = _ -4 (B-32) It is necessary to keep both the largest real and largest imaginary term in the spherical Hankel function expansions, regardless of their comparative magnitudes. Equations B-24 through B-32 will now be utilized to simplify equations IIl-2 through III-15. In addition, equations II-59, II-60, II-68, and II-69, will be substituted for k,., kz,, k.,, and k,,,. These substitutions yield, after neglecting any term which causes an error of less than ten percent, the following expressions for the S,'s: F , S., w2b ick Bpo,Gu?

In each step, the order of magnitude of the various terms will be compared and terms which cause an error of less than ten percent will be neglected. This procedure will be done in such a way that no term is neglected which could become important due to a later subtraction. It should be mentioned that most of the terms which are neglected result in errors of much less than ten percent and in those cases where the errors approach ten percent, that error is approached only at the limiting values of the terms involved. In order that the simplification process can be checked by the interested reader, the results of each step will be given, rather than just the final result. The next step is to simplify the terms in the parentheses in equations IIl-17 and III-18.

This, however, can lead to errors when the subtractions indicated for Y and Z are made. Hence, the next step is to simplify Y and (Y-Z). Before writing the simplified expressions for Y and (Y-Z), several intermediate steps will be given in order to assist the interested reader in checking the final expressions. 44 Substitution of equations B-43, B-46, B-51, and B-52 into III-17 yields: C; 2s 2sc,(Y,— 1) = — (—+_) (1 - ———— )+ " ( p,008?)

ABSTRACT (Continue on reverse side if necessary and identify by block number) The primary ‘cause of oceanic volume reverberation is resonant scattering by the swimbladders of small fish. A new model of a swimbladder-bearing fish has | been developed in order to provide improved predictions of the resonant frequency and acoustic cross section of such a fish. Development of a new model was undertaken because comparisons of the predictions of previous models with experimental data show these models to be inadequate. Primarily, the | experimental data indicate that damping in fish tissue is consistently greater | DD , tee 1473 EDITION OF 1 NOV 65 IS OBSOLETE UNCLASSIFIED S/N 0102-014- 6601 | — SECURITY CLASSIFICATION OF THIS PAGE (When Data Entered) UNCLASSIFIED LECURITY CLASSIFICATION OF THIS PAGE(When Data Entered) 20. than that predicted by previous models. In addition, in several instances, resonant frequencies have been measured which are significantly higher than can be accounted for by these models. The new model consists of a small, spherical shell, enclosing an air cavity, in water. The shell is a viscous, heat-conducting Newtonian fluid, with the physical properties of fish flesh. The interface between the shell and the cavity supports a surface tension. The shell is insonified by a harmonic plane compressional wave, whose wave-length is large compared to the shell diameter. The solution to the problem consists of obtaining the amplitude of the scattered compressional wave. This was accomplished by first determining the appropriate wave equations from the linearized equations of motion. Eigenfuction solutions to these equations were then obtained. However, theoretical evidence indicates that only the fundamental mode is an important contributor to volume reverberation, so that higher modes were neglected. Application of the boundary conditions then led to the required solution for the amplitude of the scattered compressional wave. Due to the complexity of this solution, order of magnitude analyses of the various terms were con- ducted in order to obtain a simplified expression. Equations for both the resonant frequency and acoustic cross section were then determined from this simplified expression. A comparison of the results of the new model with experimental data indicates that the new model constitutes a definite improvement over previous models. The new model can predict the high values of damping and elevated resonant frequencies that previous models could not. The comparison indicates that the model is most accurate for fish in which tension in the swimbladder wall has a minor effect on resonant scattering. This includes the fish which are of interest in studies of volume reverberation and therefore, the new model will be of considerable value in such studies. a SECURITY CLASSIFICATION OF THIS PAGE(When Data Entered) oc ay ie HDs : ' ° h ' «| e 7 , { 7 7 a a 1 re i ‘ che —_ zt) , 5 : a 1 & . i ® 4. os 2 1 ' 5 - _ ey = &
