Oases-Scatt: OASES Target Scattering Simulator

Scatt is an optional addition to Oases, providing the capability of simulating acoustic scattering from canonical and complex objects embedded in fluid-elastic waveguides.

Documentation

Documentation and Users Guide is available in the distribution:

> cd Scatt/Manual
> latex manual
> dvips -f manual > manual.ps

Installation

The installation requires the Oases base package to be installed. The installation of the scatt components is performed with a generic CMAKE script, build.sh, with the root directory for the binaries as an argument:

> cd Scatt
> ./build.sh ~/Oases

Here the binaries are placed in the Oases/bin directory.

Example: Benchmark Scattering Solutions

The following shows a comparison of OASES-Scatt to finite element solutions for scattering from targets buried completely or partially in the seabed. The OASES-Scatt solution is denoted VSC (Virtual Source Concept).
