SCATTERING IN A SHALLOW OCEAN WITH AN ELASTIC SEABED

In this paper the boundary integral equation method is used to solve a scattering problem in a shallow ocean with an elastic seabed. The Han kel transformation and Mittag-Leffler decomposition were used to const ruct the propagating solution for both far-field and near-field. In pa rticular, necessary and sufficient conditions are found for the existe nce of the propagating solution. Using the propagating solution, the s cattering problem is recast as a boundary integral equation. A numeric al algorithm is developed for solving this boundary integral equation and its implementation on a T3D parallel computer is used to compute a n illustrative example.
