PE approximations for scattering from a rough surface / D.J. Thomson, G.H. Brooke & E.S. Holmes.DR52-11/27-1995E-PDF

"Two methods are presented for incorporating the effects of rough boundaries into propagation models based on the parabolic equation (PE) approximation. In particular, the acoustic scattering by a deterministically-rough, pressure-release surface is considered. In the first method, the vertical extent of the computational cell adjacent to the rough boundary is allowed to vary with range. This non-standard grid approach can readily be incorporated into existing finite-difference PE codes. In the second method, a low-impedance air-layer backing is appended to the rough surface and the original rough-surface scattering problem is replaced by one involving scattering from an internal, water/air interface. In this case, both finite-difference and split-step marching algorithms can be accommodated. Numerical results for the forward-scattered component of the field are provided for two benchmark problems"--Abstract (page 1).
