Acoustical Methods to Detect the Air Curtain of Black Smokers

Article Preview

Abstract:

To detect black smokers is the hot topic nowadays. The arounding mineral resources is the human wealth, which has extensive researchful significance. The submarine volcanic eruptions can cause thermal plume and the air curtain group. This paper study the acoustic characteristics of the air bubble, and built the simulation model of air curtain group. With pool for experimental platform, we make the formation process of the air curtain, and experiment with acoustic method to detect air curtain. After processing the data, analyze its fluctuation rate to judge the existence of air curtain. To verify feasibility of this method.
