Influence of the seabed conditions on the near-and far-field propagation of noise in impact piling

The prediction of underwater noise and the assessment of the influencing factors on noise transmission are significant for the control and mitigation of the noise generated by offshore pile driving. This paper presents a coupled two-step approach for modelling the underwater noise from offshore pile driving, with the focus being placed on...

A coupled modelling approach for the fast computation of underwater noise radiation from offshore pile driving

This paper presents a computationally efficient modelling approach for the prediction of underwater noise radiation from offshore pile driving. A near-source module is adopted to capture the interaction between the pile, fluid and soil, which is based on a previously developed semi-analytical vibro-acoustic model. This module primarily aims...
