Abstract

In underwater acoustic communication, there are problems of low transmission efficiency, severe loss, and inaccurate point-to-point transmission. To realize the efficient transmission of underwater acoustic communication based on finite element analysis, a metamaterial-based underwater acoustic channel model was designed using COMSOL Multiphysics 5.3 software, and its acoustic conduction mechanism was studied. It was found that the directional transmission of sound waves with low loss was achieved when the sound waves generated by the point sound source pass through the underwater acoustic channel. In addition, the periodic structure of local resonance was proposed to generate the multi-directional acoustic waves, which can control the acoustic wave transmission direction arbitrarily and improve the transmission efficiency of underwater acoustic communication. This indicates a new direction for long-distance and efficient transmission of underwater acoustic communication.
