Generic Toolbox for Underwater Acoustic Modelling (GT-Aqua) and performance analysis

This work describes the capability, design and performance of Generic Toolbox for Underwater Acoustic Modelling. GT-Aqua is a standalone software tool which analyses underwater acoustic propagation with the help of various propagation models. GT-Aqua provides generic source definition and allows user to define detailed underwater environment model. With ray tracing algorithms, system illustrates how the sound propagates from the source based on the 2D editor and calculate transmission loss. In addition, the model's performance analysis results are given in detail.
