Acoustic Localization of an Intruder in a Strongly Scattering Medium

Résumé

Localizing an intruder submerged in a strongly scattering medium, such as a dense granular suspension, is a practical challenge. Here we extract the coherent ultrasonic echo from a steel ball submerged in a dense glass-bead packing saturated by water, by using a standard single-element ultrasonic transducer thanks to a configuration averaging process. Different configurations of the granular packing are created by the nonaffine motion of the beads with a mixing blade, akin to the Brownian motion, in the vicinity of the intruder. We investigate the efficiency of this process to reduce the so-called material noise from multiply scattered ultrasound, as a function of the configuration number, the shear rate and the blade-intruder distance. Nonaffine motions of the beads in the shear zone induced by the blade are then analyzed on the basis of a split-bottom rotating shear cell. This method helps to develop not only ultrasonic imaging tools of buried objects in turbid marine sediments, but also the local rheology based on a ball falling monitored by ultrasonic tracking.
