Method:
Modelling parts: wave propagation with the air bubble curtain
Description: The noise reduction prediction model for offshore pile driving with the use of an air bubble curtain is based on a complete and computationally efficient modeling approach. In this model, a two-step approach is used to predict the noise reduction by an air bubble curtain. The complete model consists of two submodels; the noise prediction model for non-mitigated field from pile driving, which includes two modules, the sound generation module in the vicinity of the pile, the sound propagation module to propagate the radiated wavefield at a larger distance, and the noise reduction model capturing the transmission characteristic of an air bubble curtain.
Configuration of the model is described in the following figures.
