Article Synopsis
- Acoustic inversion is a challenging technique used to determine the physical properties of seafloor sediments, which are complex due to their porous nature.
- A new method utilizing an adaptive predatory genetic algorithm and Biot theory's effective density fluid model is proposed to improve this inversion process, focusing on minimizing the difference between predicted and measured wave numbers.
- This method has been validated with simulated data and successfully applied to evaluate the sediment properties like porosity, tortuosity, and permeability in Hangzhou Bay, China, using in situ acoustic measurements.
