A highly specialized scientific and technical reference, Physics of Sound in the Sea: Part IV Acoustic Properties of Wakes presents a rigorous examination of the acoustic behavior of ship and submarine wakes in underwater environments. Compiled as part of a landmark wartime research effort coordinated by the National Defense Research Committee during World War II, this volume details the physical mechanisms by which wakes scatter, absorb, and reflect sound, drawing on extensive experimental data and theoretical analysis. The work instructs researchers and naval engineers on the complex interplay between bubble distributions, turbulence, and acoustic propagation that defines wake signatures. Written with the precision and authority of expert physicists and acousticians, the text argues for systematic, empirical approaches to understanding underwater sound phenomena critical to sonar detection and anti-submarine warfare. A foundational document in the field of underwater acoustics, it remains an essential reference for scientists and historians of naval technology alike.
