Underwater Noise Radiated by Fishing Vessels in Visakhapatnam Fishing Harbor
Abstract: The sound has always been a better measure to understand the oceans. Among the various sources of underwater noise, mainly physical, biological and anthropogenic, it is seen that through the increase in anthropogenic noise in the oceans, the ambient noise levels are rising. Fishing vessel radiated noise has been a major concern in the fisheries acoustic scientific community due to the possible effects on altering the natural activities of the …

Assessing Underwater Noise Levels during Various Port Activities at the Visakhapatnam Channel
Abstract: Transport infrastructure is one of the most important factors for country’s progress or economic growth. Ports serve as important transportation hubs that facilitate goods movement. Visakhapatnam Port is the second largest port by volume of cargo handled located in the east coast of India. Under the modernization program the port is capable for handling vessels upto 14.5 mby maintenance dredging and some jettiesextension with piling activity. The major activities of …

From Baseline Survey to Management Plan: A Systematic Framework for Port-Specific Mitigation of Underwater Radiated Noise
Abstract: The growing recognition of underwater radiated noise (URN) as a significant marine pollutant necessitates the development of actionable management frameworks at the port level, where noise sources are concentrated, and impacts can be particularly acute. While international guidelines exist, a standardized methodology for ports to transition from assessment to implementation is lacking, particularly in regions with high biodiversity and developing maritime infrastructure. This paper presents and demonstrates a systematic, four-phase …

Critical Review on Design, Fabrication and Analysis of Marine Propeller
Abstract: Ships and automated underwater vehicles like submarine and torpedoes use propeller for propulsion. The significance of propellers is to develop thrust to propel the vehicle at its operational speed. The propeller geometry and design is complicated involving many controlling parameters. Propeller with canonical isotropic materials creates more vibration and noise during their operation which is undesirable in stealth point of view. The present work is aimed at the static and …

Accuracy Improvement for Propeller Cavitation Noise Prediction Using UDF
Abstract: Recently, there has been an increase in demand for propulsion systems with higher hydrodynamic performance and lower underwater-radiated noise, as environmental issues are gaining more attention in addition to the traditional military necessity. It is important to reduce cavitation noise when designing propellers of the ships, especially for oceanographic research vessels because they use acoustic instruments and cavitation noise can interfere with their operation. It is well known that, when …

Environmental Impact Assessment of Ocean Energy Converters Using Quantum Machine Learning
Abstract: The accelerating deployment of ocean energy converters (OECs) across tidal, wave, osmotic, and thermal domains necessitates rigorous, data-intensive environmental impact assessment (EIA) frameworks capable of modelling multi-stressor marine ecosystems in real time. Classical machine learning approaches, while operationally mature, encounter scalability bottlenecks and feature correlation limitations when applied to the high-dimensional, non-linear datasets characteristic of offshore monitoring networks. This paper presents a comprehensive quantum machine learning (QML) framework for the …

Optimized Receivers for Underwater Visible Light Communication
Abstract: For uses like ocean exploration, environmental monitoring, and underwater data transfer, wireless communication under water is crucial. Conventional acoustic and radio frequency communication methods suffer from low bandwidth, high latency, and severe signal attenuation in underwater environments. With its high data rate and low propagation delay, Visible Light Communication (VLC) provides a promising alternative. In this work, an underwater VLC system is implemented using Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) with intensity …

OFDM Receiver Design Based on Adaptive Modulation and Channel Estimation for Underwater Acoustic Communication
Abstract: Submerged or under water acoustic communication (UWAC) is an intriguing area in communication research where we can expect to get a high information rate, a high throughput and a low latency which frequently is an exceptionally difficult assignment. In this work, we outline an OFDM receiver system that is reasonable for submerged acoustic communication in view of adaptive modulation and Kalman filter based channel estimation. We have concentrated on the …

Multi-Sensor System for Underwater Pothole Detection to Enhance Road Safety During Monsoon Seasons
Abstract: Monsoon seasons across India and similar tropical regions severely compromise road safety by causing water accumulation that conceals dangerous potholes beneath stagnant pools, leading to frequent vehicle damage, tire punctures, and fatal accidents. Traditional detection methods relying on smartphone accelerometers, ultrasonic sensors, or machine vision fail under flooded conditions due to acoustic signal reflection at water surfaces and optical distortions from glare and turbidity. This research proposes an innovative multi-sensor …
