Numerical predictions are presented of hydroacoustic scattering from a simplified model submarine composed of a hull and a sail only. The individual parts of the model submarine are parameterized by smooth maps of the unit sphere, obtained by fitting high-order B-spline expansions to CAD data on the shape of the surfaces of the parts. The submarine is placed in a ca 50 m deep water column overlying a layered fluid seabed. Transient pulses from a vertically directive source with frequencies in the range 0.5~kHz - 30~kHz are considered, with the source located at range 100~m at varying aspect angles. The scattered echoes are recorded by a vertical receiver array with center at the source. The target echoes are computed with fast approximative methods derived from acoustic ray theory and the Kirchhoff scattering approximation, respectively. The accuracy of these approximative techniques is assessed in the low frequency cases by comparisons with an accurate full-field solution computed with a high-order Boundary Integral Equation (BIE) method, based on discretization by B-spline expansion, point collocation and numerical integration in polar-like coordinates centered at the collocation point.Numerical predictions are presented of hydroacoustic scattering from a simplified model submarine composed of a hull and a sail only.
