title: Simulation model of sound backscattering in gas flares and evaluation of the potential accuracy of determining seep coordinates by split-beam echosounders
abstract: A simulation model of sound backscattering in gas flares is presented, designed to solve direct and inverse problems of acoustic sensing of flares using the simulation (computer) modeling method. The model is based on the concept of the discrete character of sound scattering in a gas plume, according to which the received echo signal is the sum of elementary signals, backward-scattered bubbles that form the flare. At the same time, the model of sound reverberation in a gas flare is considered as
