COMPUTER SIMULATION OF A HYDROSTATIC SEAWATER DENSITY METER
Mathematical models and results of computer simulation of in situ the seawater density measurements by the using of hydrostatic meters are presented. The models are based on the basic hydrostatic equation and the Pascal equation following from it. These equations provide the necessary mathematical apparatus combining static pressures, density and depth. On this basis, a universal computer model has been developed that allows the study of hydrostatic seawater density meters based on two or three pressure sensors, as well as an improved seawater density meter with one differential pressure sensor and a three-axis accelerometer. To study the processes of measuring the density of seawater as a function of depth, a model of the vertical profile of the ocean environment has been developed.
