The three-dimensional wedge-shaped underwater acoustic propagation model exists analytical solution, which provides verification for models like FOR3D propagation model under certain situation. However, the solving process of a three-dimensional complex underwater sound field problem is hindered by intensive computing and long calculation times. In this paper, we exploit a hybrid parallel programing model, such as MPI and OpenMP, to accelerate the computation, design various optimization methods to improve the overall performance, and then carry out the performance and optimization analysis on the Tianhe-2 platform. Experiments show that the optimized implementation of the three-dimensional wedge-shaped underwater acoustic propagation model achieves a 46.5 speedup compared to the original serial program, thereby illustrating a substantial performance improvement. We also carried out scalability tests and parallel optimization experiments for large-scale practical examples.
