As a carrier for information and energy, acoustic waves have been applied in underwater communication widely, however, the narrow band and low transmission speed are the main problems. Whether in the field of optics or electromagnetic waves, the orbital angular momentum (OAM) represents the natural properties of the spiral phase structure. By introducing the OAM into the acoustics field, the transmission capacity and spectrum efficiency of the underwater acoustic communication system can be expanded. Based on the analysis and detection of the vortex acoustic wave generated by the circular array of transducers, we studied the array generation method of the spiral acoustic beam, and gave the characteristics of the vortex acoustic beam when propagating under the water. In the direction of the main axis, the uniform circular array was used to generate different topological acoustic vortex. To determine the relationship between the OAM topology mode and the transducer array, the spiral acoustic waves in different topology modes were generated, and the number of array elements, array radius, transmission frequency, etc. were investigated to give the effects on OAM acoustic vortex.
