Wave Propagation in Random Waveguides with Long-Range Correlations
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we consider an acoustic waveguide with random fluctuations of its sound speed profile. These random perturbations are assumed to have long-range correlation properties. In waveguides a monochromatic wave can be decomposed in propagating modes and evanescent modes, and the random perturbation couples all these modes. Using asymptotic analysis of the modecoupling mechanism we give a description of the effects that the random fluctuations with long-rang statistical properties have on the pulse propagation.

Source Localization in Random Acoustic Waveguides
Mode coupling due to scattering by weak random inhomogeneities in waveguides leads to loss of coherence of wave fields at long distances of propagation. This in turn leads to serious deterioration of coherent source localization methods, such as matched field. We study with analysis and numerical simulations how such deterioration occurs and introduce a novel incoherent approach for long range ...
متن کاملParaxial Coupling of Propagating Modes in Three-Dimensional Waveguides with Random Boundaries
We analyze long range wave propagation in three-dimensional random waveguides. The waves are trapped by top and bottom boundaries, but the medium is unbounded in the two remaining directions. We consider scalar waves, and motivated by applications in underwater acoustics, we take a pressure release boundary condition at the top surface and a rigid bottom boundary. The wave speed in the waveguid...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Wave Propagation in Random Waveguides
Abstract. We study long range propagation of electromagnetic waves in random waveguides with rectangular cross-section and perfectly conducting boundaries. The waveguide is filled with an isotropic linear dielectric material, with randomly fluctuating electric permittivity. The fluctuations are weak, but they cause significant cumulative scattering over long distances of propagation of the wave...
متن کاملFractional White-Noise Limit and Paraxial Approximation for Waves in Random Media
This work is devoted to the asymptotic analysis of high frequency wave propagation in random media with long-range dependence. We are interested in two asymptotic regimes, that we investigate simultaneously: the paraxial approximation, where the wave is collimated and propagates along a privileged direction of propagation, and the white-noise limit, where random uctuations in the background are...
متن کاملFlexural Wave Propagation in Slowly Varying Random Waveguides Using a Finite Element Approach
This work investigates structural wave propagation in waveguides with randomly varying properties along the axis of propagation, specifically when the properties vary slowly enough such that there is negligible backscattering. Wave-based methods are typically applied to homogeneous waveguides but the WKB (after Wentzel, Kramers and Brillouin) approximation can be used to find a suitable general...
