By means of the Kedem-Katchalsky thermodynamic description of active transport, a relationship has been derived between the apparent reflection coefficient and the Staverman reflection coefficient for passive transport of a solute which is both actively and passively transported. The relationship between volumetric flow and its driving forces, containing the Staverman reflection coefficient, wa...

This paper describes an analysis of reflection and transmission of acoustic waves from an imperfectly reflecting, rough fluid–fluid interface within the Kirchhoff approximation. It presents the results of calculations of the coherent and diffuse field. This work is motivated by the fact that few explicit results of the characteristics of the scattered and transmitted wave field exist in the lit...

Normal reflection from a fractured reservoir is analyzed using frequency-dependent seismic attributes. Processing of 3D low-frequency seismic data from a West-Siberian reservoir produced an accurate delineation of the fractured hydrocarbon-bearing zones. P-wave propagation, reflection and transmission at an impermeable interface between elastic and dual-porosity poroelastic media is investigate...

The properties of the functions f and M are well known (see, e.g., [1]). The function R = −MM , defined for k ∈ R, |R| = 1, is called the reflection coefficient. If v(x) = p( x), where > 0 is a small parameter, then all these objects become functions of , and we may ask about the asymptotic behavior as → 0 of, say, the solution f , via which M , R, and ψ can be expressed. Such asymptotics is sa...

The Schrödinger equation is considered on the line when the potential is real valued, compactly supported, and square integrable. The nonuniqueness is analyzed in the recovery of such a potential from the data consisting of the ratio of a corresponding reflection coefficient to the transmission coefficient. It is shown that there are a discrete number of potentials corresponding to the data and...

A differential equation of a Riccati type for the diffuse reflection coefficient of a stratified sea is proposed. For a homogeneous sea with arbitrary inherent optical properties this equation is solved analytically. For an inhomogeneous sea it is solved approximately for any arbitrary stratification. The resulting equation expresses the diffuse reflection coefficient of the sea through vertica...

This paper presents a novel model-based method for in-situ estimation of sound reflection coefficients in acoustic enclosures. The method uses a modeling engine for simulation of acoustic propagation and generation of the spatial pseudospectrum using a beamforming technique. The simulated pseudospectrum is matched with the measured pseudospectrum acquired by a real beamforming microphone array ...
