The energy density of high frequency waves propagating in highly oscillatory random media is well approximated by solutions of deterministic kinetic models. The scintillation function determines the statistical instability of the kinetic solution. This paper analyzes the single scattering term in the scintillation function. This is the term of the scintillation function that is linear in the power spectrum of the random fluctuations. We show that the structure of the scintillation function is…

Analysis of the Double Scattering Scintillation of Waves in Random Media
High frequency waves propagating in highly oscillatory media are often modeled by radiative transfer equations that describes the propagation of the energy density of the waves. When the medium is…
IMAGING USING TRANSPORT MODELS FOR WAVE–WAVE CORRELATIONS
We consider the imaging of objects buried in unknown heterogeneous media. The medium is probed by using classical (e.g. acoustic or electromagnetic) waves. When heterogeneities in the medium become…

TLDR
It is shown that wave energy is not stable, and instead scintillation is created by the wave dynamics, when the initial energy distribution is sufficiently singular.

Self-Averaging from Lateral Diversity in the Itô-Schrödinger Equation
TLDR
The Wigner transform of the wave field is used and it is shown that it becomes deterministic in the large diversity limit when integrated against test functions and also shows that the limit is deterministic when the support of the test functions tends to zero but is large compared to the correlation length.
