Volume scattering in a shallow channel Available to Purchase

Using a generalization of the modal coherence equations previously developed by Sutton and McCoy [J. Math. Phys. 18, 1052 (1977)], the effect of volume scattering in a shallow channel is treated. The difference between the range behavior of the cross‐modal coherence functions and the previously studied self‐modal coherence functions is shown. In particular, calculations are made to evaluate the characteristic scales that govern the range decay of the cross‐modal coherence functions. A particular example is given to illustrate the effect of the choice of different parameters.
