Acoustic wave propagation in a fluid with a random assortment of identical cylindrical scatterers is considered. While the leading order correction to the effective wavenumber of the coherent wave is well established at dilute areal density…
Dynamic modulation of material properties in space and time enables powerful control over wave propagation, yet existing theories largely rely on idealized, nondispersive models. In realistic media, frequency dispersion can strongly reshape…
