How do you take a reliable measurement of a material whose microstructure is random? When using wave scattering, the answer is often to take an ensemble average (average over time or space). By ensemble averaging we can calculate the…
Wave scattering is considered in a medium in which many small particles are embedded. Equations for the effective field in the medium are derived when the number of particles tends to infinity.
An integro-differential equation describing the angular distribution of beams is analyzed for a medium with random inhomogeneities. Beams are trapped because inhomogeneities give rise to wave localization at random locations and random…

Asymptotic radiative transfer (ART), like diffusion theory, assumes the angular intensity distribution incident at a boundary is identical with that in the depth of the scattering medium. However, the asymptotic intensity profile and…
