Abstract
- In a previous paper (Whitman et al 1999 Waves Random Media 9 1–11) we discussed the scattering of acoustic waves by random sound-speed fluctuations in a two-dimensional channel and presented an asymptotic form for an acoustic pulse propagating in the channel. Here we include the three-dimensional effect of transverse scattering. We find an asymptotic solution in which initially the two-dimensional mode-transfer effect is more important than the transverse scattering effect. However, for large enough propagation distances the transverse scattering effect dominates the pulse spread. In this paper we shall show the form of the pulse shape in both propagation ranges as well as in the transition regime. We shall begin with a discussion of the physics of the problem and then present a mathematical discussion.
