2.684: Wave Scattering by Rough Surfaces and Inhomogeneous Media

Graduate | 12 Units | Prereq: 2.066 or permission of instrctor

An advanced-level subject designed to give students a working knowledge of current techniques in this area. Material is presented principally in the context of ocean acoustics, but can be used in other acoustic and electromagnetic applications. Includes fundamentals of wave propagation through, and/or scattering by: random media, extended coherent structures, rough surfaces, and discrete scatterers.
