Scaling of Huygens-front speedup in weakly random media
Front propagation described by Huygens’ principle is a fundamental mechanism of spatial spreading of a property or an effect, occurring in optics, acoustics, ecology and combustion. If the local front speed varies randomly due to inhomogeneity or motion of the medium (as in turbulent premixed combustion), then the front wrinkles and its overall passage rate (turbulent burning velocity) increase...
متن کاملLaser probing of random weakly scattering media
An analysis of measurements of phase and amplitude scintillations imparted on a Gaussian laser beam probing a weakly scattering random medium is presented. The second-order statistics (correlation functions and spectral densities) of the detector fluctuations (for homodyne and heterodyne interferometers) are related to the corresponding stochastic properties of the scattering medium. In the pla...
متن کاملWave field correlations in weakly mismatched random media
This paper concerns the derivation of a Fokker-Planck equation for the correlation of two high frequency wave fields propagating in two different random media. The mismatch between the random media need be small, on the order of the wavelength, and their correlation length need be large relative to the wavelength. The loss of correlation caused by the mismatch in the random media is quantified ...
متن کاملFront propagation in random media: From extremal to activated dynamics
Front propagation in a random environment is studied close to the depinning threshold. At zero temperature we show that the depinning force distribution exhibits a universal behavior. This property is used to estimate the velocity of the front at very low temperature. We obtain a Arrhenius behavior with a prefactor depending on the temperature as a power law. These results are supported by nume...
متن کاملSynchronization of weakly nonlinear oscillators with Huygens' coupling.
In this paper, the occurrence of synchronization in pairs of weakly nonlinear self-sustained oscillators that interact via Huygens' coupling, i.e., a suspended rigid bar, is treated. In the analysis, a generalized version of the classical Huygens' experiment of synchronization of two coupled pendulum clocks is considered, in which the clocks are replaced by arbitrary self-sustained oscillators....
