Scaling Limit for Wave Beams in Turbulent Media

Applied Math

Speaker: ALBERT FANNJIANG, UC Davis
Location: 693 Kerr
Start time: Fri, Apr 4 2003, 4:10PM

We will discuss various scaling limits for laser beams propagating in atmospheric turbulence in terms of parabolic wave equations, Wigner equation and Liouville equation. We obtain as limiting models stochastic (linear or nonlinear) PDE and/or integral equations or fluid dynamics equations.
