Ve. Ostashev et al., COHERENCE FUNCTION OF A SPHERICAL ACOUSTIC-WAVE AFTER PASSING THROUGHA TURBULENT JET, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie II. Mecanique, physique, chimie, astronomie, 326(1), 1998, pp. 39-45
The paper deals with a comparison between experimental data obtained b
y Blanc-Benon (1984) and theoretical predictions of the coherence func
tion of a spherical sound wave after passing through a turbulent jet.
The predictions are based on the theory of sound propagation in moving
random media recently developed by Ostashev (1994, 1997), which corre
ctly takes into account the effects of an isotropic vector random fiel
d of the medium velocity fluctuations on Line-of-sight sound propagati
on. It is shown that the theoretical predictions fit the data well. (C
