High-Frequency Approximation to Coupled Power Equations
In this section we give, under the assumption that nearest neighbor coupling is the main power transfer mechanism, an approximation of the solution of the coupled power equations (2.47) in the high-frequency regime or in the limit of large number of propagating modes N(ω) ≫ 1. Let us note that the limit of a large number of propagating modes N(ω) ≫ 1 corresponds to the high-frequency regime ω → +∞. Next, we analyze the energy carried by the propagating modes in this regime. The coupled power equations can be approximated in the high-frequency regime by a diffusion equation. This approximation has been already obtained in [39] for instance, in which we can find further references about this topic. We can also refer to [44] for more discussions on this approximation. For an application of such a diffusion model to acoustic propagation in random sound channels we refer to [45], and for applications to time reversal of waves we refer to [33] and Chapters 3 and 4 of this manuscript .
High-Frequency Approximation to Coupled Power Equation with Negligible Radiation Losses
In the case of negligible radiation losses, we also get a continuous diffusive model for the coupled power equations in the high-frequency regime or in the limit of a large number of propagating modes N(ω) ≫ 1. This diffusive continuous model is equipped with boundary conditions which take into account the negligible effect of the radiation losses at the bottom and the free surface of the waveguide (see Figure 2.4 page 57). Now, let us assume that the radiation losses are negligible, that is, Λc(ω) = τ˜Λc(ω) with τ ≪ 1. We have already remarked that, if the radiation losses are negligible, then the coupling process is predominant and we have ∀L > 0, sup z∈[0,L] kT τ,l j (ω, z) − T 0,l j (ω, z)k2,RN(ω) = O(τ ).
Mode Coupling in Random Waveguides
In this section, we study the Fourier transform bp(ω, x, z) of the pressure p(t, x, z) when a random section [0, L/ǫ] is inserted between two homogeneous waveguides. In the half-space z ≥ 0, by taking the Fourier transform in (3.2), we get the perturbed time harmonic wave equation ∂2 z bp(ω, x, z) + ∂2 x bp(ω, x, z) + k2(ω)(n2(x) + √ǫ ˜ V (x, z))bp(ω, x, z) = 0.
