EXPERIMENT AND THEORY FOR SCATTERING BY RANDOM DISTRIBUTIONS OF SPHERES VERSUS FRACTIONAL VOLUME,

Abstract

The theory and microwave experiments on scattering by a large-scale dynamical model of a ''compressible gas'' are examined. The scatterers are Styrofoam sphere (about 1.5 in. diameter) caused to move more or less randomly (by an air system consiting of blowers, jets, etc.) within a Styrofoam container whose dimensions are approximately 10'' x 20'' x 24''; measurements are made at 5 mm. The results are presented of two systematic programs of measurements and computations of the forward scattered coherent phase; the coherent, incoherent, and total intensities; and of the variances and covariance of phase-quadrature components of the instantaneous field.
