Abstract

The numerical-analytical phase screen method is used to analyze the statistics of the density of caustics in an underwater sound channel with large-scale random inhomogeneities. Different cases of wave propagation direction with respect to the channel axis are considered, and the influence of the inhomogeneity correlation radius is investigated.
