Abstract
A collimated ’’monochromatic’’ acoustic wave (sinusoidal wave of 3–90 kHz) was directed across a two-dimensional turbulent jet perpendicular to its plane of symmetry. Extensive study of the statistical properties both of the turbulent medium and of the received signal (random amplitude and phase modulation) offers physical insight into the general phenomenon of a periodic wave (pressure) scattered by random inhomogeneities (solenoidal velocity field). Subject Classification: [43]28.60.
