In this paper, Von Karman random media is constructed with power spectrum method. The random media with Von Karman autocorrelation cannot be constructed in time domain but in frequency domain. So power spectrum method is utilized to solve the problem. The spectrum of random function is generated in frequency domain with random field and auto-correlation function. With inverse Fourier transformation, the Von Karman random media model is constructed. With different correlation lengths, six group of Von Karman random media are constructed.

Some research on the wave propagation in random medium with Von Karman correlation has been developed in this paper. It focuses on the seismic record of circular disturbance in random medium with Von Karman autocorrelation function. Six different kinds of random medium become the background of the dielectric object. The study of the impact to the responds of the dielectric objects can be measured by applying the FDTD to random background medium model. The numerical results show that the random media make the most obvious effect when the scale of imhomogeneity is close to the wave length.


In the first part of this paper opportunity has been taken to make some adjustments in certain general formulae of previous papers, the necessity for which appeared in discussions with other workers on this subject. The general results thus amended are then applied to a general discussion of the stability problem including the effect of the trailing wake which was deliberately excluded in the previous paper. The general conclusion is that to a first approximation the wake, as usually assumed, has little or no effect on the reality of the roots of the period equation, but that it may introduce instability of the oscillations, if the centre of gravity of the element is not sufficiently far forward. During the discussion contact is made with certain partial results recently obtained by von Karman and Sears, which are shown to be particular cases of the general formulae. An Appendix is also added containing certain results on the motion of a vortex behind a moving cylinder, which were obtained to justify certain of the assumptions underlying the trail theory.
