内容説明

This book is a theoretical study of the evolution laws of random nonlinear waves of diverse physical nature propagating in nondispersive media. The book discusses the experience gained when developing an approach mainly relying on a body of Lagrangian and Eulerian statistics of random fields. This method aims to allow one to embrace in a unified manner a wide variety of random strongly nonlinear waves in nondispersive media, to reveal their specific features and fundamental evolution laws, and, finally, to apply the results to the solution of some particular physical problems. The book is based on lectures delivered by the authors at the Radiophysical Department of the Gorky State University in different years, and is mainly supported by original works of authors in the statistics of nonlinear randomwaves of hydrodynamic type. Although the book contains many mathematical calculations, it has been written in physical language and at a physical level.
