| contents | This work is concerned with the high contrast stochastic homogenization of the Helmholtz equation. Our goal is to characterize the second order moments of the scaling limit of the fluctuations of the wavefield. We show that these moments are those of a random wavefield solution to a homogenized Helmholtz equation with a white noise source term and obtain expressions for its variance. Two factors contribute to the white noise: fluctuations in the inverse permittivity of the high contrast inhomogeneities, and fluctuations in their size. This problem is motivated by wave propagation in sea ice, which is a random compositive of ice and pockets of air and brine. The analysis hinges on three ingredients: a covariance formula due to Chatterjee for functions of independent random variables; small-volume expansions to quantify the fluctuations due to one inclusion; and the standard two-scale expansions for stochastic homogenization. |
