Aims & Scope

Waves in Random and Complex Media (formerly Waves in Random Media ) is a broad, interdisciplinary journal that reports theoretical, applied and experimental research related to any wave phenomena. The field of wave phenomena is all-pervading, fast-moving and exciting; more and more, researchers are looking for a journal which addresses the understanding of wave-matter interactions in increasingly complex natural and engineered media. With its foundations in the scattering and propagation community, Waves in Random and Complex Media is becoming a key forum for research in both established fields such as imaging through turbulence, as well as emerging fields such as metamaterials. The Journal is of interest to scientists and engineers working in the field of wave propagation, scattering and imaging in random or complex media. Papers on theoretical developments, experimental results and analytical/numerical studies are considered for publication, as are deterministic problems when also linked to random or complex media. Papers are expected to report original work, and must be comprehensible and of general interest to the broad community working with wave phenomena.
