Abstract

Radiative transport equations for elastic waves in random media can be derived from first principles in a certain regime of physical parameters. They account for both longitudinal and transverse waves, as well as polarization. Transport boundary conditions can also be derived from first principles. An important application of transport theory is to the analysis of the deep coda of elastic waves, where some rather interesting phenomena of energy distribution emerge. A reference to work in this area is by Ryzhik et al. [Wave Motion 24, 327–370 (1996)]. Another reference, more directly related to seismics, is Ryzhik et al. [Bull. Seismol. Soc. Am. 86, 1107–1115 (1996)].
