Intensity fluctuations in a moving random medium

We consider the intensity fluctuations arising when a point source of radiation moves in a randomly inhomogeneous scattering medium. The medium itself can also move with a velocity whose component normal to the direction of propagation can have an arbitrary distribution. We derive an expression for the space-time autocorrelation function of the intensity fluctuations transverse to the direction of propagation. The result is analysed for some particular cases and it is shown how the resulting information can be useful in examining the behaviour of random media in situations of practical interest.
