Method of random wave-vectors in the simulation of correlated random processes

We describe a novel method for simulation of correlated homogeneous random processes with given second-order statistics of a general kind. These processes are specified by their correlation and cross-correlation functions. The simulated processes are constructed as sums of plane waves with random wa...

Description
Summary:We describe a novel method for simulation of correlated homogeneous random processes with given second-order statistics of a general kind. These processes are specified by their correlation and cross-correlation functions. The simulated processes are constructed as sums of plane waves with random wave-vectors. For non-periodical processes with wide spectra, such a method requires much less memory, than the independent generation of the Fourier-components.
