title: Multiple scattering by random configurations of circular cylinders: reflection, transmission, and effective interface conditions.
abstract: In a previous paper, Linton and Martin [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 117, 3413-3423 (2005)] obtained two formulas for the effective wavenumber in a dilute random array of circular scatterers. They emerged from a study of the problem of the reflection of a plane wave at oblique incidence to a half-space containing the scatterers. Here, their study is extended to obtain formulas for the reflection and transmission coefficients and to investigate the average fields near the boundary of the half-space. Comparisons with previous work are made.
