Derivation of stochastic reflection laws from specular reflection

Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

Specular reflection at a rough surface with periodic structure is studied. It is shown that as the period length tends to zero, a stochastic reflection law is obtained. A consequence of the limiting procedure is a decrease of the H-functional caused by the reflection.
