In some cases, certain coherent structures can exist in stochastic dynamic systems almost in every particular realization of random parameters describing these systems. Dynamic localization in one-dimensional dynamic systems, vortexgenesis (vortex production) in hydrodynamic flows, and phenomenon of clustering of various fields in random media (i.e., appearance of small regions with enhanced content of the field against the nearly vanishing background of this field in the remaining portion of space) are examples of such structure formation. The general methodology presented in Volume 1 is used in Volume 2 Coherent Phenomena in Stochastic Dynamic Systems to expound the theory of these phenomena in some specific fields of stochastic science, among which are hydrodynamics, magnetohydrodynamics, acoustics, optics, and radiophysics. The material of this volume includes particle and field clustering in the cases of scalar (density field) and vector (magnetic field) passive tracers in a random velocity field, dynamic localization of plane waves in layered random media, as well as monochromatic wave propagation and caustic structure formation in random media in terms of the scalar parabolic equation.

A disturbance in the exosphere generates waves in three partially separable modes. These modes are described by considering the vorticity about a line of force, the two-dimensional divergence of velocity in the plane perpendicular to the line of force, and the component of velocity along the line of force. The propagation of vorticity is one-dimensional and there is no geometrical attenuation; energy is lost only through the finite conductivity of the medium. The propagation of the longitudinal velocity component is almost one-dimensional but is heavily damped at high frequencies. In a gravitational field, the medium is no longer uniform and at low frequencies the modes are coupled in a complicated way. For parallel magnetic and gravitational fields, the vorticity mode is still separable and gravity leads to anisotropic dispersion in the other modes.-p.i.

The elementary theory of hydromagnetic waves in an inviscid incompressible, perfectly conducting fluid of infinite extent, embedded in a uniform magnetic field, indicates their propagation is purely one-dimensional, along the magnetic lines of force, and hence without attenuation. The object is to investigate how t is property is modified by the effects of compressibility, finite electric l con uctivity, viscosity, and the combined effects of finite electrical conductivity and viscosity. Complexities are introduced one by one. The disturbance is specified in terms of vorticity and current density. It appears that the compressibility of a medium acts as a wave filter discriminating between components of vorticity and passing only those directed along the magnetic field. Dissip tive effects introduce great mathematical difficulties. The partial differential equations governing these phenomena are of mixed type: hyperbolic-parabolic, and this indicates that the disturbances diffuse outward as they travel along magnetic lines of force. Th symmetrical role played in these equations by the coefficients of kinematic viscosity and magnetic viscosity is outlined. Some mathematical analogi s between magnetohydrodynamics and ordinary hydrodynamics are studied. Weber's transformation is extended to he potential vector of electrodynamics and the equation for the magnetic field is integrated in terms of Lagrangian variables of hydrodynamics. (Author).
