Propagation of a Huygens front through turbulent medium

The dynamics of a thin Huygens front propagating through turbulent medium is considered. A rigorous asymptotic expression for the effective velocity $v_F$ proportional to the front area is derived. The small-scale fluctuations of the front position are shown to be strongly intermittent. This intermittency plays a crucial role in establishing a steady state magnitude of the front velocity. The results are compared with experimental data.
