Abstract

Mellin-transform techniques are used to evaluate an integral involving the product of three Bessel functions and a power. This integral appears in a number of results concerning the statistics of propagation through turbulence. The solution takes the form of a generalized hypergeometric function, which is expressible as a series that converges rapidly for many cases of interest that pertain to atmospheric turbulence.
