Abstract
We use the random matrix theory (RMT) to study the probability distribution function and moments of the wave power transmitted inside systems with ergodic wave motion. The results describe either open multichannel systems or their closed counterparts with local-in-space internal dissipation. We concentrate on the regime of broken time-reversal invariance and employ two different analytical approaches: the exact supersymmetry method and a simpler technique that uses RMT eigenstatistics for closed nondissipative systems as an input. The results of the supersymmetric method were confirmed by numerical simulation. The simpler method is found to be adequate for closed systems with uniform dissipation, or in the limit of a large number of weak local dampers.
