We give an overview of our investigations concerning the role of recurrent scattering from pairs of dielectric spheres in a transport equation. This phenomenon is intimately related to Induced Dipole-Dipole coupling familiar from atomic physics. We show numerically how dynamic and stationary transport characteristics are modified by recurrent scattering events.
