<p>We introduce a partially coherent modified anomalous vortex beam (PCMAVB) as a new beam focusing on its propagation in oceanic turbulence. The PCMAVB propagating through oceanic turbulence is analyzed according to the Huygens–Fresnel integral and coherence theory. The average intensity of PCMAVB is numerically simulated under various parameters during its propagation in the oceanic turbulence environment. The results discuss in detail how various beam factors, such as coherence length, beam order, modification parameter, topological charge, and underwater oceanic parameters, affect the average intensity distribution of the beam. Our findings highlight the significant implications of the PCMAVB for potential applications in oceanic turbulence.</p>
