Acoustic radiation force on an elastic cylinder in a Gaussian beam near an impedance boundary

Acoustic radiation force (ARF) is studied by considering an infinite elastic cylinder near an impedance boundary when the cylinder is illuminated by a Gaussian beam. The surrounding fluid is an ideal fluid. Using the method of images and the translation-addition theorem for the cylindrical Bessel function, the resulting sound field including the incident wave, its reflection from the boundary, the scattered wave from the elastic cylinder, and its image are expressed in terms of the cylindrical wave function. Then, we deduce the exact equations of the axial and transverse ARFs. The solutions depend on the cylinder position, cylinder material, beam waist, reflection coefficient, distance from the impedance boundary, and absorption in the cylinder. To analyze the effects of the various factors intuitively, we simulate the radiation force for non-absorbing elastic cylinders made of stainless steel, gold, and beryllium as well as for an absorbing elastic cylinder made of polyethylene, which is a well-known biomedical polymer. The results show that the impedance boundary, cylinder material, absorption in the cylinder, and cylinder position in the Gaussian beam significantly affect the magnitude and direction of the force. Both stable and unstable equilibrium regions are found. Moreover, a larger beam waist broadens the beam domain, corresponding to non-zero axial and transverse ARFs. More importantly, negative ARFs are produced depending on the choice of the various factors. These results are particularly important for designing acoustic manipulation devices operating with Gaussian beams.     

Axial acoustic radiation force on a rigid cylinder near an impedance boundary for on-axis Gaussian beam

This work presents a theoretical model to calculate the acoustic radiation force on a rigid cylindrical particle immersed in an ideal fluid near a boundary for an on-axis Gaussian beam. An exact solution of the axial acoustic radiation force function is derived for a cylindrical particle by applying the translation addition theorem of cylindrical Bessel function. We analyzed the effects of the impedance boundary on acoustic radiation force of a rigid cylinder immersed in water near an impedance boundary with particular emphasis on the radius of the rigid cylinder and the distance from the cylinder center to impedance boundary. Simulation results reveal that the existence of particle trapping behavior depends on the choice of nondimensional frequency as well as the offset distance from the impedance boundary. The value of the radiation force function varies when the cylinder lies at the different position of the on-axis Gaussian beam. For the particle with different radius, the acoustic radiation force functions vary significantly with frequency. This study provides a theoretical basis for acoustic manipulation, which may benefit to the improvement and development of the acoustic control technology.     

Study of axial acoustic radiation force on a sphere in a Gaussian quasi-standing field

Based on the finite series method, the Gaussian standing or quasi-standing beam is expressed in terms of spherical wave functions and a weighting parameter, which describe the beam shape and location relative to the particle. An expression is derived for the radiation force on a sphere centered on the axis of a Gaussian standing or quasi-standing wave propagating in an ideal fluid. Rigid, fluid, elastic, and viscoelastic spheres immersed in water are treated as examples. In addition, a method is proposed to compute the axial acoustic radiation force when the sphere is translated axially. Results indicate the capability of the proposed method to manipulate and separate spheres based on their mechanical and acoustical properties. The interaction of a Gaussian quasi-standing beam with a sphere can result in periodic axial force under specific operating conditions. The results presented here may provide a theoretical basis for the development of acoustical tweezers in a Gaussian standing beam, which would be useful in micro-fluidic lab-on-chip applications.     

Acoustic radiation force of a solid elastic sphere immersed in a cylindrical cavity filled with ideal fluid

An expression for the acoustic radiation force function on a solid elastic spherical particle placed in an infinite rigid cylindrical cavity filled with an ideal fluid is deduced when the incident wave is a plane progressive wave propagated along the cylindrical axis. The acoustic radiation force of the spherical particle with different materials was computed to validate the theory. The simulation results demonstrate that the acoustic radiation force changes demonstrably because of the influence of the reflective acoustic wave from the cylindrical cavity. The sharp resonance peaks, which result from the resonance of the fluid-filled cylindrical cavity, appear at the same positions in the acoustic radiation force curve for the spherical particle with different radii and materials. Relative radius, which is the ratio of the sphere radius and the cylindrical cavity radius, has more influence on acoustic radiation force. Moreover, the negative radiation forces, which are opposite to the progressive directions of the plane wave, are observed at certain frequencies.     

Modal acoustic impedance force on a spherical source near a rigid interface

The modal acoustic radiation load on a spherical surface undergoing angularly periodic axisymmetric harmonic vibrations while immersed in an acoustic halfspace with a rigid (infinite impedance) planar boundary is analyzed in an exact fashion using the classical technique of separation of variables. The formulation utilizes the appropriate wave field expansions, the classical method of images and the appropriate translational addition theorem to simulate the relevant boundary conditions for the given configuration. The associated acoustic field quantities such as the modal impedance matrix and the modal acoustic radiation force acting on the spherical surface are determined. The analytical results are illustrated with a numerical example in which the spherical surface, excited in vibrational modes of various orders, is immersed near an impervious rigid wall. The presented solution could eventually be used to validate those obtained by numerical approximation techniques.     

Dynamic interaction of an eccentric multipole cylindrical radiator suspended in a fluid-filled borehole within a poroelastic formation

Acoustic radiation and the dynamic field induced by a cylindrical source of infinite extent, undergoing angularly periodic and axially-dependent harmonic surface vibrations, while eccentrically suspended in a fluid-filled cylindrical cavity embedded within a fluid-saturated porous elastic formation, are analyzed in an exact manner. This configuration, which is a realistic idealization of an acoustic logging tool suspended in a fluid-filled borehole within a permeable surrounding formation, is of practical importance with a multitude of possible applications in seismo-acoustics. The formulation utilizes the novel features of Biot dynamic theory of poroelasticity along with the translational addition theorem for cylindrical wave functions to obtain a closed-form series solution. The basic dynamic field quantities such as the resistive and the reactive components of the modal acoustic radiation impedance load on the source in addition to the radial and transverse stresses induced in the surrounding formation by an eccentric pulsating/oscillating cylinder in a water-filled borehole within a water-saturated Ridgefield sandstone medium are evaluated and discussed. Special attention is paid to the effects of source eccentricity, excitation frequency, and mode of surface oscillations on the modal impedance values and the dynamic stresses. Limiting cases are considered and good agreements with available solutions are obtained.     

Wave forces on stationary slender bodies

A theory is presented for the prediction of the wave forces on ships and the pressure field on slender bodies vibrating in an acoustic medium. In both radiation and diffraction the flow in the near field is approximated by a sequence of two-dimensional problems supplemented with homogeneous components which account for longitudinal flow interactions. These are matched to three-dimensional far-field approximations represented by axial source distributions and two integral equations are solved for their strengths. The theory is valid from the incompressible long-wavelength limit to wavelengths comparable to the body beam. Comparisons of wave forces and the acoustic radiation impedance pressure are in very good agreement with exact solutions. It is shown that the asymptotic matching conserves energy.     

Scattering of acoustic waves from a point source over an impedance wedge

In this work we study diffraction of a spherical acoustic wave due to a point source, by an impedance wedge In the exterior of the wedge the acoustic pressure satisfies the stationary wave (Helmholtz) equation and classical impedance boundary conditions on two faces of the wedge, as well as Meixner’s condition at the edge and the radiation conditions at infinity. Solution of the boundary value problem is represented by a Weyl type integral and its asymptotic behavior is discussed. On this way, we derive various components in the far field interpreting them accordingly and discussing their physical meaning.     

The interaction of surface waves with fixed semi immersed cylinders having symmetric cross sections

The reflection of water waves by a semi immersed cylinder having a symmetric cross section is studied for both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions on the cylinder. The method of conformal transformations as utilized by Ursell and by Tasai for the radiation problem is adapted to the present diffraction problem. The problem is solved by expansions of the reflected wave potential using nonorthogonal functions (wave free potentials). These functions are not complete, and an additional source and a dipole are required. Infinite systems of linear equations are obtained for the unknown expansion coefficients and the unknown strengths of the source and the dipole terms. Numerical results are obtained for the reflection coefficient, transmission coefficient, horizontal force on cylinder, vertical force on cylinder. In the long wave region analytical approximations are obtained for these functions when the cross section is circular. The reflection and transmission coefficients are very different for the two boundary conditions in the long wave region, the Dirichlet reflection coefficient being much larger than the corresponding Neumann coefficient. This behavior is similar to acoustic and electromagnetic diffraction problems in two dimensions. On leave of absence from Itek Corporation, Lexington (Mass.), U.S.A.

Three dimensional shock wave/boundary layer interactions

An investigation into a three-dimensional, curved shock wave interacting with a three-dimensional, curved boundary layer on a slender body is presented. Three different nose profiles mounted on a cylindrical body were tested in a supersonic wind tunnel and numerically simulated by solving the Navier–Stokes equations. The conical and hemispherical nose profiles tested were found to generate shock waves of sufficient strength to separate the boundary layer on the cylinder, while the shock wave generated by the ogival profile did not separate the boundary layer. For the separated flow, separation was found to occur predominantly on the windward side of the cylinder with the lee-side remaining shielded from the direct impact of the incident shock wave. A thickening of the boundary layer on the lee-side of all the profiles was observed, and in the conical and hemispherical cases this leads to the re-formation of the incident shock wave some distance away from the surface of the cylinder. A complex reflection pattern off the shock wave/boundary layer interaction (SWBLI) was also identified for the separated flow cases. For comparative purposes, an inviscid simulation was performed using the hemispherical profile. Significant differences between the viscous and inviscid results were noted including the absence of a boundary layer leading to a simplified shock wave reflection pattern forming. The behaviour of the incident shock wave on the lee-side of the cylinder was also affected with the shock wave amalgamating on the surface of the cylinder instead of away from the surface as per the viscous case. Test data from the wind tunnel identified two separation lines present on the cylindrical surface of the hemispherical SWBLI generator. The pair of lines were not explicitly evident in the original CFD simulations run, but were later identified in a high-resolution simulation.     

Reflection of bounded acoustic beams on a fluid-solid interface

The reflection of an acoustic beam onto a fluid-solid interface is studied under the assumption that the solid medium is viscoelastic. The incident beam is represented as a superposition of plane monochromatic homogeneous waves and its profile is assumed to be Gaussian shaped. The outcoming wave field at the interface, and away from it in the fluid, is numerically calculated for different values of the frequency and of the beam width.

Simulation of Transverse Combustion Instability in a Multi-Injector Combustor using the Time-Domain Impedance Boundary Conditions

The time-domain impedance boundary condition (TDIBC) is used as a reduced-order model (ROM) in large-eddy simulation (LES) to study self-sustained transverse oscillations in an experimentally studied high-pressure, shear coaxial multi-injector combustor. This work is an extension of the recent study using ROM-LES to simulate a single-element combustor that exhibited longitudinal instability. Here, we focus on transverse instability in a seven-injector combustor. The fuel and oxidizer inlets are truncated and the conventional inflow boundary conditions at the original inlet are replaced by an impedance describing function (IDF) in the form of a reflection coefficient that couples with LES through characteristic based boundary conditions at the truncated inlet. The impedance model is also generalized to include the effects of entropy fluctuations at the inflow. The hybrid ROM-LES simulations are compared with LES simulations with the full combustor geometry. Results show very good agreement and confirm that the use of TDIBC within LES is a viable tool to account for complex acoustic/boundary interaction in a physical way without explicitly solving the full geometry at LES level. Some simplifications and approximations have to be invoked and these constraints are also discussed.     

Reflection of a beam of elastic waves by a periodic surface profile

Reflection of elastic waves from a traction-free solid-air boundary of periodic saw-tooth profile is investigated analytically and experimentally. For an incident plane wave the surface displacements on the profile are computed as the solution of a singular integral equation. The reflected field is subsequently obtained by using an integral representation. Incident beams of finite width are represented by Fourier superpositions of plane waves. The dependence of the reflected signal spectra on the incident beam width is examined closely near the fundamental surface resonance frequency. Experimental spectra which were obtained using two different diameter transducers, are compared to the corresponding theoretical spectra. It is found that the depth of the spectral minima depends on the incident beam width. Both analytical and experimental results exhibit the splitting of an incident beam of elastic waves into two reflected beams. The beam splitting is more pronounced for a narrower incident beam and for frequencies close to a resonance frequency of the profile.     

Normal incidence of a plane acoustic wave on a rigid wall covered with a thin compressible layer

The one-dimensional unsteady problem of the variation of the pressure on a rigid wall covered with a thin compressible layer upon which a plane acoustic wave impinges is investigated. The investigation is carried out from two standpoints: without allowance for wave processes in the layer (in this case the layer is modeled by means of a special boundary condition [1] and the pressure on the wall is a continuous function of time) and with allowance for the waves transporting the pressure perturbation from the outer edge of the layer to the wall and back (in this case the pressure on the wall is a piecewise-continuous function of time). A criterion of the proximity of the results of the two approaches is the smallness of the acoustic impedance ratio before interaction begins. This holds true even when the high intensities of the incident waves lead to considerable compression of the layer and an increase in its acoustic impedance.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 139–148, July–August, 1988.

Gaussian beam formulations and interface conditions for the one-dimensional linear Schrödinger equation

Gaussian beams are asymptotic solutions of linear wave-like equations in the high frequency regime. This paper is concerned with the beam formulations for the Schrödinger equation and the interface conditions while beams pass through a singular point of the potential function. The equations satisfied by Gaussian beams up to the fourth order are given explicitly. When a Gaussian beam arrives at a singular point of the potential, it typically splits into a reflected wave and a transmitted wave. Under suitable conditions, the reflected wave and/or the transmitted wave will maintain a beam profile. We study the interface conditions which specify the relations between the split waves and the incident Gaussian beam. Numerical tests are presented to validate the beam formulations and interface conditions.
