The significance of high-order resonances of spherical bubbles to the acoustic response of fish with swimbladders

The high-order resonant response of spherical gas bubbles in seawater, when insonified by an acoustic pulse of 12 cycles of 38 kHz, used for target strength measurements, shows substantial variation in shape with only small changes in bubble radius. In contrast, the amplitude response of a gas bubble near its fundamental resonance changes predominantly in magnitude as the radius changes. The fundamental response is very similar to that of a more rigid target such as a tungsten carbide sphere. It might initially be thought that the high-order resonant response of spherical gas bubbles in seawater would have little relevance to the response of a gas-filled spheroidal swimbladder immersed in a viscous fish body. However, target responses similar to those predicted theoretically for gas bubbles have been found in data collected in situ for estimating target strength from normal fish populations. With further theoretical and experimental work, high-order resonances could be a useful aid to estimating target size and possibly target species.     

表面共振圆环结构对Si纳米线热传导的调控

利用声子的波动性,在纳米线表面引入共振结构,可以有效阻碍声子输运.为进一步优化共振结构,本文基于平衡态分子动力学(EMD)方法,研究表面共振圆环结构的高度和宽度对Si纳米线热输运性质的影响.结果表明：随着共振圆环高度的增加,Si纳米线的热导率逐渐减小,最大减幅可达61.9%.当高度达到2nm以后,热导率基本不再变化.共振圆环宽度则对热导率的影响较小.声子色散关系中出现的平带,证实了共振圆环引起的声子共振效应;最低共振频率的变化说明了共振圆环中的声子波长决定了共振圆环高度对纳米线热导率的最大影响程度.研究进一步发现,随着共振圆环高度的增加,声学支声子对热导率贡献的比重变小.本文研究结果对高效热电材料和隔热材料的微纳结构设计提供了一种新的思路.     

A model for the nearfield acoustics of the fish swimbladder and its relevance for directional hearing

It is a well-known fact that fish can determine the direction of an underwater sound source. For bony fish without Weberian ossicles the mechanism proposed here is the analysis of the elliptical movement of the otolith macula relative to the otolith in case a pure tone is emitted. This movement results from the superposition of the direct displacement wave and the displacement wave scattered by the swimbladder acting as a damped harmonic oscillator. A derivation of a closed analytical expression of the scattered wave is given for a prolate spheroidal air bubble (representing the swimbladder) in water. The elliptical displacement orbits of the surrounding medium were calculated. A general numerical approach is given for irregular gas bodies.     

Extraordinary Resonant Scattering in Imperfect Acoustic Cloak

We present a systematic study on the extraordinary resonant scattering in imperfect acoustic cloak by means of acoustic scattering theory. Analysis results demonstrate that the resonances are inevitable due to the perturbation to the ideal clo~k, and specific resonance modes are excited by specific order waves. The strength of resonance is determined by the magnitude of perturbation and each order wave＇s sensitivity to the perturbation. Further studies reveal the unique scattering characters of different resonance modes.     

A model for directional and distance hearing in swimbladder-bearing fish based on the displacement orbits of the hair cells

It is known that teleosts, without Weberian ossicles but with a swimbladder, can detect the direction of and, under appropriate conditions, the distance to a sound source [e.g., Schuijf and Hawkins, Nature 302, 143-144 (1983)]. It is hypothesized here that the underlying mechanism is the analysis of the parameters of the elliptical movement of the hair cells with respect to the otoliths. This movement results from the displacement wave impinging directly upon the labyrinth and the response displacement wave reradiated by the swimbladder. For a given swimbladder geometry, given the positions of the maculae of both labyrinths with respect to the swimbladder and the damping of the swimbladder, the displacement orbits of the maculae can be calculated [de Munck and Schellart, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 81, 556-560 (1987)]. These calculations were made for the cod and the trout with the frequency, direction, and distance between the fish and the sound source as parameters with the source within the same horizontal plane as the fish. The orbit model predicts that the utriculus has the most strategic position to detect direction and distance of such a sound source. Moreover, the model predicts that this could basically be done monaurally. A hypothesis is proposed to describe how the utricular system analyzes the orbit parameters. The model is evaluated in relation to the results of behavioral experiments described in the literature.

Analysis of underwater decoupling properties of a locally resonant acoustic metamaterial coating

This paper presents a semi-analytical solution for the vibration and sound radiation of a semi-infinite plate covered by a decoupling layer consisting of locally resonant acoustic metamaterial. Formulations are derived based on a combination use of effective medium theory and the theory of elasticity for the decoupling material. Theoretical results show good agreements between the method developed in this paper and the conventional finite element method(FEM), but the method of this paper is more efficient than FEM. Numerical results also show that system with acoustic metamaterial decoupling layer exhibits significant noise reduction performance at the local resonance frequency of the acoustic metamaterial, and such performance can be ascribed to the vibration suppression of the base plate. It is demonstrated that the effective density of acoustic metamaterial decoupling layer has a great influence on the mechanical impedance of the system. Furthermore, the resonance frequency of locally resonant structure can be effectively predicted by a simple model, and it can be significantly affected by the material properties of the locally resonant structure.

Suppression of Helmholtz resonance using inside acoustic liner

When a Helmholtz resonator is exposed to grazing flow, an unstable shear layer at the opening can cause the occurrence of acoustic resonance under appropriate conditions. In this paper, in order to suppress the flow-induced resonance, the effects of inside acoustic liners placed on the side wall or the bottom of a Helmholtz resonator are investigated. Based on the one-dimensional sound propagation theory, the time domain impedance model of a Helmholtz resonator with inside acoustic liner is derived, and then combined with a discrete vortex model the resonant behavior of the resonator under grazing flow is simulated. Besides, an experiment is conducted to validate the present model, showing significant reduction of the peak sound pressure level achieved by the use of the side-wall liners. And the simulation results match reasonably well with the experimental data. The present results reveal that the inside acoustic liner can not only absorb the resonant sound pressure, but also suppress the fluctuation motion of the shear layer over the opening of the resonator. In all, the impact of the acoustic liners is to dampen the instability of the flow-acoustic coupled system. This demonstrates that it is a convenient and effective method for suppressing Helmholtz resonance by using inside acoustic liner.     

Modulated resonant versus pulsed resonant photoacoustics in trace gas detection

Modulated resonant photoacoustics is a sensitive technique widely used for trace gas sensing. Generally, a continuous-wave laser is modulated at a frequency corresponding to an acoustic resonance of a photoacoustic cell. Another mode of operation—which we propose to call the pulsed resonant mode—consists in matching the frequency repetition rate of a pulsed laser to an acoustic resonance of the cell. We present a theoretical model to compare the performance of these two configurations. For a given average power of the incoming light inside the cell, the pulsed resonant mode of operation (nanosecond pulses or shorter) produces π/2 times higher photoacoustic signals than the modulated resonant scheme (the latter is optimized for a 50% duty cycle). This result agrees with experiments during which both cases were investigated at 532 nm using the same photoacoustic cell containing trace concentrations of NO₂.

音叉式石英晶振共振频率对QEPAS传感器性能影响的研究

以标准商用石英音叉（QTF）为测声模块的石英增强光声光谱（QEPAS）技术是近年来发展迅速的一种痕量气体检测技术。标准商用QTF拥有的小体积,高Q值,高共振频率的特性使QEPAS技术具有结构紧凑且对环境噪声免疫的特性。但传统商用QTF狭窄的振臂间距以及较高的共振频率,使其无法在光源光束质量较差或被测气体弛豫率较低的情况下被很好的应用于QEPAS系统。为克服上述难题,非标准商用QTF（f₀≠32.7 kHz）被设计制作并越来越多的被装配于QEPAS系统中。因此,QTF共振频率对QEPAS系统信噪比的影响需要被详细研究。以水汽为目标气体,采用二次谐波调制解调技术研究了QTF共振频率对基于QEPAS技术传感器性能的影响。实验结果表明,QTF共振频率的变化对QEPAS系统的输出信号及噪声均有显著影响且QTF共振频率与QEPAS系统信噪比之间存在反比关系。上述结论对QEPAS系统中非标准QTF的设计及使用均具有重要的指导价值,对该类传感器的研发及应用意义重大。

The effect of loading on disturbance sounds of the Atlantic croaker Micropogonius undulatus: air versus water

Physiological work on fish sound production may require exposure of the swimbladder to air, which will change its loading (radiation mass and resistance) and could affect parameters of emitted sounds. This issue was examined in Atlantic croaker Micropogonius chromis by recording sounds from the same individuals in air and water. Although sonograms appear relatively similar in both cases, pulse duration is longer because of decreased damping, and sharpness of tuning (Q factor) is higher in water. However, pulse repetition rate and dominant frequency are unaffected. With appropriate caution it is suggested that sounds recorded in air can provide a useful tool in understanding the function of various swimbladder adaptations and provide reasonable approximation of natural sounds. Further, they provide an avenue for experimentally manipulating the sonic system, which can reveal details of its function not available from intact fish underwater.     

有限元/边界元耦合方法在海洋生物目标强度特性研究的应用*

目标强度特性是海洋生物声学识别与资源量评估的重要依据,其中,基于近似几何体和声阻抗特性的理论模型法是研究海洋生物目标强度的重要手段。由于对几何形态近似处理以及数值求解方法的限制,传统理论模型对声波频率、入射方位以及目标声阻抗、形态尺寸等均有各自不同的适用范围,单一模型难以满足不同种类或同一种类但不同尺寸海洋生物的目标强度求解。本文尝试将逐渐见诸应用的有限元/边界元耦合方法用于海洋生物目标强度特性研究,分别以球形生物、纺锤形鱼类尾明角灯鱼(Ceratoscopelus warmingii)和细长形浮游动物南极大磷虾(Euphausia superba)为例进行仿真计算,并与相适应的经典理论模型进行对比分析。结果表明,对于球形生物,有限元/边界元耦合方法与解析模型的目标强度频响曲线完全吻合;对于纺锤形鱼类,有限元/边界元耦合方法可有效弥补基于模态级数解的形变圆柱体模型在中低频和两端入射时的准确性问题;对于细长形浮游动物,有限元/边界元耦合方法与畸变波玻恩近似模型高度吻合。综上,有限元/边界元耦合方法对多种海洋生物目标强度求解均具有较好的适用性,未来有待进一步结合实验测定进行验证。     

An ultra-thin acoustic metasurface with multiply resonant units

In this paper, we propose an ultra-thin acoustic metasurface constructed of multiply resonant units to manipulate reflected wavefront. As a counterpart to the Helmholtz resonator (with monopolar resonance) and membrane-type resonator (with dipolar resonance), the multiply resonator are used in metamaterials to induce strong quadrupolar resonance. Here we use the multiply resonator as a new kind of building blocks to make acoustic metasurfaces. The used multiply resonant unit is composed of solid materials, and the acoustic metasurface can work in a water background. We demonstrate that the proposed acoustic metasurface achieves good performance in anomalous reflection, focusing, and carpet cloaking. The thickness of the acoustic metasurface is about two orders of magnitude smaller than the acoustic wavelength in water. A design of unit group is further proposed to avoid the phase discretization becoming too fine in such a long-wavelength condition.     

Low frequency sound scattering from spherical assemblages of bubbles using effective medium theory

The determination of the acoustic field scattered by an underwater assembly of gas bubbles or similar resonant monopole scatterers is of considerable theoretical and practical interest. This problem is addressed from a theoretical point of view within the framework of the effective medium theory for the case of spherically shaped assemblages. Although being valid more generally, the effective medium theory is an ideal instrument to study multiple scattering effects such as low frequency collective resonances, acoustically coupled breathing modes of the entire assembly. Explicit expressions for the scattering amplitude and cross sections are derived, as well as closed form expressions for the resonance frequency and spectral shape of the fundamental collective mode utilizing analytical S-matrix methods. This approach allows, in principle, a simultaneous inversion for the assembly radius and void fraction directly from the scattering cross sections. To demonstrate the validity of the approach, the theory is applied to the example of idealized, spherically shaped schools of swim bladder bearing fish. The analytic results of the theory are compared to numerical first-principle benchmark computations and excellent agreement is found, even for densely packed schools and frequencies across the bladder resonance.     

Multiple scattering of an obliquely incident plane acoustic wave from a grating of immersed cylindrical shells

The study of the interaction of acoustic waves with cylindrical structures has numerous applications including the ultrasonic nondestructive testing of materials. In this paper, using a new mathematical model presented for the scattering of obliquely incident plane acoustic waves from a grating of immersed cylindrical shells, a detailed study of the resonant interaction of A-wave resonances originating from the shells is conducted. The nature of A-wave resonances and the effect of center-to-center distance of the shells on these resonances are examined. It is observed that this resonant interaction not only results in the splitting of A-wave resonances, but also causes an increase in resonance amplitudes. This interaction phenomenon is not seen in Rayleigh, whispering gallery and guided wave resonances. It is also shown that increasing the angle of wave incidence to the grating weakens the A-wave resonant interactions. The numerical results obtained from the mathematical model are compared to experimental results available in the literature for gratings composed of two and three aluminum shells. The numerical results are in very good agreement with their experimental counterparts.
