Abstract: | In this paper, an acoustic shear impedance model is employed to obtain a relation between the viscosity of a Newtonian fluid and phase characteristics of ultrasonic shear wave reflection from a solid-fluid interface. The phase and magnitude of the reflection coefficient can be decoupled in this model. The decoupling allows an independent relation between the acoustic shear impedance (viscosity-density product) and phase of the reflection coefficient. The model was experimentally verified for different fluid-solid combinations. Comparison of the results with the commonly used absolute reflection coefficient method demonstrates that phase measurement provides improved measurements. |
