Two-dimensional numerical simulations of nonlinear acoustic streaming in standing waves [PDF]
Numerical simulations of compressible Navier–Stokes equations in closed two-dimensional channels are performed. A plane standing wave is excited inside the channel and the associated acoustic streaming is investigated for high intensity waves, in the ...

Ultrasound-induced acoustophoretic motion of microparticles in three dimensions [PDF]
We derive analytical expressions for the three-dimensional (3D) acoustophoretic motion of spherical microparticles in rectangular microchannels. The motion is generated by the acoustic radiation force and the acoustic streaming-induced drag force.

Degeneration of flow pattern in acousto-elastic flow through sharp-edge microchannels
Acoustic streaming (AS) is the steady time-averaged flow generated by acoustic field, which has been widely used in enhancing mixing and particle manipulation.

Theory of pressure acoustics with boundary layers and streaming in curved elastic cavities [PDF]
The acoustic fields and streaming in a confined fluid depend strongly on the acoustic boundary layer forming near the wall. The width of this layer is typically much smaller than the bulk length scale set by the geometry or the acoustic wavelength, which

Three dimensional acoustic tweezers with acoustic vortex streaming [PDF]
Abstract Acoustic tweezers use ultrasound for contact-free manipulation of particles from millimeter to sub-micrometer scale. Particle trapping originated in either radiation forces or acoustic streaming fields. Acoustic tweezers based on single-beam focused acoustic vortices have attracted considerable attention due to their selective trapping

Acoustic resonances in microfluidic chips: full-image micro-PIV experiments and numerical simulations [PDF]
We show that full-image micro-PIV analysis in combination with images of transient particle motion is a powerful tool for experimental studies of acoustic radiation forces and acoustic streaming in microfluidic chambers under piezo-actuation in the MHz ...
