Ultrasonic thrombolysis is an effective method to treat blood clot thrombus in a blood vessel. This paper reports an OD 5 mm and an OD 10 mm piezoelectric thrombolysis transducers that vibrate longitudinally and generate a pressure field at the distal vibration tip. Studies of vibration mode, pressure field pattern, and cavitation effect were carried out. The transducers were also tested for blood clot emulsification. The results indicate both transducers are effective. The OD 10 mm transducer with a long transmission wire has shown to provide a strong cavitation effect and work effectively at low frequency, high amplitude, and high power conditions. The OD 5 mm transducer was found to operate effectively under higher frequency, low amplitude, and lower power conditions. The cavitation effect is moderate, which facilitates precision and controls over obtaining a more uniform emulsification result.

AbstractThe positive and negative high-amplitude pressure peaks (HAPP) are investigated in a turbulent boundary layer at $R{e}_{\theta } = $ 1900 in order to identify their turbulent structure. The three-dimensional velocity field is measured within the inner layer of the turbulent boundary layer using tomographic particle image velocimetry (tomo-PIV). The measurements are performed at an acquisition frequency of 10 000 Hz and over a volume of $418\times 149\times 621$ wall units in the streamwise, wall-normal and spanwise directions, respectively. The time-resolved velocity fields are applied to obtain the material derivative using the Lagrangian method followed by integration of the Poisson pressure equation to obtain the three-dimensional unsteady pressure field. The simultaneous volumetric velocity, acceleration, and pressure data are conditionally sampled based on local maxima and minima of wall pressure to analyse the three-dimensional turbulent structure of the HAPPs. Analysis has associated the positive HAPPs to the shear layer structures formed by an upstream sweep of high-speed flow opposing a downstream ejection event. The sweep event is initiated in the outer layer while the ejection of near-wall fluid is formed by the hairpin category of vortices. The shear layers were observed to be asymmetric in the instantaneous visualizations of the velocity and acceleration fields. The asymmetric pattern originates from the spanwise component of temporal acceleration of the ejection event downstream of the shear layer. The analysis also demonstrated a significant contribution of the pressure transport term to the budget of the turbulent kinetic energy in the shear layers. Investigation of the conditional averages and the orientation of the vortices showed that the negative HAPPs are linked to both the spanwise and quasi-streamwise vortices of the turbulent boundary layer. The quasi-streamwise vortices can be associated with the hairpin category of vortices or the isolated quasi-streamwise vortices of the inner layer. A bi-directional analysis of the link between the HAPPs and the hairpin paradigm is also conducted by conditionally averaging the pressure field based on the detection of hairpin vortices using strong ejection events. The results demonstrated positive pressure in the shear layer region of the hairpin model and negative pressure overlapping with the vortex core.

Abstract This article reports experiments carried out in the laboratory scale annular combustor MICCA-spray equipped with multiple swirling spray injectors. The experimental setup consists in an air plenum connected to a combustion chamber formed by two concentric cylindrical quartz tubes, allowing full optical access to the flames. A new injection system is introduced and characterized. For a wide range of operating conditions, strong combustion instabilities are observed, but the focus of this article is placed on very high amplitude combustion instabilities coupled by a standing azimuthal mode. New results are obtained using a higher order reconstruction method for the pressure field: its shape is shown to be modified during high amplitude oscillation, leading to asymmetries of the pressure distribution in the system. Flame blow off occurs near the pressure nodal line when a critical level of oscillation is reached. A method is proposed to reconstruct the acoustic velocity field just before blow off occurs and in this way determine the blow off threshold. It is found that the pressure distribution, velocity field, and blow off pattern become asymmetric as the amplitude of oscillation increases and that this process is accompanied by a rapid shift in frequency of oscillation. Another notable result is that the heat release rate in the flames on the same side of the nodal line is not perfectly in phase and that the phase differences become larger as the amplitude of oscillation increases.

Abstract This article reports experiments carried out in the laboratory scale annular combustor MICCA-Spray equipped with multiple swirling spray injectors. The experimental setup consists in an air plenum connected to a combustion chamber formed by two concentric cylindrical quartz tubes, allowing full optical access to the flames. A new injection system is introduced and characterized. For a wide range of operating conditions, strong combustion instabilities are observed, but the focus of this article is placed on very high amplitude combustion instabilities coupled by a standing azimuthal mode. It is found that the frequency decreases as the amplitude of the thermoacoustic oscillation grows. New results are obtained using a higher order reconstruction method for the pressure field: its shape is shown to be modified during high amplitude oscillation, leading to asymmetries of the pressure distribution in the system. Flame blow-off occurs near the pressure nodal line when a critical level of oscillation is reached. A method is proposed to reconstruct the acoustic velocity field just before blow-off occurs. Both the velocity field and the blow-off pattern are skewed. The effect of flame blow-off on the frequency of the oscillation is discussed, and it is shown that it leads to the distortion of the pressure field. A new result is also that the phase of the flame response to acoustic perturbation can vary among flames on the same side of the nodal line.

Abstract An advanced flash bootblock device was exceeding current leakage specifications on certain pins. Physical analysis showed pinholes on the gate oxide of the n-channel transistor at the input buffer circuit of the affected pins. The fallout contributed ~1% to factory yield loss and was suspected to be caused by electrostatic discharge or ESD somewhere in the assembly and test process. Root cause investigation narrowed down the source to a charged core picker inside the automated test equipment handlers. By using an electromagnetic interference (EMI) locator, we were able to observe in real-time the high amplitude electromagnetic pulse created by this ESD event. Installing air ionizers inside the testers solved the problem.
