This paper focuses on the simulation of a layered resonator for a microfluidic ultrasonic separator with a special emphasis on analysing the stored energy-frequency product in the microfluid chamber. Since the acoustic force acting on a small spherical particle in a standing wave in the cavity of an ultrasonic separator is proportional to the product of the energy density in the standing wave and the driving frequency, the energy-frequency product can be used as a prediction of the separation performance in an ultrasonic separator. The electro-acoustic characteristics of the resonator under different conditions are also investigated. In particular, the influence of the reflector thickness on the stored energy-frequency product of the layered resonator is examined. Furthermore, the acoustic pressure distribution in the fluid chamber of the ultrasonic separator is investigated in detail. Predicted results from simulations compare well with experimental measurements and show that the model can be used to predict the electro-acoustic characteristics and the separation performance.

Particles on the plate vibrated by ultrasonic were gathered on the node of vibration plate. Similar to this phenomenon, if two plates are set with parallel, a plate is vibrated by ultrasonic and acoustic pressure distribution is produced between the vibration and reflection plate, nano-sized particles might be collected from the air flow and air is cleaned. Although ultrasonic was applied for the liquid and remove particles, but this has not been researched for air. Then the purpose of this study is to calculate the acoustic pressure distribution between the vibration and reflection plate by using CFD, and investigate the nano-sized particle motion in acoustic pressure distribution. When standing wave between plates is calculated, acoustic wave generated by ultrasonic vibration was reflected at the reflection plate. In the case of CFD, standing wave could not be calculated because these waves disclaim each other and wave generated by a plate doesn’t reach at the other plate. Therefore acoustic wave is also produced at reflection plate, duplicate these waves from vibration and reflection plates, and standing wave between plates were obtained. About investigation for the nano-sized particle motion in acoustic pressure distribution, particles were injected into calculation domain. Particles which have the same diameter and density with influenza virus were applied in this calculation. Examination of particle’s motion and efficient condition on dust catch were calculated in case of changing parameter, for example, amplitude and frequency of vibration plate, velocity of flowing particles, concentration of particles in the flow and so on.

A theoretical approach is described which overcomes the problems of convergence previously associated with obtaining solutions of the elastohydrodynamic equations for a reciprocating, rectangular section rubber seal. Convergence of this method is extremely rapid. Results are presented which illustrate that it is suitable both for instrokes and outstrokes at realistic sealed pressures. Experimental measurements of pressure distribution are presented for comparison.

Numerical as well as experimental approaches are used to capture aero-acoustic characteristics of a car rear-view mirror. The numerical study splits up into several parts. Using an actual production mirror, particular emphasis must be put on the geometry preparation and mesh generation. Initially, a CFD simulation of the entire car aerodynamics is performed to extract the proper flow boundary conditions for the aero-acoustic simulation of a smaller section surrounding the mirror. Pressure fluctuations on the surfaces extracted during an LES generate the data base required for the aeroacoustic post-processing. The acoustic pressure at several monitoring points is then calculated using Lighthill's Acoustic Analogy. To include refraction effects of the nearby surfaces a direct BEM approach is also employed. Utilizing the PIV method, local areas of increased turbulence are identified experimentally. Microphone measurements with and without the exterior mirror are performed.
