The acoustic radiation pressure exerted by an axisymmetric sound field on a rigid sphere suspended freely in a viscous fluid is calculated, the sphere being considered as having an arbitrary radius relative to the sound and viscous wavelengths. The limiting cases of special interest are then investigated, namely, the acoustic radiation force due to a plane progressive and plane standing wave is examined for the limiting cases when the sound wavelength is much more than both the sphere radius and the viscous wavelength and the sphere radius is, in its turn, small or large compared with the viscous wavelength. It is shown that the influence of the viscosity of the fluid surrounding the sphere on the radiation force can be quite considerable in both a quantitative and a qualitative sense. The case of a fastened sphere is also considered.

A new method of removing waste chips is proposed by focusing on the key factors affecting the processing quality and efficiency of high energy beams. Firstly, a mathematical model has been established to provide the theoretical basis for the separation of solid–liquid suspension under ultrasonic standing wave. Secondly, the distribution of sound field with and without droplet has been simulated. Thirdly, the deformation and movement of droplets are simulated and tested. It is found that the sound pressure around the droplet is greater than the sound pressure in the droplet, which can promote the separation of droplets and provide theoretical support for the ultrasonic suspension separation of droplet; under the interaction of acoustic radiation force, surface tension, adhesion, and static pressure, the droplet is deformed so that the gas fluid around the droplet is concentrated in the center to achieve droplet separation, and the droplet just as a flat ball with a central sag is stably suspended in the acoustic wave node.

Acoustic streaming generated from the traveling-wave component of a synthesized sound field often has considerable influence on ultrasonic manipulations, in which the behavior of microparticles may be disturbed. In this work, the large-scale streaming pattern in a chamber with three incident plane waves is simulated, illustrating a directional traveling stream pattern and several vortical structures. Based on the numerical results, the trapping capability of an acoustic potential well is quantitatively characterized according to several evaluation criteria: the boundary and elastic constant of the acoustic potential well, the acoustic radiation force offset ratio, and the elastic constant offset ratio. By optimizing these parameters, the constraint of the acoustic potential well can be strengthened to promote the performance and robustness of the ultrasonic transportation. An ultrasonic manipulation device employing three 1.67-MHz lead zirconate titanate (PZT) transducers with rectangular radiation surface is prototyped and performance tested. The experimental results show that the average fluctuations of a microparticle during transportation have been suppressed into a region less than 0.01 times the wavelength. Particle displacement from equilibrium is no longer observed.

The inverse time domain boundary element method (ITBEM) that is derived from the direct time domain boundary element method by eliminating the retarded time is able to reconstruct the transient pressure and flux on the surface of an arbitrarily shaped source by measuring the pressure on a hologram surface. In the present work, the ITBEM is applied to reconstruct the transient pressure and acceleration over the surface of a tire which is supported away from the ground in a semi-anechoic chamber. The tire is impacted by a rigid sphere to generate a transient sound field, and the measurement is controlled by a trigger which is connected to an acceleration sensor stuck on the surface of the tire. The pressure and acceleration on the surface of the tire are reconstructed from the holographic pressure measured by array microphones. By visualizing the pressure and acceleration with respect to the elapsed time, the wave propagation phenomenon of the pressure and acceleration on the surface of the tire is shown clearly. The comparison of the reconstructed surface acceleration to the measured one demonstrates the effectiveness of ITBEM for transient sound field reconstruction.
