Acoustic Streaming Produced by Focused Sound Beams with Shocks
Friday, September 18, 1998 4:00 p.m. Steven Younghouse Department of Mechanical Engineering The University of Texas at Austin http://www.me.utexas.edu Recent experiments with focused ultrasound at frequencies and intensities commonly encountered in biomedical applications have revealed substantial acoustic streaming (dc flow) associated with the formation of shocks. It is the momentum transferred to the fluid due…
