Second sound is known as the thermal transport regime where heat is carried by temperature waves. Its experimental observation was previously restricted to a small number of materials, usually in rather narrow temperature windows. We show…
We demonstrate theoretically that acoustic forces acting on inhomogeneous fluids can be used to pattern and manipulate solute concentration fields into spatio-temporally controllable configurations stabilized against gravity. A theoretical…
In a recent paper (El Omari and Le Guer, IJHMT, 53, 2010) we have investigated mixing and heat transfer enhancement in a mixer composed of two circular rods maintained vertically in a cylindrical tank. The rods and tank can rotate around…
Traditionally, the occurrence of cavitation has been related to the ratio between flow velocity and pressure gradient in the case of hydrodynamic cavitation, or some combination of vapor pressure and surface tension. However, both…
The interaction of ultrasonic waves with fluid-embedded viscoelastic plates, pipes, and shells, have been subject to extensive theoretical and experimental studies over several decades. In normal-incidence through-transmission measurements…

We present experimental evidence that a bubble moving in a fluid in which a well-chosen acoustic noise is superimposed can be significantly slowed down for moderate acoustic pressures. Through mean velocity measurements, we show that a…
We present results on the global and local characterisation of heat transport in homogeneous bubbly flow. Experimental measurements were performed with and without the injection of $\sim 2.5$ mm diameter bubbles (corresponding to $Re_b…
Heated pipe flow is widely used in thermal engineering applications, but the presence of buoyancy force can cause intermittency, or multiple flow states at the same parameter values. Such changes in the flow lead to substantial changes in…
The generation mechanism of wall heat flux is one of the fundamental problems in supersonic/hypersonic turbulent boundary layers. A novel heat decomposition formula under the curvilinear coordinate was proposed in this paper. The new…
We present a theoretical analysis of the acoustic radiation force on a single small particle, either a thermoviscous fluid droplet or a thermoelastic solid particle, suspended in a viscous and heat-conducting fluid medium. Our analysis…
Generation of an acoustic wave by two pump sound waves is studied in a three-phase marine sediment that consists of a solid frame and the pore water with air bubbles in it. To avoid shock-wave formation the interaction is considered in the…
Electric-field noise from the surfaces of ion-trap electrodes couples to the ion's charge causing heating of the ion's motional modes. This heating limits the fidelity of quantum gates implemented in quantum information processing…
An enhancement in high-frequency acoustic power is commonly observed in the solar photosphere and chromosphere surrounding magnetic active regions. We perform 3D linear forward wave modelling with a simple wavelet pulse acoustic source to…
We present an experimental study of energy transfer in a thermal vapor of atomic rubidium. We measure the fluorescence spectrum in the visible and near infra-red as a function of atomic density using confocal microscopy. At low density we…

Compressibility effects in a turbulent transport of temperature field are investigated applying the quasi-linear approach for small P\'eclet numbers and the spectral $\tau$ approach for large P\'eclet numbers. Compressibility of a fluid…
The formation of thermoacoustic shocks is studied in a fluid complex plasma. The thermoacoustic wave mode can be damped (or anti-damped) when the contribution from the thermoacoustic interaction is lower (or higher) than that due to the…
