Two interaction mechanisms of particles in a fluid are proposed on base of forces, mediated by hydrodynamic thermal fluctuations. The first one is similar to the conventional van der Waals interaction, but instead of been mediated by…

The analysis of the secondary Bjerknes force between two bubbles suggests that this force is analogous to the electrostatic forces. The same analogy is suggested by the existence of a scattering cross section of an acoustic wave on a…
An acoustic standing wave acts as a lattice of evenly spaced potential energy wells for sub-wavelength-scale objects. Trapped particles interact with each other by exchanging waves that they scatter from the standing wave. Unless the…
