A primary challenge in developing synthetic spatial hearing systems, particularly underwater, is accurately modeling sound scattering. Biological organisms achieve 3D spatial hearing by exploiting sound scattering off their bodies to…
In this Letter, we present a theoretical analysis of the acoustic transmission through two-dimensional arrays of straight rigid cylinders placed parallelly in the air. Both periodic and completely random arrangements of the cylinders are…
We study the oscillation spectrum and acoustic properties of a liquid drop in the phase-separated fluid when the interfacial dynamics of phase conversion can be described in terms of the kinetic growth coefficient. For a readily mobile…
Waves impart momentum and exert force on obstacles in their path. The transfer of wave momentum is a fundamental mechanism for contactless manipulation, yet the rules of conventional scattering intrinsically limit the radiation force based…
Acoustic waves at microwave frequencies have been widely used in wireless communication and recently emerged as versatile information carriers in quantum applications. However, most acoustic devices are passive components, and dynamic…
Acoustic transparency is the capability of a medium to transmit mechanical waves to adjacent media, without scattering. This characteristic can be achieved by carefully engineering the acoustic impedance of the medium -- a combination of…
We present a novel approach for simulating acoustic (pressure) wave propagation across different media separated by a diffuse interface through the use of a weak compressibility formulation. Our method builds on our previous work on an…
Transport properties of particles and waves in spatially periodic structures that are driven by external time-dependent forces manifestly depend on the space-time symmetries of the corresponding equations of motion. A systematic analysis of…
Porous media underpin absorption, filtration, separation, and high-area interfacial transport in chemical and diagnostic systems, yet sustained directional flow through them remains difficult because tortuous pore networks and strong…
Three-dimensional pentamode metamaterials are artificial solids that approximately behave like liquids, which have vanishing shear modulus. Pentamodes have recently become experimental reality. Here, we calculate their phonon band…
High-fidelity lattice-Boltzmann very-large-eddy simulations are performed to describe the noise dissipation mechanisms in a single cavity acoustic liner subjected to grazing turbulent flow at a centreline Mach number of 0.3 and plane…
In audio-visual navigation, an agent intelligently travels through a complex, unmapped 3D environment using both sights and sounds to find a sound source (e.g., a phone ringing in another room). Existing models learn to act at a fixed…
Acoustic bianisotropic materials couple pressure and local particle velocity fields to simultaneously excite monopole and dipole scattering, which results in asymmetric wave transmission and reflection of airborne sound. In this work, we…
Shot noise in a chaotic cavity (Lyapunov exponent $\lambda$, level spacing $\delta$, linear dimension $L$), coupled by two $N$-mode point contacts to electron reservoirs, is studied as a measure of the crossover from stochastic quantum…
This work studies the effectiveness of acoustic black holes to generate broadband non-reflective traveling waves using a single excitation source. This is inspired by similar observations in the basilar membrane of the mammalian inner ear.…

Connectedness and applied stress strongly affect elasticity in solids. In various amorphous solids, mechanical stability can be lost either by reducing connectedness or by increasing pressure. We present an effective medium theory of…
Controlling audible sound requires inherently broadband and subwavelength acoustic solutions, which are to date, crucially missing. This includes current noise absorption methods, such as porous materials or acoustic resonators, which are…
There is currently significant interest in operating devices in the quantum regime, where their behaviour cannot be explained through classical mechanics. Quantum states, including entangled states, are fragile and easily disturbed by…
We consider the acoustic flow field of rotationally symmetric systems, like an annular combustor and the flow in a round duct, in absence of a mean azimuthal flow field. We focus on azimuthal instabilities, which manifest as either spinning…
