Following some previous papers, we continue in this paper to give proof of the analogy between the acoustic world and the electromagnetic world. Hence we derive the expressions for: the scattering-scattering force (the electro-acoustic…
We study the hydrodynamic interactions between colloids suspended in a compressible fluid inside a rigid channel. Using lattice-Boltzmann simulations and a simplified hydrodynamic theory, we find that the diffusive dynamics of density…
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…
Unlike optical waves, acoustic waves in fluids are described by scalar pressure fields, and therefore are considered spinless. Here, we demonstrate experimentally the existence of spin in acoustics. In the interference of two acoustic waves…
Here we show a complete band gap in acoustic propagation in water with regularly placed air-cylinders. Also for the first time, we report that in the gap, all cylinders oscillate in phase but exactly out of the phase of a wave source…
Bubble curtains are widely used to protect marine life from exposure to noise during offshore construction. However, operating a bubble curtain is costly. Therefore optimizing the acoustic effect of the available air is important. An…
Multiple scattering of waves leads to many peculiar phenomena such as complete band gaps in periodic structures and wave localization in disordered media. Within a band gap excitations are evanescent; when localized they remain confined in…
Sound driven gas bubbles in water can emit light pulses (sonoluminescence). Experiments show a strong dependence on the type of gas dissolved in water. Air is found to be one of the most friendly gases towards this phenomenon. Recently,…

The bubbles involved in sonochemistry and other applications of cavitation oscillate inertially. A correct estimation of the wave attenuation in such bubbly media requires a realistic estimation of the power dissipated by the oscillation of…
Transition frequencies of two spherical gas bubbles interacting in an acoustic field are discussed theoretically. In the present study, transition frequency is defined as the frequency of external sound for which the phase difference…
A surprising phenomenon is presented: a bubble, produced from water electrolysis, is immobilized in the liquid (as if the Archimedes' buoyant force were annihilated). This is achieved using a nanoelectrode (1 nm to 1 $\mu$m of curvature…
A traditional approach to the analysis of mode coupling in a fluctuating underwater waveguide is based on solving the system of coupled equations for the second statistical moments of mode amplitudes derived in the Markov approximation…
The dynamic response of a gas bubble entrapped in a cavity on the surface of a submerged solid subject to an acoustic field is investigated in the linear approximation. We derive semi-analytical expressions for the resonance frequency,…
Acoustic propagation and scattering in water containing many parallel air-filled cylinders is studied. Two situations are considered and compared: (1) wave propagating through the array of cylinders, imitating a traditional experimental…
In the study of ocean wave impact on structures, one often uses Froude scaling since the dominant force is gravity. However the presence of trapped or entrained air in the water can significantly modify wave impacts. When air is entrained…
Numerical solutions are given for a parabolic approximation of the acoustic wave equation at 200 and 250 Hz in two and three spatial dimensions to determine if azimuthal coupling in the cross-range coordinate significantly affects…
We present direct measurements of the gas acoustic dynamics following interaction of spatial single- and multi-mode 50 fs, 800 nm pulses in air at 10 Hz and 1 kHz repetition rates. Results are in excellent agreement with hydrodynamic…
When a drop impacts a deep pool, it forms a crater which subsequently rebounds. Under certain conditions, a dimple forms at the crater bottom, which pinches off to entrap a small bubble. The oscillation of this entrapped bubble is the…
Water keeps puzzling scientists because of its numerous properties which behave oppositely to usual liquids: for instance, water expands upon cooling, and liquid water is denser than ice. To explain this anomalous behaviour, several…
