The existence of only a few bubbles could drastically reduce the acoustic wave speed in a liquid. Wood's equation models the linear sound speed, while the speed of an ideal shock waves is derived as a function of the pressure ratio across…
In an ultrasonic field the region around a solid particle experiences small, localised velocity, pressure, and thermal fluctuations that decay rapidly over short length scales. Herein, we investigate the overlap of the rapidly decaying…
This work is devoted to investigating a compressible fluid system with low stratification, which is driven by fast acoustic waves and internal waves. The approximation using a soundproof model is justified. More precisely, the soundproof…
Empirical studies have demonstrated that humans possess the remarkable capacity to distinguish whether a glass of water is hot or cold solely by the sound of pouring it. However, the underlying physical mechanisms governing the disparities…
Water is the most familiar liquid, and arguably the most complex. Anomalies of supercooled water have been measured during decades, and competing interpretations proposed. Yet, a decisive experiment remains elusive, because of unavoidable…
Propagation of acoustic waves in an one-dimensional water duct containing many air filled blocks is studied by the transfer matrix formalism. Energy distribution and interface vibration of the air blocks are computed. For periodic…
We study the dynamics of two air bubbles driven by the motion of a suspending viscous fluid in a Hele-Shaw channel with a small elevation along its centreline via physical experiment and numerical simulation of a depth-averaged model. For a…

We are concerned with a coupled-physics spectral problem arising in the coupled propagation of acoustic and elastic waves, which is referred to as the acoustic-elastic transmission eigenvalue problem. There are two major contributions in…
Sound waves in bubbly water and light in special relativity obey identical first-order transport laws. This equivalence is not approximate or analogical but mathematically identical to first order in $U/v$, sharing the same form discovered…
The purpose of this paper is to investigate acoustic wave scattering by a large number of bubbles in a liquid at frequencies near the Minnaert resonance frequency. This bubbly media has been exploited in practice to obtain super-focusing of…
A single bubble in water is excited by a standing ultrasound wave. At high intensity the bubble starts to emit light. Together with the emitted light pulse, a shock wave is generated in the liquid at collapse time. The time-dependent…
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…
A number of techniques with different degrees of accuracies have been devised for the measurement of acoustic wave attenuation in solids and liquids. Still, a wide variation is observed in the attenuation values in different materials…
An analytical theory is developed that describes acoustic microstreaming produced by the interaction of an oscillating gas bubble with a viscoelastic particle. The bubble is assumed to undergo axisymmetric oscillation modes, which can…
Many familiar events feature a distinctive sound: paper crumpling or tearing, squeaking doors, drumming rain or boiling water. Such characteristic sounds actually carry a profusion of informations about the fleeting physical processes at…

Self-assembled quantum dots are ideal structures in which to test theories of open quantum systems: Confined exciton states can be coherently manipulated and their decoherence properties are dominated by interactions with acoustic phonons.…
The dynamics of bubble clouds induced by high-intensity focused ultrasound are investigated in a regime where the cloud size is similar to the ultrasound wavelength. High-speed images show that the cloud is asymmetrical; the bubbles nearest…
