Acoustic Streaming

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Ultrasonic Technology ((ULTE))

Abstract

Sound at high intensity levels in gases and liquids is accompanied by stationary (time-independent) flows known as acoustic streaming (other terms encountered in the literature are “acoustic wind” or “quartz wind”). These flows occur either in a free nonuniform sound field or (particularly) near various types of obstacles immersed in a sound field or near oscillating bodies. They are always of a rotational character. Their velocity increases with the sound intensity, but, even at the highest intensities currently available, the velocity remains smaller than the particle velocity in the sound wave.
