Irregular Acoustic Streaming Formation in Symmetrically Heated Enclosures
نویسنده
چکیده
A numerical investigation was carried out in order to predict the effects of symmetric heating on irregular acoustic streaming in air-filled shallow enclosures. The fluid motion is driven by periodic vibration of the enclosure left wall. The vertical walls of the enclosure are adiabatic while the horizontal walls are heated symmetrically. A control-volume method based, explicit time-marching Flux-Corrected Transport Algorithm is used to simulate the transport phenomena in the enclosure. A symmetric temperature gradient strongly alters the irregular acoustic streaming structures and velocities. Index Terms – Acoustic streaming, pressure wave, enclosure

A simple and novel method for acoustic streaming power measurement of ultrasonic horn
Ultrasonic horn with transfer of acoustic wave into an aqueous solution results in unique properties. When, transfer of sound wave into a liquid results in liquid movement in the direction of wave propagation which gradually loses its energy due to the viscous friction. This wave motion induces a flow which is known as acoustic streaming or micro-streaming. In this article, a simple innovative ...
متن کاملEffect of β-PVDF Piezoelectric Transducers' Positioning on the Acoustic Streaming Flows
This paper reports the numerical and experimental analysis of the acoustic streaming effect in a fluidic domain. The actuation of a piezoelectric transducer generates acoustic waves that propagate to the fluids, generating pressure gradients that induce the flow. The number and positioning of the transducers affect the pressure gradients and, consequently, the resultant flow profile. Two actuat...
متن کاملAcoustic streaming related to minor loss phenomenon in differentially heated elements of thermoacoustic devices.
It is demonstrated that the differentially heated stack, the heart of all thermoacoustic devices, provides a source of streaming additional to those associated with Reynolds stresses in quasi-unidirectional gas flow. This source of streaming is related to temperature-induced asymmetry in the generation of vortices and turbulence near the stack ends. The asymmetry of the hydrodynamic effects in ...
متن کاملInstabilities in the Rayleigh-Bénard-Eckart problem.
This study is a linear stability analysis of the flows induced by ultrasound acoustic waves (Eckart streaming) within an infinite horizontal fluid layer heated from below. We first investigate the dependence of the instability threshold on the normalized acoustic beam width H(b) for an isothermal fluid layer. The critical curve, given by the critical values of the acoustic streaming parameter, ...
متن کاملHeat Transfer Enhancement in Ducts Due to Acoustic Excitation
The thermoacoustic effect that results from the interaction of a sound wave in a compressible fluid in contact with solid boundaries is known to be capable of removing heat from power dissipating systems. In this paper the standing wave acoustic field that is generated in an open ended duct, a section of which is heated, and how it interacts with the aerodynamic flow field is examined by an exp...
