We present a formulation for nonreflecting boundaries in fluctuating hydrodynamics. Nonreflecting boundary conditions are designed to evacuate sound waves out of the computational domain, thus allowing one to deal with open systems and to avoid finite size effects associated with periodic boundaries. Thermodynamic consistency for the fluctuation of the total mass and momentum of the open system is ensured by a fluctuation-dissipation balance which controls the amplitude of the sound waves generated by stress fluctuations near the boundary. We consider equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium situations (forced sound) in liquid water at ambient conditions and argon ranging from gas to liquid densities. Nonreflecting boundaries for fluctuating hydrodynamics make feasible simulations of ultrasound in microfluidic devices.

The majority of disease processes involves changes in the micro-structure of the affected tissue, which can translate to changes in the mechanical properties of the corresponding tissue. Harmonic motion imaging (HMI) is an elasticity imaging technique that allows the study of the mechanical parameters of tissue by detecting the tissue response by a harmonic motion field, which is generated by oscillatory acoustic radiation force. HMI has been demonstrated in tumor detection and characterization as well as monitoring of ablation procedures.

In this paper, we introduce a one-dimensional model for analyzing the cerebrospinal fluid dynamics within the fourth ventricle and the spinal subarachnoid space (SSAS). The model has been derived starting from an original model of Linninger et al. and from the detailed mathematical analysis of two different reformulations.

In this study, the numerical simulation of the fluid flow and acoustic field of a supersonic jet is performed by using high-order discretization and the vorticity confinement (VC) method on coarse grids. The three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations are considered in the generalized curvilinear coordinate system and the high-order compact finite-difference scheme is applied for the space discretization, and the time integration is performed by the fourth-order Runge-Kutta scheme. A low-pass high-order filter is applied to stabilize the numerical solution.

This paper presents an inexpensive but accurate analytical method to calculate the scattering of straight-crested Lamb waves from cracks parallel to the plate surface. The same method is applicable for the disbond problem. In this method, the scatter field is expanded in terms of complex Lamb wave modes with unknown amplitudes.

This study presents a comprehensive procedure to calculate the exact dynamic Green's function of a harmonic semi-infinite solid and the time trajectories of the atoms, in the framework of the Green's function molecular dynamics. This Green's function properly describes the energy dissipation caused by excitations of the surface phonons, and the simulated atoms serve as well-defined thermo- and barostats for the nonequilibrium surface and interface systems. Moreover, the use of the exact dynamic Green's function coupled with a fast convolution algorithm significantly improves both the accuracy and the computing speed.
