A theoretical model is developed for acoustic streaming generated by a cylindrical bubble confined in a fluid channel between two planar elastic walls. The bubble is assumed to undergo volume and translational oscillations. The volume oscillation is caused by an imposed acoustic pressure field and generates the bulk scattered wave in the fluid gap and Lamb-type surface waves propagating along the fluid-wall interfaces. The translational oscillation is induced by the velocity field of an external sound source such as another bubble or an oscillatory fluid flow. The acoustic streaming is assumed to result from the interaction of the volume and the translational modes of the bubble oscillations. The general solutions for the linear equations of fluid motion and the equations of acoustic streaming are calculated with no restrictions on the ratio between the viscous penetration depth and the bubble size. Approximate solutions for the limit of low viscosity are provided as well. Simulations of streamline patterns show that the geometry of the streaming resembles flows generated by a source dipole, while the vortex orientation is governed by the driving frequency, bubble size, and the distance of the bubble from the source of translational excitation. Experimental verification of the developed theory is performed using data for streaming generated by bubble pairs.

Introduction: In stressful times, people often listen to "coping songs" that help them reach emotional well-being goals. This paper is a first attempt to map the connection between an individual's well-being goals and their chosen coping song.
Methods: We assembled a large-scale dataset of 2,804 coping songs chosen by individuals from 11 countries during COVID-19 lockdown.
The effect of temperature constraints on the treatment of tumors using focused ultrasound-induced acoustic streaming.

The transport of drugs into tumor cells near the center of the tumor is known to be severely hindered due to the high interstitial pressure and poor vascularization. The aim of this work is to investigate the possibility to induce acoustic streaming in a tumor. Two tumor cases (breast and abdomen) are simulated to find the acoustic streaming and temperature rise, while varying the focused ultrasound transducer radius, frequency, and power for a constant duty cycle (1%).

Background And Objectives: Acoustofluidic manipulation of particles and biological cells has been widely applied in various biomedical and engineering applications, including effective separation of cancer cell, point-of-care diagnosis, and cell patterning for tissue engineering. It is often implemented within a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchannel, where standing surface acoustic waves (SSAW) are generated by sending two counter-propagating ultrasonic waves on a piezoelectric substrate.
Methods: In this paper, we develop a full cross-sectional model of the acoustofluidic device using finite element method, simulating the wave excitation on the substrate and wave propagation in both the fluid and the microchannel wall.
Pulse Ultrasound-Based Response Enhancement of a MOX Gas Sensor.
ACS Sens

State Key Laboratory of Mechanics and Control for Aerospace Structures, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing 210016, China.
In this work, a new method to enhance the sensing response of an ultrasonically catalyzed metal oxide gas sensor has been proposed and developed, in which pulse ultrasound is employed to enhance the redox reaction at the sensing surface. It is experimentally confirmed that with a proper pulse width, the negative effect of acoustic streaming on the ultrasonic enhancement process can be effectively suppressed. Comparing the steady responses of five target gases under the pulse and continuous ultrasound, respectively, it is found that the pulse ultrasound causes a better catalysis effect, and response enhancement (RE) by the pulse ultrasound with an optimal pulse width depends on the ultrasonic strength as well as the species and concentration of the target gas.

Acoustic waves are a possible reusable method to extinguish flames. Previous studies have placed the sound source near the flame or have used standing waves to reach large enough acoustic amplitudes to extinguish it. In this study, a new method is explored: using time reversal in a room to focus transient acoustic waves to the flame to extinguish it.
