Acoustic Waves of Various Geometry in Multi-Fraction Bubbly Liquids

Resumo

The propagation of acoustic waves of various geometry in mixtures of a liquid and a disperse phase consisting of small bubbles which differ from one another by both the radii and the thermophysical properties is investigated. A systemof differential equations of motion of the mixture is written and the dispersion relation is derived. The dispersion curves are constructed and damping of the pressure pulses is compared for the plane, cylindrical, and spherical waves in the bubbly liquids considered. The theory is compared with the experimental data.
