Дія радіаційної сили в звуковому полі на сферичну краплю в околі вільної поверхні ідеальної рідини

Abstract

Acoustic radiation force effect on a liquid spherical drop placed in the vicinity of an ideal liquid free surface is studied. The problem of determination of the radiation forces acting on an obstacle in ideal liquid is formulated with respect to the Lagrange coordinate system. Thus, the radiation pressure is defined as time-averaged value of the acoustic pressure over the obstacle surface. This approach is adequate if, at determining of the acoustic pressure in a fluid, the deviation of the pressure from the harmonic law in time domain is taken into account in the obstacle vicinity. An action of the acoustic radiation force on a spherical drop of ideal liquid placed in turn in a liquid by its free plane surface is studied here for the case of the incident plane sound wave propagating perpendicularly to the liquid boundary. As a result, the liquid sphere is appeared to be located in the standing sound wave of pressure which has its displacement node at the free surface. Problem solution is obtained as a three step procedure. Initially, solution of the problem of an incident wave scattering at the drop is derived. With making use of the results obtained, the second step encompasses determining of hydrodynamic forces acting on the liquid spherical drop with their subsequent averaging over the suitable time interval at the third step. It is found there frequencies of the incident wave exist that provide zero radiation force acting on the drop which is immobile in this case. These equilibrium positions of the spherical drop could be stable or unstable with respect to the incident wave frequency variation.
