Abstract
When the displacement amplitude of an acoustic wave consisting of equal parts fundamental and second harmonic exceeds the diameter of a circular orifice, steady flow is generated whose direction is determined by the phase of th etwo wave components [P.J. Westervelt, Ph.D. thesis "The interaction of a finite amplitude acoustic wave with small obstacles and orifices," MIT, 1951)]. Some applications to semipermeable biological membranes are discussed.
