Abstract
Willis fluids are characterized by constitutive relations that couple the pressure and momentum density to both the particle velocity and the volume strain. This effective dynamic response coupling may arise due to microstructural asymmetry, long range order, or time-varying material properties and has been shown to be analogous to electromagnetic bianisotropic media [Phys. Rev. B 96, 104303 (2017)]. In this study, we report on the existence of guided waves at the interface between two fluids when at least one displays Willis coupling. Criteria for the existence of these waves are discussed in terms of the material properties, frequency, and wave number, and expressions for the dispersion relation and rate of spatial decay away from the interface are obtained analytically. We demonstrate that interface waves are supported when one of the fluids possesses Willis coupling, in contrast to an interface between two classical isotropic fluids, which cannot support interface waves. Special cases are highlighted via numerical examples. [Work supported by ONR, NSF, the Applied Research Laboratories at The University of Texas at Austin, and the NRC Research Associateship Program.]
