Abstract

Investigating the physical mechanisms of interaction between acoustic waves and fluids is significant for the detection of the properties of liquids. Researchers in this field have mainly used shear-mode acoustic wave sensors to measure fluid density and viscosity, but not the bulk modulus. Using an immersed gigahertz-range microsensor, one can obtain compressional information about a liquid from the observed propagation of longitudinal acoustic waves in the nonreflective regime. This work fills a gap by enabling measurement of a liquid's bulk modulus in a microfluidic setting, with an eye toward physiological fluids in particular.
