Thermoacoustic oscillations in an air-filled, looped tube with a stack inserted are simulated numerically by using asymptotic theories for the ratio of a radius of flow passage to a typical thickness of the thermoviscous diffusion layer. The stack is composed of many pores axially and is sandwiched by hot and cold heat exchangers to impose a temperature gradient on the air in each pore. Weakly nonlinear wave equations based on the boundary-layer theory are used for a section in the outside of the stack. In each pore, the diffusion-wave (advection) equation is employed. Matching conditions at both ends of the stack require the conservations of mass, momentum and energy fluxes. An initial-value problem is solved from a disturbance of a pulsed axial velocity along the loop. When the temperature ratio is below a certain value, the initial disturbance is decayed out.

Large-scale nonlinear ultrasound simulations using the open-source k-Wave toolbox are now routinely performed using the MPI version of k-Wave running on traditional CPU-based clusters. However, the all-to-all communications required by the 3D fast Fourier transform (FFT) severely impact performance when scaling to large numbers of compute cores. This can be overcome by using a domain decomposition strategy based on a local Fourier basis. In this work, we analyze the performance and accuracy of using local domain decomposition for running a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) simulation in the kidney on a single server containing eight NVIDIA P40 graphical processing units (GPUs). Different decompositions and overlap sizes are investigated and compared to a global MPI simulation running on a CPU-based supercomputer using 1280 cores. For a grid size of 960 by 960 by 1280 grid points and an overlap size of 4 grid points, the error in the simulation using local domain decomposition is on the order of 0.1$ compared to the global simulation, which is sufficient for most applications. The financial cost for running the simulation is also reduced by more than an order of magnitude.Large-scale nonlinear ultrasound simulations using the open-source k-Wave toolbox are now routinely performed using the MPI version of k-Wave running on traditional CPU-based clusters.

Thermoacoustic Taconis oscillations of gaseous helium in a closed straight cylindrical tube are numerically studied. The tube is subject to a strong temperature gradient along the tube axis. The ratio of the temperature of the hot end parts to that of the cold center part is 15, and the length ratio of the hot part to that of the cold part is 1.0. The axisymmetric compressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved and fundamental antisymmetric mode of a standing wave is observed. Using the obtained flow field data, we trace fluid particles and their thermodynamic properties are calculated. The fluid particles oscillate and drift in the tube. In order to obtain a general picture of the energy conversion, the evolution of the distribution of the increase rate of heat is examined.

A bubble in a standing sound wave in water pulsates with such power that, as its minimum radius is approached, the interior undergoes a first order phase transition to a dense plasma. A pulse of blackbody radiation is emitted with temperatures ranging from 6,000K to 20,000K depending on the gas inside the bubble. To date experiments on sonoluminescence inside water, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid have yielded similar blackbody temperatures. These liquids are hydrogen bonded and so the question arises as to whether their compressibility limits the energy concentration achieved by Sonoluminescence. Liquids where repulsion between nearest neighbor electron shells such as small ion molten slats should be more incompressible. Scaling law estimates of the energy loss due to: acoustic radiation; shear viscosity, and compressibility of the surrounding fluid will be discussed with the goal of predicting a fundamentally new regime of sonoluminescence.

Lamb waves are attracting significant attention in the nondestructive evaluation for plate structures due to their capability to propagate long distances. In this study, the nonlinear interaction of Lamb waves with an imperfect joint of elastic plates is numerically investigated. In particular, the second harmonic generation behavior from the joint is examined by perturbation analysis. The imperfect joint is modeled as a spring-type interface with quadratic nonlinearity, and the perturbation analysis is carried out using the hybrid finite element method (HFEM). For the incidence of the lowest-order symmetric (S0) Lamb mode below the cut-off frequencies of the higher-order modes, the double-frequency S0 mode is generated from the imperfect joint due to the nonlinear interaction. A nonlinear parameter calculated from the amplitude of the second harmonic S0 mode shows a sharp peak at a certain incident frequency. The peak frequency increases with increasing interfacial stiffness, and the double of the peak frequency corresponds to the resonance frequency of the imperfect joint subjected to the S0 mode incidence. This result shows that the resonance of the imperfect joint leads to the amplification of the second harmonic S0 mode.Lamb waves are attracting significant attention in the nondestructive evaluation for plate structures due to their capability to propagate long distances.

Soft elastic media such as rubber and soft tissue possess small shear moduli, facilitating the generation of large shear deformations. These materials may also exhibit viscoelasticity such as stress relaxation over the frequency range of interest. An augmented form of the Duffing equation was recently developed to model the response near the lowest resonance of a shear wave resonator formed with a nonlinear relaxing material that is shaken at one end and free at the other [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 143, 1035 (2018)]. The augmented Duffing model was found to accurately describe the response of the resonator when the driving motion is linearly polarized.

The propagation of an initially antisymmetric disturbance through a relaxing medium in one-dimension is considered. If dissipation and dispersion effects are small compared with the effect of nonlinearity, the disturbance approaches the classic N-wave profile with narrow shocks controlled by relaxation processes. As the N-wave propagates it spreads and decays in amplitude, affecting key balances between competing physical processes. In this paper we analyse the change in the shock structure as the outer solution evolves, using asymptotic analysis supplemented by numerical results. Two numerical schemes are described - an implicit scheme with variable spatial mesh which allows good resolution of the shock structure, and a pseudospectral scheme which is used when multiple relaxation modes are considered. Experimental measurements (Pawlowski et al 2005 and Yuldashev et al 2008) reveal the appearance of a slowly decaying shock tail previously unexplained by analysis of the augmented Burgers equation. In this paper we demonstrate that this phenomenon occurs when one of the relaxation timescales is comparable to the time of pulse duration.

Periodic instability in sulfur plasma bulbs driven at their acoustic resonant frequency leads to behavior similar to a relaxation oscillation. This instability, which develops over the course of more than 500 acoustic periods manifests as both an oscillation in the total luminosity of the lamp and a frequency modulation of the resonator. We present evidence that the cause of this oscillation cycle stems from periodic eruptions of plasma from within a region near the acoustic velocity antinode. We propose that these oscillations and eruptions indicate a coupling between high amplitude acoustic waves and interface waves and consider whether this system might provide a platform with which to study turbulent heat transport.Periodic instability in sulfur plasma bulbs driven at their acoustic resonant frequency leads to behavior similar to a relaxation oscillation.

This instability, which develops over the course of more than 500 acoustic periods manifests as both an oscillation in the total luminosity of the lamp and a frequency modulation of the resonator. We present evidence that the cause of this oscillation cycle stems from periodic eruptions of plasma from within a region near the acoustic velocity antinode. We propose that these oscillations and eruptions indicate a coupling between high amplitude acoustic waves and interface waves and consider whether this system might provide a platform with which to study turbulent heat transport.","PeriodicalId":20469,"journal":{"name":"Proc.
