Comparison of Acoustic Streaming Flow Patterns Induced by Solid, Liquid and Gas Obstructions

In this study, acoustic streaming flows inside micro-channels induced by three different types of obstruction—gaseous bubble, liquid droplet and solid bulge—are compared and investigated experimentally by particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) and numerically using the finite element method (FEM). The...
