Viscous Attenuation Of Acoustic Waves In Suspensions

A model for attenuation of acoustic waves in suspensions is proposed which includes an energy loss due to viscous fluid flow around spherical particles. The expression for the complex wavenumber is developed by considering the partial pressures acting on the solid and fluid phases of the suspensi...
