The sound of a pulsating sphere in a rarefied gas: continuum breakdown at short length and time scales

The pressure field of a pulsating sphere is a canonical problem in classical acoustics, used to illustrate the acoustic efficiency of a monopole source at continuum conditions. We consider the counterpart vibroacoustic and thermoacoustic problems in a rarefied gas, to investigate the effect of conti...
