One-dimensional acoustic waves in air/water mixtures

Homogenisation theory is used to derive Wood’s formula for the speed at which a pressure wave can propagate in an air/water mixture. The smallness of the impedance ratio between air and water results in a dramatic lowering of the wave speed of the mixture and, when the air fraction is small, the pos...
