This updated new edition provides an introduction to the field of thermoacoustics. All of the
key aspects of the topic are introduced, with the goal of helping the reader to acquire both an …

A one-dimensional model is developed to analyze nonlinear standing waves in an
acoustical resonator. The time domain model equation is derived from the fundamental …

Measurements of macrosonic standing waves in gases in oscillating closed cavities are
shown. The strong dependence of the pressure waveform upon cavity shape is …

The unsteady, two-dimensional, thermally stratified flow in the neighborhood of an idealized
thermoacoustic stack is analyzed using a low-Mach-number model that extends the …

Fluidics has the advantage of using no-moving-parts to manage fluid motion. Acoustic
compressor/pump has become the latest entry into the field of fluidics as a no-moving-part …

A numerical investigation on nonlinear oscillations of gas in an axisymmetric closed tube is
presented. When the tube is oscillated at a resonant frequency of the interior acoustic field, it …

Theoretical and experimental studies of forced gas oscillations in a cubic resonator with a
throat near resonance are carried out. At the resonance frequency, the gas pressure …

Nonlinear ultrasound forms an integrated discipline of nonlinear acoustics founded in 1755.
A short outline of the state-of-the-art in nonlinear ultrasound in 1960 forms the introduction to …

The simplified quasi-one-dimensional model of thermoacoustic devices formulated in Part I
[Watanabe et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 102, 3484–3496 (1997)] is studied in the nonlinear …

Investigation of finite amplitude standing waves generated by boundary driving in the
stepped acoustic resonator has been carried out both theoretically and experimentally to …
