Interest in the interaction of acoustic waves with particulate mixtures has a long history—
dating back to the work of Rayleigh in the 19th century. This interest has intensified over the …

Two key words define the scope of this book:'ultrasound'and'colloids'. Historically, there has
been little real communication between practitioners in these two fields. Although there is a …

Vertical profiles of suspended sand concentration and size are obtained from multifrequency
acoustic profiling data collected in 1989 during a nearshore experiment at Stanhope Lane …

This book is an introduction to the physics of suspensions of bubbles, droplets, and solid
particles in both gases and fluids. Rather than treating each combination separately, a …

The use of acoustics to measure sediment transport boundary layer processes has gained
increasing acceptance over the past two decades. This has occurred through the …

The interaction of suspended particles with ultrasonic waves can lead to changes in the
sonic velocity and also to extinction of the waves. An evaluation of the frequency …

Acoustic thermometry and velocimetry are widely recognized as promising methods for in
situ measurement of gas temperature and velocity due to their non-invasive, low-cost, and …

Ultrasonic spectroscopy has a great potential to measure the particle sizes in suspensions
and emulsions of many industrial sectors. However, one significant challenge is measuring …

Many shallow‐water acoustic applications (eg, naval mine‐hunting sonars, acoustic Doppler
current profilers) involve devices operating in the frequency range 50–300 kHz over path …

Ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) are used clinically to aid detection and diagnosis of
abnormal blood flow or perfusion. Characterization of UCAs can aid in the optimization of …
