The technique of acoustic levitation normally produces a standing wave and the potential
well of the sound field can be used to trap small objects. Since no solid surface is involved it …

Spatiotemporally controllable droplet manipulation is essential in diverse applications,
ranging from thermal management to microfluidics and water harvesting. Despite …

Acoustic levitation has the potential to enable novel studies due to its ability to hold a wide
variety of substances against gravity under container-less conditions. It has found …

Conditions are summarized for manipulating and stabilizing fluid objects based on the
acoustic radiation pressure of standing waves. Examples include (but are not limited to) …

The effect of counterion binding on the surface tension and surface potential of ionic
surfactant solutions is accounted for theoretically. It turns out that no every couple of …

Numerical simulations of cavitation noise have been performed under the experimental
conditions reported by Ashokkumar et al.(2007)[26]. The results of numerical simulations …

Rectified diffusion has wide and important applications in sonochemistry, ultrasonic cleaning
and medical ultrasound. Recent experimental results have demonstrated that the addition of …

The use of optical trapping techniques to manipulate probe particles for performing micro-
rheological measurements on a surrounding fluid is well-established. Here, we review …

Levitation and free‐flight techniques applied to investigate the drying kinetics and
morphology of single drops containing dissolved solids and suspensions are reviewed. A …

The shape of a soft solid is largely determined by the balance between elastic and surface
energies with capillarity becoming important at length scales smaller than the elastocapillary …
