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 hel** 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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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