At low frequencies consideration of the quasi-static elastic moduli and densities of the gas and liquid parts of the mixture yields a value of sound velocity which is much lower than the velocity in either constituent. The computation has been confirmed experimentally in the concentration regions of 1 to 60% air by volume. The sound velocity was found from the change of phase in a plane progressive wave as a function of distance. Concentrations were determined from a measure of the hydrostatic pressure of the mixture. The “froth” was made by pumping the water rapidly past a porous glass filter through which the air was forced. A trace of detergent retarded the coalescence of bubbles. Minimum sound velocity in a water air mixture occurs at 50% concentration where the velocity is approximately 22 mps.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
