Abstract:Purpose -The objective of this study is to model the influence of free gas, in the form of size-distributed fine bubbles, on sound attenuation and dispersion in a thin-walled elastic cylindrical tube filled with viscoelastic polymeric liquid. Design/methodology/approach -Sound wave propagation in the system is described within a three-phase interaction scheme, based on a quasi-homogeneous approach to liquid-gas mixture dynamics in the wave. Coupled equations of tube wall deformations and viscoelastic liquid dy… Show more
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.
