Abstract:A high sensitive ultrasonic method for measuring the surface velocity in a liquid is described. This method is based on the detection of the phase of a high frequency continuous ultrasonic wave (probe beam) reflected from the moving surface. The analysis shows that the main phenomenon is the interaction, through the acoustic nonlinearity parameter B/A of the fluid, between the reflected carrier wave and the low frequency pressure wave transmitted by the moving surface in the liquid. This interaction produces a… 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.
