Turbulence can also occur in sound waves that propagate chaotically in certain media, such as superfluid helium. In the 1970s, Soviet scientists proposed that turbulence occurs when sound waves ...

So-called Rayleigh–Bloch waves can release enormous amount of energy that can damage technical systems under certain ...

Scientists have unlocked a previously unseen behavior of acoustic waves, opening up new possibilities for cutting-edge ...

Using high-frequency sound waves to make tunable optical filters ... precisely and rapidly control the wavelength, amplitude and propagation direction of a laser beam. These capabilities are ...

Moreover, the Westervelt equation, which models sound wave propagation, has been refined to account for local nonlinear effects that are significant in the near field. This algebraic correction ...

These waves are higher frequency than surface waves. P waves are also known as compressional waves, because they push and pull. Particles subjected to a P wave move in the same direction that the wave ...
