In order to clarify the compressibility effect, the perturbed flow field of the supercavitating hydrofoil in subsonic region is examined by a linearized technique and, as a result, the general corresponding rule of the compressible flow to the incompressible one is proposed to obtain the characteristics of the supercavitating hydrofoil. The main contents are summarized as follows: (i) Basic relations between velocity, pressure, and sound speed are shown in subsonic liquid flow within the framework of linearization. (ii) The correspondence of the steady, characteristics of the two and three dimensional supercavitating hydrofoils in subsonic liquid flow to ones in incompressible flow is clarified. Hence we can readily calculate the characteristics by simple correction to ones in incompressible flow. (iii) Numerical calculations are made to show the essential differences of the compressibility effect between liquid and gas flow, and also the interrelated effect between cavitation number and Mach number on the characteristics of the supercavitating hydrofoils.

Abstract This study successfully integrates acoustic patterning with the Two-Photon Polymerization (TPP) process for printing nanoparticle–polymer composite microstructures with spatially varied nanoparticle compositions. Currently, the TPP process is gaining increasing attention within the engineering community for the direct manufacturing of complex three-dimensional (3D) microstructures. Yet the full potential of TPP manufactured microstructures is limited by the materials used. This study aims to create and demonstrate a novel acoustic field-assisted TPP (A-TPP) process, which can instantaneously pattern and assemble nanoparticles in a liquid droplet, and fabricate anisotropic nanoparticle–polymer composites with spatially controlled particle–polymer material compositions. It was found that the biggest challenge in integrating acoustic particle patterning with the TPP process is that nanoparticles move upon laser irradiation due to the photothermal effect, and hence, the acoustic assembly is distorted during the photopolymerization process. To cure acoustic assembly of nanoparticles in the resin through TPP with the desired nanoparticle patterns, the laser power needs to be carefully tuned so that it is adequate for curing while low enough to prevent the photothermal effect. To address this challenge, this study investigated the threshold laser power for polymerization of TPP resin (Pthr) and photothermal instability of the nanoparticle (Pthp). Patterned nanoparticle–polymer composite microstructures were fabricated using the novel A-TPP process. Experimental results validated the feasibility of the developed acoustic field-assisted TPP process on printing anisotropic composites with spatially controlled material compositions.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> An acoustic signature generated by an unmanned aerial vehicle is used in conjunction with tomography to remotely sense temperature and wind profiles within a volume of atmosphere up to an altitude of 120&amp;thinsp;m and over an area of 300&amp;thinsp;m&amp;thinsp;&amp;times;&amp;thinsp;300&amp;thinsp;m. Sound fields recorded onboard the aircraft and by an array of microphones on the ground are compared and converted to sound speed estimates for the ray paths intersecting the intervening medium. Tomographic inversion is then used to transform these sound speed values into three-dimensional profiles of virtual temperature and wind velocity, which enables the atmosphere to be visualised and monitored over time. The wind and temperature estimates obtained using this method are compared to independent measurements taken by a co-located mid-range ZephIR LIDAR and sensors onboard the aircraft. These comparisons show correspondences to better than 0.5&amp;thinsp;&amp;deg;C and 0.3&amp;thinsp;m/s for temperature and wind velocity, respectively.</p>

Abstract As a new type of acoustic-electric conversion method, bi-directional impulse turbine provides great potential for developing large scale and economic thermoacoustic power generators. A test rig for turbine tests in acoustic fields, which are provided through two reciprocating pistons, has been introduced. A three-dimensional numerical model has been used to simulate the whole system. The fundamental characteristics of the turbine in oscillating flow are analyzed. Impact of acoustic field features on the turbine performance has been studied. The results show that the performance is sensitive to the acoustic field. For the test rig, a typical result is that with a shaft power of 187 W, the turbine can reach an efficiency around 32%.
