AbstractRecently strong sound wave was proposed to enhance precipitation. The theoretical basis of this proposal has not been effectively studied either experimentally or theoretically. Based on the microscopic parameters of atmospheric cloud physics, this paper solved the complex nonlinear differential equation to show the movement characteristics of cloud droplets under the action of sound waves. The motion process of individual cloud droplet in a cloud layer in the acoustic field is discussed as well as the relative motion between two cloud droplets. The effects of different particle sizes and sound field characteristics on particle motion and collision are studied to analyze the dynamic effects of thunder-level sound waves on cloud droplets. The amplitude of velocity variation has positive correlation with Sound Pressure Level (SPL) and negative correlation with the frequency of the surrounding sound field. Under the action of low-frequency sound waves with sufficient intensity, individual cloud droplets could be forced to oscillate significantly. The droplet smaller than 40μm can be easily driven by sound waves of 50 Hz and 123.4 dB. The calculation of the collision process of two droplets reveals that the disorder of motion for polydisperse droplets is intensified, resulting in the broadening of the collision time range and spatial range. When the acoustic frequency is less than 100Hz (@ 123.4dB) or the Sound Pressure Level (SPL) is greater than 117.4dB (@ 50Hz), the sound wave can affect the collision of cloud droplets significantly. This study provides theoretical perspective of acoustic effect to the microphysics of atmospheric clouds.

Wave Transducer

A spiral sound wave transducer comprised of longitudinal vibrating elements has been proposed. This transducer was made from eight uniform radial distributed longitudinal vibrating elements, which could effectively generate low frequency underwater acoustic spiral waves. We discuss the production theory of spiral sound waves, which could be synthesized by two orthogonal acoustic dipoles with a phase difference of 90 degrees. The excitation voltage distribution of the transducer for emitting a spiral sound wave and the measurement method for the transducer is given. Three-dimensional finite element modeling (FEM)of the transducer was established for simulating the vibration modes and the acoustic characteristics of the transducers. Further, we fabricated a spiral sound wave transducer based on our design and simulations. It was found that the resonance frequency of the transducer was 10.8 kHz and that the transmitting voltage resonance was 140.5 dB. The underwater sound field measurements demonstrate that our designed transducer based on the longitudinal elements could successfully generate spiral sound waves.

Concerning the scattering of OB stars in the HR diagram (Humphry 1980), the effects of overshooting of convective core (Maeder 1984), mass loss (cf. chiosi and Maeder 1986), and generous stability criterion of semi-convection (Stothers and Chin 1976) have been discussed. Here, we will note the dredge up effect is caused by the sound waves emitted from a convective core.The sound mode of nonradial oscillation, with the spherical harmonics Ylm(θ, ϕ) and the frequency ω, can exist in the propagation zone, where the bottom boundary locates at the position of , and the upper boundary does near the photosphere. Here, Ll is called as the Lamb frequency, and cs is the sound velocity.

Preliminary observations show the limitations of teaching materials that have a relationship with spiritual aspects, especially the Qur'an, which is due to the limitations of teaching materials that contain these aspects. Required learning that stimulates students to generalize religious aspects and learn physics. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to describe the feasibility of physics teaching materials containing the Qur'an by using a generative model on sound wave material. This study aims to describe the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the teaching materials developed. The research was conducted on 33 students at class XI MIPA 1 MAN 2 Model Banjarmasin using the ADDIE model. Data was taken from the validation results of teaching materials using validation sheet, lesson plan implementation using lesson plan implementation sheet, and students' learning outcomes at the pretest and post-test using learning outcomes tests. The results of this study were 1) the validity of the teaching materials was in the "valid" category with a value of 3.33, 2) the practicality of the teaching materials was in the "very practical" category with a value of 3.63, and 3) the effectiveness of the teaching material was in the "effective/moderate" category with a value of 0,44. This study concluded that physics teaching materials containing Al-Qur'an verses on sound wave materials using generative learning models are declared feasible to be used based on the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the teaching materials. The implication of this research is the creation of teaching materials containing the Qur'an that are used in schools and creating student habits to link physics and the Qur'an.

The Landau damping of sound waves in a plasma consisting of ensemble of magnetic flux tubes is discussed. It is shown that sound waves cannot be Landau damped in general but under certain restricted conditions on plasma parameters the possibility of absorption of these waves can exist. The possibility of radiative damping of the acoustic waves along the magnetic filaments is also discussed. It appears that the most plausible mechanism of damping of sound waves in a plasma consisting of magnetic filaments can be due to scattering of a sound wave by the filaments.

Guide Vanes

One of the main sources of vibration in Francis turbines is thought to be pressure-wave disturbances generated from the impeller and interference impulses between impeller vanes and guide vanes. A theory is developed which explains the occurrence of severe vibrations caused by the elasticity of the water as a resonance phenomenon between the disturbing impulses and normal modes of vibration in the space between the impeller and the guide wheel. The wave propagation in the fluid, which is assumed to be uniform with no steady flow, is thought to satisfy the well-known sound-wave differential equation without any damping effects. The natural frequencies for one- and two-dimensional pressure-wave oscillations are calculated. The calculations, based on prior knowledge of the velocity of sound-wave propagation, show that a simple theory of one-dimensional oscillations interpreted as rotating sound waves in the annular space is sufficient to predict critical speeds of the turbine. Measurements carried out on a laboratory model Francis turbine for a head of 4.5 m and a capacity of about 1.0 m3/s confirmed the presence of free oscillations and indicated the occurrence of a resonance phenomenon in the annular space.

Studies on the sound characteristics of phylodendron performed by measuring the power of plant leaves with a laser beam found that the leaves of phylodendron could produce sound waves at relatively low frequencies (from 50 Hz to 120 Hz). Furthermore, it was found that those leaves could accept external sound wave stimulations, with frequencies lower than 150 Hz giving the strongest responses. When the plants were under stress, such as drought, the sound emissions from the plant's leaves increased approximately 20-30 dB, while the range of response to external sound wave stimulation decreased 10-20 dB. However, these increased emissions returned to normal six minutes after watering. When the stainless steel needles were inserted into the petiole of the plant, spontaneous sound production was increased about 40 dB for the main vein and 6 dB for the mesophyll. This is our third report on experimental evidence that plants might have a meridian system as in humans and other animals.

Recent work on nonlinear second sound wave propagation and acoustic turbulence in superfluid 4 He is reviewed. Observations of direct and inverse turbulent energy cascades are described. The direct cascade arises due to the strong nonlinear dependence of the second sound wave velocity on its amplitude. The flux of energy injected at the driving frequency is transformed via successively higher harmonics until it is eventually attenuated by viscous dissipation at the short-wavelength edge of the spectrum. The onset of the inverse cascade occurs above a critical driving energy density, and it is accompanied by giant waves that constitute an acoustic analogue of the rogue waves that occasionally appear on the surface of the ocean. The theory of the phenomena is outlined and shown to be in good agreement with the experiments.
