Abstract

Recently, the phenomena of streaming suppression and relocation of inhomogeneous miscible fluids under acoustic fields were explained using the hypothesis on mean Eulerian pressure. In this work, we derive the expression for the acoustic body force without relying on any prior assumptions regarding the second-order Eulerian pressure. We present a theory of nonlinear acoustics for inhomogeneous fluids from first principles, which explains streaming suppression and acoustic relocation in both miscible and immiscible inhomogeneous fluids inside a microchannel. This theory predicts the relocation of higher impedance fluids to pressure nodes of the standing wave, which agrees with recent experiments.
