Background Background

 Bubbles in a liquid are very sensitive to acoustic waves  Bubble acoustic cross section >10 times solid particle of the

same size

 Bubbles much more compressible than liquid  Bubbles act like a spring-mass oscillating system

 Mass from liquid inertia  Spring constant from permanent gas, …etc

 Possibility for strong resonance

 acoustic energy absorption, re-radiation

  • The ABS does not use the simple relationships showed

above.

  • It considers sound propagation in a bubble medium
  • Sound Speed Change/Dispersion
  • Attenuation/Damping

The ABS The ABS

 The ABS Acoustic Bubble Spectrometer is an acoustics

based device that measures bubble size distributions in liquids.

 Very sensitive to bubbles  No need for transparent liquid or “container”  Easy to Use  Packaged User-Friendly System  Near Real-Time measurement  Could be part of:

 an on-line system  a distributive placement for large scale applications  a long-term continuous monitoring application  an off-line post-measurement analysis

 Oceanography: Bubble Populations for Acoustic

Background Measurements, Aeration, Mixing,….

 Laboratory & Industrial Two-Phase Flows  Cavitation Susceptibility  Water/Cavitation Tunnels in which Underlying Nuclei

Population Should be Known/Controlled

 Biomedical Devices – Bubbles in Blood, etc.  Measurement of Effectiveness of Aeration Devices  Bubbles/voids and Gas/Air Content of “Engineered”

Specialty Fluids

 Bubble Clouds Used for Acoustic Signature Control  Boiling – High vapor content

  • ABS Acoustic Bubble Spectrometer
  • Near real time measurement of bubble size

distributions

  • Flexibility of measuring volume size
  • No need for optical transparency
  • ABS measurements in Newtonian fluids validated

in controlled experiments with microphotography

  • ABS and microphotography experiments found to

have comparable scatter and give very close results
