Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Particle image velocimetry was used to study the structure of stationary acoustic flows on a solid surface subjected to acoustic radiation along the normal to the prefocal and postfocal planes of a spherical concentrator. The results of model experiments were used for rapid growth of water-soluble single crystals.
