Nonlinear effect is partially taken into account by numerically calculating the nonlinear advective derivative of particle velocity. Due to the nonlinear effect, numerical simulations result in gradual shift of mean position of a fluid parcel to higher temperature side of a stack, which is the Stokes drift. The velocity of actual acoustic streaming is the sum of the Stokes drift velocity and the mean Eulerian velocity at a fixed point estimated by experimentally or numerically. The refined numerical simulations of evaporation and condensation of water vapor in a wet stack using the model developed by the authors [J. Acoust. Soc.

Acoust. Soc. Am. 140, 3435 (2016)]. Hugonions are particle-like hydrodynamic discontinuities that travel, interact with one another, and annihilate. In this paper, we demonstrate that the concept of hugonions can be extended to detonation waves in reacting media, in which the chemical reaction of positive thermicity leads to different equations of state ahead and behind the detonation shock. The Chapman-Jouguet (CJ) model of detonation is recast in such a way that the D-discussion remains the same as in the classical CJ theory while the piston problem is solved more efficiently using hugonions. Tested for both non-reacting (the Sod shock tube problem) and reacting (1-D detonation waves) media, the hugonion-based approach is shown to be superior in speed to the existing computational methods such as Godunov’s scheme.","PeriodicalId":20469,"journal":{"name":"Proc.

To try to explain this phenomenon we model the nonlinear pulse as a sum of harmonic signals. The phase of each harmonic signal differs from that of a plane wave of same frequency and same origin by a unique phase angle: the phase parameter Psi. For physical pulses, Psi varies between -pi/2 for no amplitude asymmetry and 0 for maximum asymmetry. Using numerical simulations we compute the amplitude of the harmonic components of a signal propagating nonlinearly and generated by a piston source. As the input pressure level increases, Psi gets closer to 0 at the shock distance leading to a larger peak-positive to peak-negative pressure ratio. Beyond the shock distance Psi tends faster towards -pi/2 with increasing input pressure. The variations of Psi are also linked to the 90 degree phase shift of the fundamental signal from near to far field.

The linear stress is the generalized Hooke’s law involving only the fourth-rank elastic stiffness tensor. The nonlinear stress comes from the product of the fourth- and sixth-rank tensors, and the spatial derivatives of the displacement vector. In a nonlinear isotropic medium, we show that the speeds of P- and S-waves generated by a time-harmonic source-function are not constant over time.
