Pressure on the Interface between a Converging Fluid Wedge and a Fast Fluid Bottom.
Abstract
The pressure amplitude and phase distribution along the interface between a tapered fluid layer and an underlying fast fluid bottom were investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Two different theoretical models were compared experimentally: a simple model based on a combination of normal modes and ray theory and an exact solution based on the method of images. The experiment was conducted at 100 kHz with a wedge of silicon oil separated from a large tank of fresh water by a thin Mylar diaphragm. The simple model failed to predict adequately the pressure amplitude and phase along the interface. The method of images gave accurate predictions. (Author)
