Physical Acoustics and Metrology of Fluids, Second Edition

Featuring a broader scope of material, Physical Acoustics and Metrology of Fluids, Second Edition expands and updates material to include additional sections on viral coefficients, viscoelastic and other non-Newtonian fluids, isotropic solids, and thermal and shear boundary layers in a cylindrical resonator. With more practical examples throughout the text, it discusses second-order boundary-shape perturbation theory, sound scattering and absorption in inhomogeneous fluids, simplified techniques resulting from high-speed data acquisition, and ultrasonic sensors for industrial measurements on fluid systems. The Greenspan acoustic viscometer as developed at NIST is also presented.
