Acoustic radiation force (ARF) is a nonlinear wave phenomenon that occurs when momentum of an incident acoustic wave is transmitted to a scattering or absorbing object.
The ARF phenomenon is actively used in practical applications of ultrasound, especially in biomedicine:
- propulsion and directional movement of kidney stones and their fragments in the human body;
- manipulation of cells, small particles and millimeter-sized objects (e.g., acoustic tweezers);
- acoustic levitation;
- elastography (i.e., measuring elasticity of biotissues);
- biofabrication of constructs from tissue spheroids; etc.
LIMU tasks
- Numerical calculations of the impact of complex beams on millimeter-sized objects
- Development of methods for accurate prediction and efficient use of acoustic radiation force in various medical and industrial applications
- Verification experiments
Activity types
- numerical modeling
- experiment
