Effect of β-PVDF Piezoelectric Transducers’ Positioning on the Acoustic Streaming Flows

Effect of β-PVDF Piezoelectric Transducers’ Positioning on the Acoustic Streaming Flows

This paper reports the numerical and experimental analysis of the acoustic streaming effect in a fluidic domain. The actuation of a piezoelectric transducer generates acoustic waves that propagate to the fluids, generating pressure gradients that induce the flow. The number and positioning of the tr...
