Abstract
The interaction of sound waves with an aqueous suspension of solid par ticles was analysed experimentally and theoretically. A heretofore unr eported effect of particle concentration in the vicinity of a wave-tub e centreline was observed. The phenomenon is related to the combined e ffect of Rayleigh-type acoustic streaming, jet-like streaming (quartz wind) and drift forces occurring in the presence of a sonic wave in th e suspension-filled tube.
