Experimental conference : Acousticofluidics, the sound which moves liquids.

The whistling of the wind, the crashing of waves, the patter of raindrops, water dripping from the tap or on the inside of a pipe… Such overflow produces sounds which are more or less harmonious !
And yet, in the link between sound and overflow, the opposite is also true : a sound can generate the overflow of a liquid, deforming its surface, vaporising it into fine droplets.
Acousticofluidics is the study of these phenomena, and has benefited from renewed interest these past few years, notably in relation to the study of mixing liquids in very small tubes (microfluidics).
We will present several examples of overflow generated by acoustic waves, both in audible frequencies and in the ultrasonic field.
