Requirements for a transportation system based on ultrasonic traveling waves using the measurement of spatial phase difference

Jie Zhao et al.

Summary: This study derived the relationship between the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR), temporal phase shift, and spatial phase difference, which directly control the speed and direction of a dual transducer-type ultrasonic levitation-based transportation system. Experimental solutions for measuring the spatial phase difference were obtained using a Laser Doppler Vibrometer-based approach.

Fluid pumping by liquid metal droplet utilizing ac electric field

Chun-Lei Song et al.

Summary: We report a unique phenomenon in which liquid metal droplets can pump fluid under a pure ac electric field. Unlike the directional pumping that occurs upon reversing the electric field polarity under a dc signal, this phenomenon allows the direction of fluid motion to be switched by simply shifting the position of the liquid metal droplets. The physical mechanism behind this phenomenon is termed Marangoni flow, caused by nonlinear electrocapillary stress. We developed a physical description by treating the oxide layer as a distributed capacitance with variable thickness and connected with the electric double layer, which showed excellent consistency with simulation results.
