Peijing Li – PhD completion

Congratulations to Peijing Li for completing the PhD degree! Co-supervised with Jesse Collis and John Sader, Peijing’s thesis examined the streaming forces acting on small solid particles in viscous fluids.

Thesis Title: The steady streaming flows generated by spherical particles suspended in acoustic waves.

Summary: This doctoral project primarily aims to investigate the association between radiation and streaming forces acting on small solid particles and the patterns observed in the structures of acoustic streaming flows around them. The focus is on understanding the net impact of non-linear effects resulting from an oscillatory flow around a solid particle, encompassing both the dynamic effects on the particle and the structure of the time-averaged flow field around it, considering combined oscillations, compressibility, viscosity, and additional influence of inertia.
