Abstract
The problem of gas bubble motion in an acoustic resonator with a fluid flow is solved using numerical methods. It is shown that the distribution of the bubble concentration, which is nonuniform over the resonator length, is formed upon homogeneous introduction of bubbles. The problem on the bubble concentration distribution the along the resonator axis (with fluctuations of the bubble introduction period taken into account) is considered, and the fluctuation parameters are determined at which the periodic structure of the concentration distribution is preserved. The distribution of bubbles with different sizes over the resonator length is determined. It is shown that a resonator with a fluid flow accomplishes bubble selection by size (the average bubble concentration in the resonator increases with an increase in bubble size). The field in the resonator was calculated taking into account the effect of bubbles on sound velocity and damping.
