For over 70 years it has been assumed that scalar wave propagation in (ensemble-averaged) random particulate materials can be characterised by a single effective wavenumber. Here, however, we show that there exist many effective wavenumbers, each contributing to the effective transmitted wave field. Most of these contributions rapidly attenuate away from boundaries, but they make a significant contribution to the reflected and total transmitted field beyond the low-frequency regime. In some cases at least two effective wavenumbers have the same order of attenuation. In these cases a single effective wavenumber does not accurately describe wave propagation even far away from boundaries. We develop an efficient method to calculate all of the contributions to the wave field for the scalar wave equation in two spatial dimensions, and then compare results with numerical finite-difference calculations. This new method is, to the authors knowledge, the first of its kind to give such accurate predictions across a broad frequency range and for general particle volume fractions.

Effective medium theory aims to describe a complex inhomogeneous material in terms of a few important macroscopic parameters. To characterise wave propagation through an inhomogeneous material, the most crucial parameter is the effective wavenumber.
For this reason, there are many published studies on how to calculate a single effective wavenumber. Here we present a proof that there does not exist a unique effective wavenumber; instead, there are an infinite number of such (complex) wavenumbers. We show that in most parameter regimes only a small number of these effective wavenumbers make a significant contribution to the wave field. However, to accurately calculate the reflection and transmission coefficients, a large number of the (highly attenuating) effective waves is required. For clarity, we present results for scalar (acoustic) waves for a two-dimensional material filled (over a half space) with randomly distributed circular cylindrical inclusions. We calculate the effective medium by ensemble averaging over all possible inhomogeneities. The proof is based on the application of the Wiener-Hopf technique and makes no assumption on the wavelength, particle boundary conditions/size, or volume fraction. This technique provides a simple formula for the reflection coefficient, which can be explicitly evaluated for monopole scatterers. We compare results with an alternative numerical matching method.
How do you take a reliable measurement of a material whose microstructure is random? When using wave scattering, the answer is often to take an ensemble average (average over time or space). By ensemble averaging we can calculate the average scattere
d wave and the effective wavenumber. To date, the literature has focused on calculating the effective wavenumber for a plate filled with particles. One clear unanswered question was how to extend this approach to a material of any geometry and for any source. For example, does the effective wavenumber depend on only the microstructure, or also on the material geometry? In this work, we demonstrate that the effective wavenumbers depend on only microstructure and not the geometry, though beyond the long wavelength limit there are multiple effective wavenumbers. We show how to calculate the average wave scattered from a random particulate material of any shape, and for broad frequency ranges. As an example, we show how to calculate the average wave scattered from a sphere filled with particles.
We study the dynamics of the solid to liquid transition for a model material made of elastic particles immersed in a viscous fluid. The interaction between particle surfaces includes their viscous lubrication, a sharp repulsion when they get closer t
han a tuned steric length and their elastic deflection induced by those two forces. We use Soft Dynamics to simulate the dynamics of this material when it experiences a step increase in the shear stress and a constant normal stress. We observe a long creep phase before a substantial flow eventually establishes. We find that the typical creep time relies on an internal relaxation process, namely the separation of two particles driven by the applied stress and resisted by the viscous friction. This mechanism should be relevant for granular pastes, living cells, emulsions and wet foams.
The study of radiative heat transfer in particulate system is usually based on radiative transfer equation (RTE) with effective radiative properties. However, for non-random, densely and regularly packed particulate systems, the applicability of RTE
is questionable due to dependent scattering and weak randomness of particle arrangement. In this paper, a new continuum approach that does not explicitly rely on the RTE is proposed for radiative heat transfer in the densely packed particulate system. The new approach is based on the generalization of the concept of radiation distribution factor (RD) at discrete scale (or particle scale) to radiation distribution function (RDF) at continuum scale. The derived governing equation is in integral form, with RDF as the continuum scale physical parameter that characterize the radiative transfer properties of the system. The characteristics of the RDF for different particulate system (randomly or regularly packed) are studied. The RDF in regularly distributed particulate system is shown to be anisotropic. The continuum approach is verified by using heat transfer simulation at the particle scale, and demonstrated to have excellent performance in predicting the temperature distribution in dense particulate system. This work provides an alternative continuum theory, which will help the analysis and understanding of radiative heat transfer in densely packed media.
We illustrate properties of guided waves in terms of a superposition of body waves. In particular, we consider the Love and SH waves. Body-wave propagation at postcritical angles--required for a total reflection--results in the speed of the Love wave
being between the speeds of the SH waves in the layer and in the halfspace. A finite wavelength of the SH waves--required for constructive interference--results in a limited number of modes of the Love wave. Each mode exhibits a discrete frequency and propagation speed; the fundamental mode has the lowest frequency and the highest speed.
