지금까지 해양과 해양에서 음향현상의 가시화는 정적이고 평면적이어서 시,공간적으로 끊임없이 변화하고 있는 현상을 이해하는데 어려움이 있었다. 최근에 가상현실에 대한 많은 관심과 연구로 과학적 가시화 기술은 많은 발전을 가져와 그 적용역역을 점차로 넓혀가고 있다. 이에 지금까지 평면적이고 정적이었던 수중에서의 음향현상도 이를 이용하여 구체적이고, 공간적이고 동적인 표출이 가능하게 되었다. 이러한 접근으로 눈에 보이지 않는 바닷속과 그 안에서의 음향현상을 마치 우리가 살고 있는 실제 공간처럼 3 차원적으로 표현 함으로서 해양에서 일어나는 음향현상에 대한 연구/분석의 현실성을 높일 수 있게 되었다. 3 차원 개체로서 입체화 된 음파전달 현상의 가시화로부터 또다른 정보를 얻을 수 있는 가능성에 대해서 검토해 보고자 한다.

소음원 또는 방사음장을 가시화하기 위하여 소음원을 둘러싸는 한 면에서의 음압측정을 통해 임의의 3차원 공간상의 음향 물리량을 예측하는 음향 홀로그래피 방법이 사용되고 있으며 이때 반사파가 존재하지 않는 기본 가정을 만족해야 한다. 반사파가 존재하는 경우에는 반사파를 보정하거나 또는 반사파의 음장이 미치는 영향이 무시할 만큼 작다고 가정하여 음장 예측이 가능하게 된다. 최근 해양연구원에서는 음향 홀로그래피 방법을 이용하여 수중음장을 가시화하는 시스템을 개발하였으며 시스템 검증을 위해 무향수조 내 단순음원을 이용하여 음장예측을 수행하였다. 무향수조 표면에는 흡음처리가 되지 않아 표면 반사파가 존재하나 해석 결과 반사파의 영향이 작은 경우에는 반사파를 무시하고 음장해석의 수행이 가능함을 확인하였다.

다수의 마이크로폰 어레이를 사용하여 소음원에서 방사하는 음장을 예측, 가시화하고 소음원의 시, 공간적 특성을 파악하기 위하여 음향 홀로그래피 방법에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 음향 홀로그래피 방법은 실험적으로 소음원의 특성을 규명할 수 있기 때문에 많은 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있지만, 많은 개수의 마이크로폰과 신호수집장치 등이 필요하기 때문에 그 사용에 많은 제약이 있어 왔다. 음향 홀로그래피 방법중에서 대표적인 평면 음향 홀로그래피 방법을 중심으로 마이크로폰의 개수, 간격등과 같은 측정조건과 함께 마이크로폰을 스캐닝하는 방법둥에 대한 해석을 통하여 장, 단점 및 제한성을 논하였다. 또한 이러한 측정방법에서 나타나는 오차요인을 해석하고 이를 보정하는 방법에 대한 설명과 함께 실험을 통하여 이를 확인해 보았다.

The ultrasonic pressure fields for the 3 MHz linear phased array transducer with sixteen piezoelectric elements of which one may not be operated by defect were simulated theoretically and measured experimentally using a visualization system of the Schlieren method. The simulation results for steering angles of $0^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$ show that the side-lobe patterns of the transducer including a defective element is quite different from the transducer with all normal elements, and those patterns are in good agreement with the results of visualization. It is shown that the defective elements in a linear array transducer can be detected by comparison of the simulated and the visualized side-lobe patterns in two dimensional acoustic fields.

To probe the temperature elevation effect caused by ultrasound, a tissue mimicking phantom was newly suggested. A carrageenan gel was adopted to realize not only the required transparency for visualization but also acoustic characteristics similar to human tissue. To visualize the temperature elevation inside phantom, thermochromic film with a critical temperature of discoloration was introduced. Acoustic characteristics of the tissue mimicking phantom were examined when the concentrations of carrageenan and sucrose changed. As the results, the attenuation coefficient of the phantom could be controlled in the range of 0.44~0.49 dB/cm/MHz, and the acoustic impedance in the range of 1.52~1.77 Mrayls. We could control the acoustic characteristics of the phantom by different concentration of carrageenan and sucrose, and it was possible to examine the temperature elevation caused by ultrasound in the phantom. The suggested method was verified by noninvasively visualizing the temperature elevation due to planar and focused ultrasound using the fabricated phantom.

On-demand droplet generation with tunable droplet volume is fundamental in many droplet microfluidic applications. In this work, we propose an acoustofluidic method to produce water-in-oil droplets with prescribed volume in an on-demand manner. Surface acoustic waves produced from a slanted interdigital transducer are coupled with parallel laminar streams of dispersed and continuous phase fluids. Acoustic radiation force acting on the fluid interface enable generation of droplets in a microfluidic chip. We expect that the proposed acoustofluidic droplet generation method will serve as a promising tool for on-demand droplet generation with on-chip droplet volume control.

The temperature change due to focused ultrasound in dissipative acoustic medium is very important because it provides us much information. To measure the temperature change inside of the dissipative acoustic medium non-invasively, we adopt a temperature sensitive film which has thermochromic particles with critical temperature of $30^{\circ}C$. As a dissipative acoustic medium, agar layer is chosen in the study. The temperature change due to the ultrasound was measured depending on the concentration of the sugar in the agar layer. The color change on the film due to the ultrasound was investigated when the concentration of sugar was from 25% to 40%. As the result, there were rapid increases of discolored area on the film within 2~5 second after the ultrasound driving and the increasing rates decreased after the period. To compare the simulation results were also shown. However in the simulated result, the discolored areas linearly increased from start to 10 seconds. The reason of the differences between the experimental results and simulated ones is that the change of thermal conductivity and heat capacity of the medium were not considered in the simulation program.

Acoustic streaming induced by the microscopic longitudinal ultrasonic vibration at 28.5 ㎑ is visualized between the quiescent glass plate and ultrasonic vibrator by particle imaging velocimetry(PIV) using laser. To investigate the augmentation of air flow velocity of acoustic streaming. the velocity variations of air streaming between the stationary plate and ultrasonic vibrator are measured in real-time. It is experimentally investigated that the magnitude of the acoustic streaming dependent upon the gap between the ultrasonic vibrator and stationary p1ate results in the variations of the average velocity fields as a outcome of the bulk air flow caused by the ultrasonic vibration. In addition. maximum acoustic streaming velocity exists at resonant gap. 18mm that is one of the resonant gaps (H=18, 24, 30, 36㎜) at which resonance occurs. The variation of the local maximum turbulent intensity with axial direction appear to reveal the value of 8%∼70% dependent upon the gap between the quiescent glass plate and ultrasonic vibrator. Shearstress is also maximized at the center region of the vibrator and the vorticity is also maximum and minimum in the neighborhood of the center of the vibrator at which the local maximum turbulent intensity and shear stress exist.

A new real time sound field visualization technique is introduced in this study using PIV(Particle Imaging Velocimetry) technique. Small particles of which density is small enough to follow up the air flow are used for sound visualization. When the driving frequency is in the vicinity of the resonance frequency of the simplified 2-dimensional muffler system, an acoustic streaming is shown and of which velocity distribution is obtained through PIV technique. It is experimentally proved that the present technique is able to visualize and quantify the sound field's energy flow.
