Abstract
In order to make it possible to direct fluids in motion such as a sound wave motion without any mechanical means of guidance, it is proposed a method and a device capable of directing the fluid in motion by using a curtain (10) of electromagnetic radiation for exciting the fluid (14) at the curtain to form a fluid directional layer (16) in the fluid.
Claims14
A method for directing a fluid (14) in motion (20) by providing at least one curtain (10, 10′) of electromagnetic radiation surrounding the fluid in motion, for exciting the fluid at said curtain to form a fluid directional layer in the fluid, and generating said motion in the fluid as wave propagation (20) in the fluid inside the curtain surrounding the fluid in motion.
A device for directing a fluid in motion comprising an electromagnetic radiation emitter (60, 70, 90) adapted to create at least one curtain (10, 10′) of electromagnetic radiation surrounding the fluid in motion, for exciting the fluid at said curtain to form a fluid directional layer in the fluid, and an elastic wave generator (50) located inside said emitter (60, 70, 90) for creating said motion.
