Abstract

This paper presents the results of laboratory tests conducted to investigate ultrasonically enhanced flow rates using specially designed and fabricated equations and equipment. The influencing factors (α_i) which indicated the effectiveness of ultrasound were verified for their effect on a soil matrix with flowing liquid. The test conditions involved various soil types, head losses and ultrasonic energies. Results revealed that ultrasound significantly enhanced flow rates; however, the degree of enhancement and values of the influencing factors varied over the test conditions.
