The research aims to derive a closed-form expression for acoustic interaction forces between two identical compressible particles.
Solved the coupled scattering problem using fifth-order multipole expansion.
Analyzed interactions in the long-wavelength scattering regime for an ideal fluid.
Derived corrections to the Silva–Bruus theory for finite separations.
Identified an inverse-fourth-power dependence on interparticle distance, with corrections for close-range interactions.
Achieved good agreement with ideal-fluid numerics in the weak-density-contrast region.
Noted larger deviations from experimental data, emphasizing the influence of viscosity and hydrodynamic interactions.
