Abstract
Detailed analysis showed that the existing theoretical models for near field acoustic levitation are not good enough to interpret the experimental data. The best existing models can only work in a small range of the squeeze numbers even with a fitting parameter. We report here a comprehensive nonlinear model, which takes into account the nonuniform surface vibration profile, gas inertia as well as entrance pressure drop at the film edge. Our model has no empirical parameters and the predicted results agree exceptionally well with our experimental measurements over a wide range of squeeze numbers.
