The conventional cloak has been studied in vast space while the open cloaking is explored in a few articles and there is a dire need for further investigations in this field. The open cloaks provide a way to exchange information data from the cloaked region to outside and vice versa. In this work, we have investigated the open cloaking phenomenon in acoustic fields at an audible frequency. This study will be helpful in developing a Multiphysics open cloaking platform and cloaked will enable to transfer or prohibition of the exchange of material from one region to another.

Chuprov’s interference invariant (II) well describes the properties of a sound field in shallow water. However, the question of how applicable Chuprov’s II concept is to deep water, where the patterns of sound field decay with distance are more complex has been insufficiently studied. Therefore, the authors studied the II properties in the near and far fields of acoustic illumination, as well as in the shadow zone. A new definition of the invariant was proposed and studied, and its characteristics were compared with Chuprov’s II as a function of distance, reception and emission depths, and summer or winter propagation conditions. The new invariant is called the phase-energy invariant (PEI), since orthogonal components of the phase gradient are used to describe the spatial sound energy distribution. The stability of the new invariant, its independence on different influencing factors, and its natural change with distance from zero to one are shown. It has been established that in winter conditions, at almost all distances, the PEI is equal to unity, and the II does not have stable values and varies jumpwise over a very wide range. In summer conditions, in the shadow zone, with increasing distance, the PEI increases, just like the II, from close to zero to one. In the near and far fields of acoustic illumination, the PEI is approximately equal to unity, and the II in these zones, both in summer and winter, is characterized by unlimited oscillations, caused by division by a value close to zero. It is shown that the definition of PEI is valid both in single-mode waveguides and in free unbounded space with a dispersive medium.

An array consisting of three sensors was used for correlation measurements of thermal acoustic radiation. For the first time, all cross-correlation functions were obtained for each pair of sensors. The measurements were carried out at two positions of the source (a heated narrow Teflon cylinder), the distance between which was equal to half the spatial period of the cross-correlation function of adjacent sensors. The measured correlation functions were in antiphase, which corresponds to the calculated correlation functions of thermal acoustic radiation. To pass from correlation functions to temperature distribution, spatial cross-correlation functions for adjacent and the outermost sensors in the array are summed. The correlation methodology makes it possible to significantly increase the spatial resolution of the method.

The acoustic holography method was used to characterize a therapeutic focused fully populated 256-element ultrasonic transducer array. Elements of the array with the shape of equal area polygons are densely arranged in an irregular pattern on a spherically concave surface with a radius of curvature of 150 mm and a diameter of 200 mm. The array has a central frequency of 1.2 MHz and is designed to operate in water. The performance of individual array elements was studied based on the holographically reconstructed normal velocity distribution over the array surface. It was shown that with the same electrical signals applied to the elements, their acoustic responses had a phase deviation relative to the nominal values, which can be caused either by the asphericity of the array surface, or by the introduction of additional phase delays by the electrical matching network. To compensate for the detected parasitic phase shifts of the elements and restore the effective sphericity of the radiating surface, the Verasonics V-1 control system was used. The hologram measured after making the correction, as well as the shape of the focal region and acoustic pressure magnitude at the focus, separately measured by a hydrophone, showed that the proposed method reconstructed the nominal operating parameters of the array with high accuracy.
