摘要
Frequency-resolved experimental measurements of ultrasonic diffusivity in the MHz range are presented. The samples under study are two-dimensional random arrangements of parallel steel rods immersed in water and exhibit high-order multiple scattering. Their physical characteristics, particularly the density and pair-correlation functions of the scatterers, are well controlled. These synthetic samples are used as phantoms for actual inhomogeneous materials. The resonant nature of the scatterers has a strong effect on diffusivity, which is shown to vary significantly with frequency. This may affect the result of broadband measurements of apparent diffusivity, which can be expected to depend on time and sample thickness, whereas diffusivity is intrinsically an intensive parameter. Moreover, the transport speed is shown to vary drastically with frequency, sometimes by more than 50%, due to a very narrow resonance that slows down transport. Interestingly, this sharp resonance could only be revealed by experiments performed with coda waves, and not with ballistic or coherent waves whose frequency resolution is intrinsically limited from an experimental point of view.
