Abstract
Energy and angular momentum flux density characteristics of an optical nondiffracting nonparaxial vector Bessel vortex beam of fractional order are examined based on the dual-field method for the generation of symmetric electric and magnetic fields. Should some conditions determined by the polarization state, the half-cone angle as well as the beam-order (or topological charge) be met, the axial energy and angular momentum flux densities vanish (representing Poynting singularities), before they become negative. These negative counterintuitive properties suggest retrograde (negative) propagation as well as a rotation reversal of the angular momentum with respect to the beam handedness. These characteristics of nondiffracting nonparaxial Bessel fractional vortex beams of progressive waves open new capabilities in optical tractor beam tweezers, optical spanners, invisibility cloaks, optically engineered metamaterials, and other applications.

Abstract
Stemming from the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld surface integral, the addition theorems for the spherical wave and Legendre functions, and a weighting function describing the behavior of the radial component vp1 of the normal velocity at the surface of a finite circular radiating source, partial-wave series expansions are derived for the incident field of acoustic spiraling (vortex) beams in a spherical coordinate system centered on the axis of wave propagation. Examples for vortex beams, comprising ρ-vortex, zeroth-order and higher order Bessel-Gauss and Bessel, truncated Neumann-Gauss and Hankel- Gauss, Laguerre-Gauss, and other Gaussian-type vortex beams are considered. The mathematical expressions are exact solutions of the Helmholtz equation. The results presented here are particularly useful to accurately evaluate analytically and compute numerically the acoustic scattering and other mechanical effects of finite vortex beams, such as the axial and 3-D acoustic radiation force and torque components on a sphere of any (isotropic, anisotropic, etc.) material (fluid, elastic, viscoelastic, etc.), either centered on the beam's axis of wave propagation, or placed off-axially. Numerical predictions allow optimal design of parameters in applications including but not limited to acoustical tweezers, acousto-fluidics, beamforming design, and imaging, to name a few.

Abstract
The so-called Localized Waves (LW), and the "Frozen Waves" (FW), have raised significant attention in the areas of Optics and Ultrasound, because of their surprising energy localization properties. The LWs resist the effects of diffraction for large distances, and possess an interesting self-reconstruction -self-healing- property (after obstacles with size smaller than the antenna's); while the FWs, a sub-class of LWs, offer the possibility of arbitrarily modeling the longitudinal field intensity pattern inside a prefixed interval, for instance 0⩽z⩽L, of the wave propagation axis. More specifically, the FWs are localized fields "at rest", that is, with a static envelope (within which only the carrier wave propagates), and can be endowed moreover with a high transverse localization. In this paper we investigate, by simulated experiments, various cases of generation of ultrasonic FW fields, with the frequency of f0=1 MHz in a water-like medium, taking account of the effects of attenuation. We present results of FWs for distances up to L=80 mm, in attenuating media with absorption coefficient α in the range 70⩽α⩽170 dB/m. Such simulated FW fields are constructed by using a procedure developed by us, via appropriate finite superpositions of monochromatic ultrasonic Bessel beams. We pay due attention to the selection of the FW parameters, constrained by the rather tight restrictions imposed by experimental Acoustics, as well as to some practical implications of the transducer design. The energy localization properties of the Frozen Waves can find application even in many medical apparatus, such as bistouries or acoustic tweezers, as well as for treatment of diseased tissues (in particular, for the destruction of tumor cells, without affecting the surrounding tissues; also for kidney stone shuttering, etc.).

Abstract
In this paper, we show how appropriate superpositions of Bessel beams can be successfully used to obtain arbitrary longitudinal intensity patterns of nondiffracting ultrasonic wave fields with very high transverse localization. More precisely, the method here described allows generation of longitudinal acoustic pressure fields whose longitudinal intensity patterns can assume, in principle, any desired shape within a freely chosen interval 0 ≤ z ≤ L of the propagation axis, and that can be endowed in particular with a static envelope (within which only the carrier wave propagates). Indeed, it is here demonstrated by computer evaluations that these very special beams of nonattenuated ultrasonic field can be generated in water-like media by means of annular transducers. Such fields at rest have been called by us acoustic frozen waves (FWs). The paper presents various cases of FWs in water, and investigates their aperture characteristics, such as minimum required size and ring dimensioning, as well as the influence they have on the proper generation of the desired FW patterns. The FWs are particular localized solutions to the wave equation that can be used in many applications, such as new kinds of devices, e.g., acoustic tweezers or scalpels, and especially in various ultrasound medical apparatus.

Abstract
Electromagnetic scattering of a zero-order Bessel beam by an anisotropic spherical particle in the off-axis configuration is investigated. Based on the spherical vector wave functions, the expansion expression of the zero-order Bessel beam is derived, and its convergence is numerically discussed in detail. Utilizing the tangential continuity of the electromagnetic fields, the expressions of scattering coefficients are given. The effects of the conical angle of the wave vector components of the zero-order Bessel beam, the ratio of the radius of the sphere to the central spot radius of the zero-order Bessel beam, the shift of the beam waist center position along both the x and y axes, the permittivity and permeability tensor elements, and the loss of the sphere on the radar cross section (RCS) are numerically analyzed. It is revealed that the maximum RCS appears in the conical direction or neighboring direction when the sphere is illuminated by a zero-order Bessel beam. Furthermore, the RCS will decrease and the symmetry is broken with the shift of the beam waist center.

Abstract
The present analysis extends the previous work on the axial acoustic scattering of a high-order Bessel trigonometric beam (HOBTB) from a fluid sphere [F.G. Mitri, J. Appl. Phys. 109 (2011) 014916] to the generalized case of arbitrary scattering from a fluid sphere placed off-axially. The scattered pressure is expressed using a generalized partial-wave series expansion involving the beam-shape coefficients (BSCs), the scattering coefficients of the fluid sphere, and the half-conical angle of the beam. The BSCs are evaluated using the numerical discrete spherical harmonics transform (DSHT). The properties of the off-axial acoustic scattering by a fluid red blood sphere (RBS), chosen as an example to illustrate the analysis, are discussed. 3D numerical computations for the directivity patterns in the near and far-field regions reveal unexplored phenomena that may be useful in applications related to particle entrapment, manipulation or rotation of soft matter using acoustic HOBTBs. Other potential applications may include medical or nondestructive ultrasound imaging with contrast agents, or monitoring of the manufacturing processes of sample soft matter systems with HOBTBs.

Abstract
This work focuses on the interaction of an acoustical quasi-Gaussian beam centered on a rigid immovable sphere, during which at least three physical phenomena arise--the (axial) acoustic scattering, the instantaneous force, and the time-averaged radiation force--which are investigated here. The quasi-Gaussian beam is an exact solution of the source-free Helmholtz wave equation and is characterized by an arbitrary waist, w(0), and a diffraction convergence length known as the Rayleigh range, z(R). Specialized formulations for the scattering and the instantaneous force function, as well as the (time-averaged) radiation force function, are provided. Numerical computations illustrate the variations of the backscattering form function, the instantaneous force function, and the (time-averaged) radiation force function versus the dimensionless frequency ka (where k is the wave number and a is the radius of the sphere); the results show significant differences from the plane wave limit when the dimensionless beam waist parameter kw(0) <25. The radiation force function may be used to calibrate high-frequency transducers operating with this type of beam. Furthermore, the theoretical analysis can be readily extended to the case of other types of spheres (i.e., elastic, viscoelastic, shells, and coated spheres and shells), providing that their appropriate scattering coefficients are used.

Abstract
This work presents the general theory of resonance scattering (GTRS) by an elastic spherical shell immersed in a nonviscous fluid and placed arbitrarily in an acoustic beam. The GTRS formulation is valid for a spherical shell of any size and material regardless of its location relative to the incident beam. It is shown here that the scattering coefficients derived for a spherical shell immersed in water and placed in an arbitrary beam equal those obtained for plane wave incidence. Numerical examples for an elastic shell placed in the field of acoustical Bessel beams of different types, namely, a zero-order Bessel beam and first-order Bessel vortex and trigonometric (nonvortex) beams are provided. The scattered pressure is expressed using a generalized partial-wave series expansion involving the beam-shape coefficients (BSCs), the scattering coefficients of the spherical shell, and the half-cone angle of the beam. The BSCs are evaluated using the numerical discrete spherical harmonics transform (DSHT). The far-field acoustic resonance scattering directivity diagrams are calculated for an albuminoidal shell immersed in water and filled with perfluoropropane gas, by subtracting an appropriate background from the total far-field form function. The properties related to the arbitrary scattering are analyzed and discussed. The results are of particular importance in acoustical scattering applications involving imaging and beam-forming for transducer design. Moreover, the GTRS method can be applied to investigate the scattering of any beam of arbitrary shape that satisfies the source-free Helmholtz equation, and the method can be readily adapted to viscoelastic spherical shells or spheres.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND MOTIVATION Generalized Bessel vortex beams are regaining interest from the standpoint of acoustic scattering and radiation force theories for applications in particle rotation, mixing and manipulation. Other possible applications may include medical and nondestructive imaging. To manipulate heavy particles in a host medium, a minimum threshold of the incident sound field intensity is required at relatively high wave amplitudes such that nonlinear wave propagation occurs and the generation of harmonics may be detected. Thus, predictions of the harmonics generation become crucial from the standpoint of experimental design, and the present analysis should assist in the development of more complete models related to the (nonlinear) scattering and radiation forces under such circumstances. The purpose of this research is to construct a theoretical model for the second-harmonic pressure generation associated with a category of non-diffracting Bessel vortex beams known as high-order Bessel vortex beams of fractional typeα (HOBVBs-Fα). METHOD The weakly nonlinear wave propagation of a HOBVB-Fα is investigated based on Lighthill's formalism. Analytical solutions up to the second-order level of approximation are derived and discussed. Closed-form solutions are obtained, which are expressed as a function of first-order quantities available from the classical linear theory. Lateral profiles of the HOBVB-Fα are computed and compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION The results show that the beam's width reduces and becomes narrower, the side-lobes decrease in magnitude, and the hollow region diameter (or null in magnitude) increases as the order of nonlinearity increases. Furthermore, the nonlinearity of the medium preserves the non-diffracting feature of the beam's second-harmonic generation within the pre-shock range.

Abstract
The scalar wave theory of nondiffracting electromagnetic (EM) high-order Bessel vortex beams of fractional type α has been recently explored, and their novel features and promising applications have been revealed. However, complete characterization of the properties for this new type of beam requires a vector analysis to determine the fields' components in space because scalar wave theory is inadequate to describe such beams, especially when the central spot is comparable to the wavelength (k(r)/k≈1, where k(r) is the radial component of the wavenumber k). Stemming from Maxwell's vector equations and the Lorenz gauge condition, a full vector wave analysis for the electric and magnetic fields is presented. The results are of particular importance in the study of EM wave scattering of a high-order Bessel vortex beam of fractional type α by particles.

Abstract
The production of acoustical vortices-based potential wells for particle trapping is not only restricted to the use of a Laguerre-Gaussian beam. Other useful types of vortex beams include an r-vortex beam, a non-diffracting high-order Bessel and Bessel-Gauss beam, a fractional (diffracting) high-order Bessel beam, a non-diffracting high-order Bessel beam of fractional type α, and a hypergeometric beam to name a few. Representative types of vortex beams are chosen here, but the examples are not exhaustive and additional categories of vortex beams may be reported and investigated. Expressions for the incident acoustic pressure field of various vortex beams are provided. The results should assist in the development of a multitude of vortex-based potential-well models for particle entrapment and manipulation.

Abstract
In this paper, the scattering of an ultrasound zero-order Bessel beam by a rigid sphere in the off-axis configuration is studied. The beam is described through the partial wave expansion. The beam-shape coefficients which represent the amplitude of each multipole mode of the partial wave expansion are computed by numerical quadrature. Calculations are presented for both near- and far-field off-axis scattering. The far-field scattering is examined in both Rayleigh and geometrical acoustic limits. Results demonstrate that the scattered pressure in the off-axis case may significantly deviate from that in the on-axis configuration. In addition, the directive pattern of the scattered pressure is highly dependent on the relative position of the beam to the sphere.

Abstract
The aim of this short communication is to report that Gegenbauer's (partial-wave) expansion, that may be used (under some specific conditions) to represent the incident field of an acoustical (or optical) high-order Bessel beam (HOBB) in spherical coordinates, anticipates earlier expressions for undistorted waves. The incident wave-field is written in terms of the spherical Bessel function of the first kind, the gamma function as well as the Gegenbauer or ultraspherical functions given in terms of the associated Legendre functions when the order m of the HOBB is an integer number. Expressions for high-order and zero-order Bessel beams as well as for plane progressive waves reported in prior works can be deduced from Gegenbauer's partial-wave expansion by appropriate choice of the beams' parameters. Hence the value of this note becomes historical. In addition, Gegenbauer's expansion in spherical coordinates may be used to advantage to model the wave-field of a fractional HOBB at the origin (i.e. z=0).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present research examines the acoustic radiation force of axisymmetric waves incident upon a cylinder of circular surface immersed in a nonviscous fluid. The attempt here is to unify the various treatments of radiation force on a cylinder with arbitrary radius and provide a formulation suitable for any axisymmetric incident wave. METHOD AND RESULTS Analytical equations are derived for the acoustic scattering field and the axial acoustic radiation force. A general formulation for the radiation force function, which is the radiation force per unit energy density per unit cross-sectional surface, is derived. Specialized forms of the radiation force function are provided for several types of incident waves including plane progressive, plane standing, plane quasi-standing, cylindrical progressive diverging, cylindrical progressive converging and cylindrical standing and quasi-standing diverging waves (with an extension to the case of spherical standing and quasi-standing diverging waves incident upon a sphere). SIGNIFICANCE AND SOME POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS This study may be helpful essentially due to its inherent value as a canonical problem in physical acoustics. Potential applications include particle manipulation of cylindrical shaped structures in biomedicine, micro-gravity environments, fluid dynamics properties of cylindrical capillary bridges, and the micro-fabrication of new cylindrical crystals to better control light beams.
