Sound propagation in critical binary mixtures

Abstract

A model for sound propagation in critical binary mixtures is studied using renormalization-group and $\ensuremath{\epsilon}$-expansion methods. New scaling relations for the critical attenuation and dispersion are obtained and the corresponding scaling functions are calculated to $O(\ensuremath{\epsilon})$. Our results are in good agreement with experiment.
