A particle suspended in a time-harmonic acoustic field experiences a time-averaged force which is called the acoustic radiation force [1]. A vast number of theories exist describing this force for different fluids and particles, and different limiting cases.
We are implementing a wide range of these models in an open-source Python framework that can be used by all researchers in the field to evaluate and compare different results. You can find our project on gitlab: https://gitlab.com/acoustofluidics/gorkov
The project involves studying theoretical models e.g. from Alexander A. Doinikov [2] and implementing them in Python code. This requires some knowledge in object-oriented programming with Python. Experience with version control tools such as Git is advantageous.
