Abstract(in English) In this report, the behavior of powder trapped in an acoustic standing wave generated in an ultrasonic waveguide was investigated. A bolt-clamped Langevin transducers (BLT) with a step horn for vibration amplitude expansion was attached to the bottom of an aluminum hemispherical vibrator and driven by a continuous sinusoidal signal with a resonance frequency of 27 kHz and 180 Vpp to radiate high-intensity ultrasound in air. The same ultrasound vibrator was prepared and they were faced each other so that a high-intensity ultrasound standing wave can be generated between them. The powder was successfully trapped around the nodal position of the standing wave. The behavior of the powder levitated in the standing wave was observed and the volume and mass of the powder were estimated from captured images. The mass of the powder levitated by the acoustic radiation force was approximately 4.0 mg in the case of potato starch.
