The influence of an acoustic field on the dispersed phase of a fluid has been studied in connection with the application of acoustic coagulation for the precipitation of gases. An acoustic field, depending on the intensity and frequency of the wave, as well as the physical condition of the medium, may cause coagulation, i.e. the joining of small particles into larger aggregates. This paper gives an example of the applications of dispersed phase acoustics, with particular emphasis on recent developments, e.g. the acoustic method of airport fog precipitation. This innovative technology is based on the fact that water can be collected from fog under the influence of acoustic waves. This work presents the new results of the analysis of the action of the acoustic field on the fog.
