Area of Science:

Physics
Acoustics
Kinetic Theory

Background:

Sound propagation in gases is fundamental to acoustics.
The free-molecular regime presents unique challenges due to infrequent molecular collisions.
Understanding wave phenomena requires accurate modeling of gas dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate sound propagation in gases within the free-molecular regime.
To analyze the impact of a receptor on sound wave characteristics.
To introduce and differentiate novel phase velocities.

Main Methods:

Utilizing the linearized collisionless Boltzmann equation.
Analyzing the phase and amplitude of sound perturbations.
Considering the influence of the receptor's presence and proximity.

Main Results:

Receptor presence qualitatively modifies sound propagation characteristics at short distances.
Two distinct phase velocities, differential and integral, are defined.
These velocities exhibit differences within the free-molecular regime.

Conclusions:

Receptor effects are crucial for accurate sound propagation modeling in rarefied gases.
The introduced phase velocities offer new insights into wave behavior.
This study advances the understanding of acoustics in non-equilibrium gas dynamics.
