FIG. 12.

Simulation results on steady endolymph streaming Ū _e for variations of the A sound frequency f, B perilymph velocity amplitude U _p, and C Young’s modulus E. In order to demonstrate the robustness of the analytical fit (Eq. 21), a broad spectrum of parameter combinations [f, U _p, E] is shown here with the following arbitrary choices for the perilymph amplitude: U _p,0 = 2.6 mm/s, U _p,1 = 2.1 mm/s, U _p,2 = 1.2 mm/s, and U _p,3 = 0.9 mm/s. The ring frequency f _π (Eq. 9) is indicated by a dotted vertical line in A, marking the onset of a stop band for acoustic wave propagation according to Gautier et al. (2007). Dashed lines correspond to the respective analytical fit. Symbols denote simulation results. Please note that all plot axes are logarithmically scaled, except in C where the steady streaming is plotted on a linear scale.
