Simulation and Experiment for the Position of Standing Wave Levitation

It is important to find the proper levitated positions in the standing wave levitator. Using ANSYS and MATLAB, the standing wave field and the time average potential are simulated with the levitator whose radiating surface and reflecting surface are concave spheres. The simulation results show that the position close to reflecting surface deviates from the central axis, the others in the central axis. Levitation experiments for the light specimens are carried out with the standing wave levitator, which conforms to the simulation results.
