moving things with acceleration fields

Yes, this works for acoustics, for electromagnetics, for electrons, for ions, for sprays, bullets, and randomly placed array sources. Impulse response. Use it to move most anything. Use doppler scans, then push red and pull blue or the opposite. The only reason you can do this now, is that it is possible to image the flows, predict and modify them. Those laser ionization of air in 3D things will help. You basic “ufo” uses that because light is lots faster than any hypersonic vehicle. so the air is moving in slow motion and can be more easily controlled. Magnetic and electric gradients are getting so strong now, you can generation forces small, fast changing and wherever you need them Including testing spaces where distances and properties are ambiguous.
You are really learning and demonstrating a lot, but you are not developing practical tools for billions of people. Field controlled forces, what I call “synthetic acceleration fields” are simple if you collect the information and can get momentum to where it does what you want for the whole space.. Try shaping and moving the flame or convection cells. Use schlieren, use 3D MRI, use thermal 3D, use light sheets.
Look at Google NGram for ( acoustic streaming ). It started in the late 1940s and took off in the 1950s and keeps growing.

It is closely related to (electrostatic streaming) which seems to have been mostly forgotten. It seems to have gotten replaced by electric wind. A steady flow or a nonlinear absorption work.

Just do the impedance calculations for whatever materials and shapes and see what works best. Your pan of fire requires a specific “sound” and timing to match the instantaneous shape and properties of the flame.
And the 3D vector second derivative of the sound has to aim for where you want things to go.
“Bladeless fan”, “electrostatic fan” are good things to make part of a general theory of “moving things with acceleration fields”.
Sometimes I just want to stop you and tell you to go another direction.
