  "abstract": "This paper reports the phenomenon of resonance weakening and streaming onset in two phase acoustofluidics by performing numerical simulations of a capillary droplet suspended in a microfluidic chamber. The simulations show that depending on the relative acoustic properties of the two phases, it is possible to observe (i)~the decrease in the total acoustic energy as the oscillation amplitude at the wall increases, and (ii)~the onset of acoustic streaming. The impact of these findings in terms of acoustic focusing inside droplets is also discussed.",
