A more general two-dimensional wave motion equation with consideration of attenuation and nonlinearity is proposed to describe propagating nonlinear Rayleigh waves of finite amplitude. Based on the quasilinear theory, the numerical solutions for the sound beams of fundamental and second harmonic waves are constructed with Green’s function method. Compared with solutions from the parabolic approximate equation, results from the general equation have more accuracy in both the near distance of the propagation direction and the far distance of the transverse direction, as quasiplane waves are used and non-paraxial Green’s functions are obtained. It is more effective to obtain the nonlinear Rayleigh sound beam distributions accurately with the proposed general equation and solutions. Brief consideration is given to the measurement of nonlinear parameter using nonlinear Rayleigh waves.

The Khokhlov–Zabolotskaya–Kuznetzov (KZK) equation is considered as a model of nonlinear acoustic which describes the nonlinear propagation of a finite-amplitude focused sound beam which is essentially one-directional, in the thermo-viscous medium.1,7,8 The aim of this paper is the study of the existence, uniqueness, stability, regularity, continuous dependence on the initial value and blow-up of solution of the KZK equation in Sobolev spaces Hs of periodic on x functions and with mean value zero. Existence of shock waves for the model with zero viscosity is proved using S. Alinhac's method.2 Global existence in time of the beam's propagation in viscous media is established for small enough initial data. Existence result is proved by two methods: first by the fractional step method in the particular case ℝ3 and s = 3 to justify the numerical results of Thierry Le Pollès25 and second for the general case ℝn and s > [n/2] + 1 by the approach used in Refs. 12 and 13 for the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation.

The theory for sound reproduction of parametric arrays is based on nonlinear acoustics. Due to the nonlinearity of the air, a finite amplitude ultrasound interacts with itself and generates audible secondary waves in the sound beam. A special feature of this loudspeaker is its sharper directivity compared to conventional loudspeakers of the same aperture size.This paper describes the basis of the theory used for parametric arrays, and presents the influence of the main parameters, e.g., carrier frequency. It also describes some signal pre-processing needed to obtain the desired audible sound. A PVDF (polyvinylidenefluoride) film transducer is also studied in order to produce a prototype to confirm the theory.
