Nonlinear Interaction of Two Sound Beams

Abstract
The nonlinear interaction of two sound beams propagating in the same direction is studied. Westervelt's theory for the scattering of a difference-frequency wave is extended to the case of beams with finite width. A stronger directivity in the scattered sound is obtained, in agreement with the experimental results of Bellin and Beyer.
