Abstract
This chapter deals with the propagation of nonlinear acoustic waves in dilute suspensions of air bubbles in water. It begins with a discussion of the dependence of the sound speed on bubble volume concentration and on frequency, and of the Rayleigh equation for the oscillations of an isolated bubble. Then the Korteweg-de Vries and Nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations are derived for nonlinear waves at low and at high frequency, respectively, and typical features of solutions of these equations are outlined.
