β¦ Synopsis
Knowledge of the spatial distribution of intensity loss from an ultrasonic beam is vital to bioeffect predictions such as heating and streaming. A method for calculating the distribution of intensity loss over a finite-amplitude ultrasonic beam is described. The technique demonstrates that the location of peak intensity loss varies considerably with drive level for a plane circular source, as does the overall distribution of intensity loss across the beam. The effects are shown to be less pronounced but still significant for a focused source.
