Study of 150-kHz Finite Amplitude Plane Waves Reflected from a Pressure-Release Surface.
Abstract
Time domain measurements of the pressure waveform are made for an initially sinusoidal plane wave as it becomes progressively distorted, is reflected from a pressure-release surface, and returns along the original path. As expected, the 180 deg phase shift upon reflection reverses the sense of the finite amplitude distortion; however, the asymmetry of the incident wave does not allow the reflected wave to return to a perfect sinusoidal form.
