We propose a scheme for generating high-efficient acoustic focusing capable of circumventing obstacles in the propagating medium. This distinct feature that is highly desirable for practical applications is realized by employing two symmetrical Airy beams, and a different type of acoustic lens is designed by using a zero-index medium to provide the required phase profile with extremely high resolution. Furthermore, the scheme has the flexibility of generating tunable focal length. We anticipate our design to open possibilities for the design of acoustic lens and have potential applications in various important scenarios such as biomedical imaging/therapy and non-destructive evaluation.
