Results of a systematic investigation of a high intensity sound beam from a plane circular transducer are presented for a large range of excitation levels. The ratio of the shock formation distance to the Rayleigh distance ranges from 1.7 to 0.06. A detailed description of the experimental setup is given. Problems encountered when calibrating highly intense and highly directive sound sources are discussed, and a novel method of calibration is proposed. Experimental results for the case of cw excitation are presented and compared with a simulation using the Bergen Code, thus allowing to assert the usefulness of the model (Khokhlov-Zabolotskaya-Kuznetsov equation) and of the numerical algorithm (spectral decomposition and finite difference method of the transformed beam equation) for high intensity sound beams. A new effect, nonlinear defocusing of the beam, is uncovered. (C) 1995 Acoustical Society of America.
