Abstract

Reflection and refraction of acoustic waves at the interface between pure water and bubbly water are investigated for the case of oblique incidence. From an analysis of analytic solutions, it is concluded that, for a wave incident on the interface from the side of a bubbly liquid, a critical angle of incidence, which depends on the frequency and the parameters of the disperse system, exists, so that, at angles of incidence exceeding the critical one, the wave is totally reflected from the interface.
