Abstract We propose a time-domain theoretical approach to predict the acoustic nonlinear field radiated from a concave focusing spherical source with a wide aperture angle. The nonlinear sound propagation is theoretically described by an accurate mathematical model including the continuity and momentum equations. Numerical calculation is implemented by using the finite difference time domain algorithm in the oblate spheroidal coordinate system. To examine the validity of the theoretical model, we calculate the sound fields
radiated from concave spherical focusing transducers with aperture angles 30° and 40° and the results are compared with those obtained by the SBE solution.
