Abstract

The coefficient of sound attenuation in a liquid is calculated for attenuation due to both viscosity of the liquid and particles suspended in it. On the basis of analyzing the dispersion relations, a nonlinear integro-differential equation is reconstructed for describing the additional attenuation at high intensities of sound.
