The scattering of sound by sound in a lossless fluid was discussed at an earlier meeting [Berntsen et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. Suppl. 1 83, S4 (1988), and Darvennes and Hamilton, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. Suppl. 1 83, S4 (1988)]. Here, the effects of absorption are included. The Khokhlov-Zabolotskaya-Kuznetsov equation is used to derive farfield asymptotic results for the sum and difference frequency sound due to the noncollinear interaction of real sound beams radiated from displaced sources. There are two main contributions to the nonlinearly generated sound in the farfield: the continuously pumped sound and the scattered sound. Weak absorption affects neither the locations nor the relative amplitudes of the pumped and scattered difference frequency sound. Strong absorption attenuates the pumped difference frequency sound faster than the scattered difference frequency sound. The scattered sum frequency sound is always attenuated faster than the pumped sum frequency sound, and there may be shifts in the locations of the maxima. Numerical results are presented for the case of Gaussian primary beams. [Work supported by ONR (CMD and MFH), IR&D Program of ARL:UT, and VISTA/STATOIL (JNT and ST).]
