Abstract
Solutions of nonlinear acoustic equations describing propagation of strong sound pulses with account of curvature of wave fronts in multi-dimensional geometry are obtained from simple physical considerations. The form of these solutions suggests ansatz suitable for finding solutions of much more general equations of Khokhlov–Zabolotskaya type. General method is illustrated by an example of nonlinear sound pulse focused in one transverse direction and defocused in the other direction.
