Over the last 12--15 years, there has been a resurgence of interest in the study of nonlinear acoustic phenomena. Using the tools of both classical mathematical analysis and computational physics, researchers have obtained a wide range of new results, some of which might be described as remarkable. As with almost all trends in science, the reasons for this revival are varied: they range from practical applications (e.g., the need to improve our understanding of high-intensity ultrasound); to the development of numerical schemes which are better at capturing the physics of nonlinear compressible flow; to new acoustic models which lend themselves to study by analytical methods.
