Evolution of linear waves in a liquid in the presence of a curtain of bubbles

We investigate certain features of the evolution of waves in an acoustically compressible liquid in passage through a curtain of bubbles between two parallel planes. We consider the problem of reflection from a plane solid wall separated from the liquid by a curtain of bubbles. Investigations showed that in relation to the duration of the pulse it is possible to select a curtain with corresponding parameters to moderate the effect of the wave on the wall.
