Abstract
This paper addresses itself to the problem of thermoacoustic generatio n by an obliquely incident laser beam in a body of water. Far-field di rectivity pattern of thermoacoustic source (TS) has been studied analy tically and numerically. Our study suggests the possibility of getting highly directional sound beams in a simple configuration.
