Pressure distributions reconstructed in the plane z = 0 to use as boundary conditions for nonlinear acoustic simulation of the field generated by the array. (a) –all the elements of the array are switched on. (b) –some elements of the array are switched off to minimize the ultrasonic impact on ribs. The distributions are normalized to the characteristic initial pressure amplitude p0 at the face of each element.
