Points of interest:

1) "water, with or without contaminants such as air bubbles, is to some extent nonlinear. That is, the change in density caused by a change of pressure of a sound wave in water is not linearly proportional to the change in pressure... frequencies different from the input frequency occur at the output. For sinusoidal acoustic waves, a variety of additional frequencies in water are found to be generated"
