When irradiated by acoustic waves, gas bubbles can generate divergent spherical waves, which are frequently used to detect the sizes and number density of the gas bubbles. In this paper, a generalized equation for scattering cross section of spherical gas bubbles oscillating in liquids under acoustic excitation is proposed. Comparing with formulas in the literature, this generalized equation can improve the predictions of acoustical scattering cross section in the near-resonance region with high ambient pressure and above-resonance region.
