L. Landau and E. Lifshitz, Fluid Mechanics (Pergamon, London, 1959), Sec. 65, pp. 255–256, considered an acoustic plane wave incident at an arbitrary angle at the interface of two fluids. The radiation pressure at a rigid interface is obtained in the limit when the impedance (the product of the density times the speed of sound) of one of the fluids is infinite.
