Acoustic Propagation in Poroelastic Media
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe propagation of acoustic waves in porous media is of interest in a variety of areas, including oil well logging, the seepage of contaminants into ground water supplies, and the flow of fluids in packed beds. The aim of this work is to solve the equations of motion for the fluid and solid domains of a porous media, for the propagation of acoustic or small amplitude waves through the media. Porous media are modeled as periodic cubic arrays of spheres, with solid concentration ranging from dilute, through touching, to fully consolidated. Applications of the work are to determining macroscopic properties of porous media, like permeability, from in-situ measurements of wave speed and attenuation.
