On the propagation of pressure waves in saturated porous media
Tóm tắt
The problem of the propagation of pressure waves through compressible porous media saturated with a slightly compressible fluid is considered. By using Darcy's law the problem is reduced to a mixed initial-boundary value problem for an equation of the heat conduction type with a nonlinear term. The method of quasi-characteristics is used to solve this equation numerically. Solutions of the wave propagation problem for media with different permeability coefficients are presented. A solution of the inverse problem of determining the permeability coefficient using wave-pulse test data is constructed on the basis of a set of solutions of the direct problem.
