Abstract

The features of propagation of one-dimensional monochromatic waves and dynamics of weak perturbations with axial and central symmetries in liquid-saturated porous medium are investigated. Non-stationary interaction forces and viscoelastic skeleton characteristics are taken into account. The research is carried out within the two-velocity, two-stress tensor model by applying methods of multiphase media mechanics. The system of equations is solved numerically by applying Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm. The influence of geometry of the process on wave propagation behavior is studied.

It is shown that the initial pressure perturbation splits into two waves: fast (deformational) wave and slow (filtrational) one. Each of them is followed by the balance wave: that is, rarefaction wave after compression wave and compression wave after rarefaction wave; at that slow wave and balance one following fast wave may interfere.
