چکیده

Unlike the application of the Biot model for fused glass beads, which was conclusively demonstrated by Berryman @Appl. Phys. Lett. 37~4!, 382–384 ~1980!# using the experimental measurements by Plona @Appl. Phys. Lett. 36, 259–261 ~1980!#, the model for unconsolidated water-saturated sand has been more elusive. The difficulty is in the grain to grain contact physics. Unlike the fused glass beads, the connection between the unconsolidated sand grains is not easily modeled. Measurements over a broad range of frequencies show that the sound speed dispersion is significantly greater than that predicted by the Biot–Stoll model with constant coefficients, and the observed sound attenuation does not seem to follow a consistent power law. The sound speed dispersion may be explainable in terms of the Biot plus squirt flow ~BISQ! model of Dvorkin and Nur @Geophysics 58~4!, 524–533 ~1993!#. By using a similar approach that includes grain contact squirt flow and viscous drag ~BICSQS!, the observed diverse behavior of the attenuation was successfully modeled. © 2004 Acoustical Society of America. @DOI: 10.1121/1.1791715#

Wave Propagation in Water‐saturated Sand and Grain Contact Physics

Measurements in sandy ocean sediments over a broad range of frequencies show that the sound speed dispersion is significantly greater than that predicted by the Biot-Stoll model with constant coefficients, and the observed sound attenuation does not seem to follow a consistent power law. The observations may be explained in terms of the Biot-Stoll model with frequency-dependent complex frame bu...

High-frequency dispersion from viscous drag at the grain-grain contact in water-saturated sand.

Shear viscous drag within the thin fluid film at the contact between grains in water-saturated sand is an important loss mechanism for high-frequency sound in the Biot-Stoll plus contact squirt flow and shear viscous drag (BICSQS) model [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 116, 2011-2022 (2004)]. Couette flow was assumed for the shear drag but it breaks down when inertial effects within the film become signifi...

Shear wave speed dispersion and attenuation in granular marine sediments.

The reported compressional wave speed dispersion and attenuation could be explained by a modified gap stiffness model incorporated into the Biot model (the BIMGS model). In contrast, shear wave speed dispersion and attenuation have not been investigated in detail. No measurements of shear wave speed dispersion have been reported, and only Brunson's data provide the frequency characteristics of ...

Numerical Hydrodynamic Performance of the Stepped Planing Craft and Its Step Height Effect (RESEARCH NOTE)

One of the most efficient methods of reducing drag on planing craft is the use of transverse step on the bottom of a hull. Applying steps on the hull reduces the contact area with water and as a result, it reduces drag of the craft. Planing craft are able to have one or two transverse steps. In this paper, numerical hydrodynamic performance of the stepped planing craft and its step height effec...
