Partially Saturated Flow in a Poroelastic Medium
نویسندگان
چکیده
The formulation and existence theory is presented for a system modeling diffusion of a slightly compressible fluid through a partially saturated poroelastic medium. Nonlinear effects of density, saturation, porosity and permeability variations with pressure are included, and the seepage surface is determined by a variational inequality on the boundary.

Partially Saturated Flow in a Composite Poroelastic Medium
(Preliminary Report.) The model formulation and existence theory is described for diffusion of a barotropic fluid through a partially saturated poroelastic composite medium consisting of two components. This includes the Barenblatt-Biot doublediffusion model of elastic deformation and laminar flow in a fissured medium, such as consolidation processes in a system of fissures distributed througho...
متن کاملPlane Strain Deformation of a Poroelastic Half-Space Lying Over Another Poroelastic Half-Space
The plane strain deformation of an isotropic, homogeneous, poroelastic medium caused by an inclined line-load is studied using the Biot linearized theory for fluid saturated porous materials. The analytical expressions for the displacements and stresses in the medium are obtained by applying suitable boundary conditions. The solutions are obtained analytically for the limiting case of undrained...
متن کاملModeling high-frequency acoustics velocities in patchy and partially saturated porous rock using differential effective medium theory
Differential effective medium (DEM) theory is applied here to the problem of modeling physical properties of poroelastic media that are partially saturated with liquid. Typical fluid saturants are air and water, or gas and oil. If the liquid and gas saturants are homogeneously mixed, then we say the medium is partially saturated. If the liquid and gas saturants are poorly mixed, so each constit...
متن کاملScattering of SV waves by a canyon in a fluid-saturated, poroelastic layered half-space, modeled using the indirect boundary element method
The scattering of SV waves by a canyon in a fluid-saturated, poroelastic layered half-space is modeled using the indirect boundary element method in the frequency domain. The free-field responses are calculated to determine the displacements and stresses at the surface of the canyon, and fictitious distributed loads are then applied at the surface of the canyon in the free field to calculate th...
متن کاملAxially Symmetric Vibrations of a Liquid-Filled Poroelastic Thin Cylinder Saturated with Two Immiscible Liquids Surrounded by a Liquid
This paper studies axially symmetric vibrations of a liquid-filled poroelastic thin cylinder saturated with two immiscible liquids of infinite extent that is surrounded by an inviscid elastic liquid. By considering the stress free boundaries, the frequency equation is obtained. Particular case, namely, liquid-filled poroelastic cylinder saturated with single liquid is discussed. When the waven...
