A Finite Element Method For The Approximation Of Waves In Fluid Saturated Poroviscoelastic Media (original) (raw)
2005
This work presents and analyzes a _nite element procedure for the simulation of wave propagation in a porous solid saturated by a single-phase _uid. The equations of motion, formulated in the space-frequency domain, include dissipation due to viscous interaction between the _uid and solid phases and intrinsic anelasticity of the solid modeled using linear viscoelasticity. This formulation leads to the solution of a Helmholtz-type boundary value problem for each temporal frequency. For the spatial discretization, nonconforming _nite element spaces are employed for the solid phase, while for the _uid phase the vector part of the Raviart-Thomas-Nedelec mixed _nite element space is used. Optimal a priori error estimates for a standard Galerkin _nite element procedure are derived.

In this paper we research the problem of acoustics in porous media in three separated subdomains. In each region assumes different physical properties: geometry of the pore, viscosity of fluid places in the middle of the two elastic domains. In this task, we first consider the solution of differential equations. A mathematical model of these physical phenomena described by the initial boundary-value problems for complex systems of differential equations in partial derivatives. Then these equations were solved using two numerical methods: finite element method (FEM) and the traditional finite difference method (FDM). Solutions allows to analyse wave propagation phenomena in porous media. The polynomial functions were used as the interpolation basis-test functions in order to get weak solution for the finite element method. The numerical results of our simulation illustrate the method is obviously effective, especially if we want research physical problems with complex domains in 2D a...
This work presents an iterative domain decomposition finite element procedure to solve the equations describing wave propagation in a porous medium composed of two weakly coupled solids saturated by a single-phase fluid. The plane wave analysis for this model shows the existence of three compressional and two shear modes of propagation. The equations of motion are formulated in the space-frequency domain including dissipation in the solid matrix and frequency correction factors in the mass and viscous coupling coeffi-cients. First order absorbing boundary conditions are employed at the artificial boundaries of the computational domain. Examples showing the application of the algorithm for the numerical simulation of ultrasonic wave propagation in a sample of water saturated partially frozen Berea sandstone are presented and analyzed.

We present an iterative algorithm formulated in the space-frequency domain to simulate the propagation of waves in a bounded poro-viscoelastic rock saturated by a two-phase fluid. The Biot-type model takes into account capillary forces and viscous and mass coupling coefficients between the fluid phases under variable saturation and pore fluid pressure conditions. The model predicts the existence of three compressional waves or Type-I, Type-II and Type-III waves and one shear or S-wave. The Type-III mode is a new mode not present in the classical Biot theory for single-phase fluids. Our differential and numerical models are stated in the space-frequency domain instead of the classical integrodifferential formulation in the space-time domain. For each temporal frequency, this formulation leads to a Helmholtz-type boundary value problem which is then solved independently of the other frequency problems, and the time-domain solution is obtained by an approximate inverse Fourier transfor...
