Propagation characteristics of guided waves in a liquid filled pipe embedded in a porous medium

A model of a liquid-filled pipe embedded in a porous medium is built to research its wave propagation characteristics,and to analyze the effect of the parameters of porous media on the dispersion.The dispersion equations are established on the basis of the elastic-dynamic theory of the liquid-saturated porous solid.The characteristic of dispersion and the time domain waveform in pipes of different thicknesses and with different porous-medium parameters are discussed theoretically and numerically.Results reveal that the porosity has little impact on dispersion,and the attenuation of guided wave increases with porosity,whilst the porosity influences the displacement amplitude of the time domain waveform.It is hard to detect the permeability variation of the media by the dispersion.The drawn conclusion can provide some theoretical instruction and guidance for the nondestructive testing of buried pipe.     

Effect of porous surface layer on wave propagation in elastic cylinder immersed in fluid

To study the damage to an elastic cylinder immersed in fluid, a model of an elastic cylinder wrapped with a porous medium immersed in fluid is designed. This structure can both identify the properties of guided waves in a more practical model and address the relationship between the cylinder damage degree and the surface and surrounding medium. The principal motivation is to perform a detailed quantitative analysis of the longitudinal mode and flexural mode in an elastic cylinder wrapped with a porous medium immersed in fluid. The frequency equations for the propagation of waves are derived each for a pervious surface and an impervious surface by employing Biot theory. The influences of the various parameters of the porous medium wrapping layer on the phase velocity and attenuation are discussed. The results show that the influences of porosity on the dispersion curves of guided waves are much more significant than those of thickness, whereas the phase velocity is independent of the static permeability. There is an apparent "mode switching" between the two low-order modes. The characteristics of attenuation are in good agreement with the results from the dispersion curves. This work can support future studies for optimizing the theory on detecting the damage to cylinder or pipeline.

Wave-induced fluid flow in random porous media: attenuation and dispersion of elastic waves

A detailed analysis of the relationship between elastic waves in inhomogeneous, porous media and the effect of wave-induced fluid flow is presented. Based on the results of the poroelastic first-order statistical smoothing approximation applied to Biot's equations of poroelasticity, a model for elastic wave attenuation and dispersion due to wave-induced fluid flow in 3-D randomly inhomogeneous poroelastic media is developed. Attenuation and dispersion depend on linear combinations of the spatial correlations of the fluctuating poroelastic parameters. The observed frequency dependence is typical for a relaxation phenomenon. Further, the analytic properties of attenuation and dispersion are analyzed. It is shown that the low-frequency asymptote of the attenuation coefficient of a plane compressional wave is proportional to the square of frequency. At high frequencies the attenuation coefficient becomes proportional to the square root of frequency. A comparison with the 1-D theory shows that attenuation is of the same order but slightly larger in 3-D random media. Several modeling choices of the approach including the effect of cross correlations between fluid and solid phase properties are demonstrated. The potential application of the results to real porous materials is discussed.     

Influence of the surrounding pressure on acoustic properties of slightly compressible porous media permeated with air-filled bubbles

The effective wave velocity, attenuation, and nonlinear properties of slightly compressible porous media permeated with air-filled bubbles are studied numerically by employing the nonlinear Hooke’s law for different surrounding pressures. Numerical simulations show that the acoustic properties of porous media are greatly affected by the surrounding pressure if the shear modulus of the elastic medium is very small due to the fact that the acoustic wave propagation in porous media are strongly influenced by the nonlinear oscillation of bubbles; moreover, the oscillation of a bubble depends on the equilibrium bubble radius, which is affected by the surrounding pressures.

Measurements of ultrasound velocity and attenuation in numerical anisotropic porous media compared to Biot’s and multiple scattering models

This article quantitatively investigates ultrasound propagation in numerical anisotropic porous media with finite-difference simulations in 3D. The propagation media consist of clusters of ellipsoidal scatterers randomly distributed in water, mimicking the anisotropic structure of cancellous bone. Velocities and attenuation coefficients of the ensemble-averaged transmitted wave (also known as the coherent wave) are measured in various configurations. As in real cancellous bone, one or two longitudinal modes emerge, depending on the micro-structure. The results are confronted with two standard theoretical approaches: Biot’s theory, usually invoked in porous media, and the Independent Scattering Approximation (ISA), a classical first-order approach of multiple scattering theory. On the one hand, when only one longitudinal wave is observed, it is found that at porosities higher than 90% the ISA successfully predicts the attenuation coefficient (unlike Biot’s theory), as well as the existence of negative dispersion. On the other hand, the ISA is not well suited to study two-wave propagation, unlike Biot’s model, at least as far as wave speeds are concerned. No free fitting parameters were used for the application of Biot’s theory. Finally we investigate the phase-shift between waves in the fluid and the solid structure, and compare them to Biot’s predictions of in-phase and out-of-phase motions.     

1D waves in a random poroelastic medium with large fluctuations

We examine the problem of wave propagation in a random poroelastic medium. The porous medium is modelled as a Biot poroelastic solid whose constitutive parameters fluctuate substantially over finite distances. Our main results are asymptotic analytical expressions for the mean velocity-stress wave; this solution incorporates two distinct length scales. The effect of the fluctuations appears on the regular depth coordinate while the parameters of the effective medium arise on a shorter scale of distance. Thus the method that we apply, the theory of averaging, allows us to give a rigorous derivation of the effective medium parameters. It also provides the correction terms which are caused by the fluctuations in the random medium; we find that the relative effect of the latter increases in proportion to ω^1/2 where ω denotes the wave frequency. We also show that the fluctuations introduce significant attenuation of the fast Biot compressional wave and dispersion of the slow Biot wave. These results are illustrated by numerical examples using real oilfield data.     

各向异性渗流条件下弹性波的传播特征

研究了弹性波在非均匀裂纹孔隙介质中的传播特性,建立了各向异性喷射流模型.当弹性波通过裂纹孔隙介质时,由于波的扰动及裂纹和孔隙几何结构的不一致,导致在裂纹内部及裂纹与周边孔隙之间同时存在着流体压力梯度.此时的弹性波波动响应中包含着裂纹内连通性特征和背景孔隙渗透率信息.流体的动态流动过程使得介质的等效弹性参数为复数(非完全弹性),并且具有频率依赖性.当弹性波为低频和高频极限时,介质为完全弹性;当处于中间频段时,波有衰减和频率依赖.裂纹孔隙介质的各向异性连通性(渗透率)对应着各向异性特征频率(当渗流长度等于非均匀尺度时的弹性波频率),波的传播受到裂纹内连通性的影响.在一定频段内,随着裂纹厚度的增加,将出现第二峰值,峰值大小同时受到裂纹厚度和半径的影响.     

Effective medium method of slightly compressible elastic media permeated with air-filled bubbles

An effective medium method is developed for the slightly compressible elastic media permeated with air-filled bubbles, according to the nonlinear oscillation of the bubble, which happens when compressional wave travels through the porous media. The effective Lame coefficients of the porous medium and the nonlinear elastic wave equation are deduced, based on the fact that the micro-unit of the effective medium should have the same stress and strain as the micro-unit of the porous media. The linearized properties obtained by this method are in good agreement with the results of Gaunaurd’s classic theory [Gaunaurd G.C. and überall H., J. Acoust. Soc. Am., 1978, 63: 1699–1711]. Furthermore, the nonlinear coefficient, which is an important property of the porous media, can also be acquired by this method. __________ Translated from Acta Acustica, 2006 (in Chinese) (in press)     

Coherent waves in a multiply scattering poro-elastic medium obeying Biot's theory

Twersky's theory is generalized to multiple scattering by a uniform random distribution of cylinders in a poro-elastic medium. The high-frequency regime only, where no dispersion effects occur in the absence of scatterers, is investigated in the frame of Biot's theory. The scatterers lie within a slab of the host medium, and an incident wave gives rise to a fast longitudinal coherent wave, a slow longitudinal one, as well as a shear one in the slab. The dispersion equations of those three coherent waves are derived. The shear coherent wave propagates independently of the other two, while the longitudinal coherent waves obey a coupled dispersion equation involving conversion terms. Numerically speaking, coupling effects are significant only when forward scattering by a single cylinder of the fast wave into the slow one (or the slow wave into the fast) is larger than forward scattering with no conversion.

Rayleigh wave propagation along the boundary of a non-Newtonian fluid-saturated porous medium

The Frenkel-Biot theory is used to study the reflection of elastic waves from the boundary of a non-Newtonian (Maxwell) fluid-saturated porous medium. The velocity and attenuation of a Rayleigh surface wave propagating along the boundary of the medium are determined. Two models of a fluid-saturated porous medium are used for calculation: with pore channels of a fixed diameter and with a lognormal distribution of pore channels in size. The results of calculations show that, when the fluid in the porous medium is characterized by a small Deborah number (i.e., exhibits non-Newtonian properties), the velocity of Rayleigh waves exhibits a considerable frequency dispersion. The results also suggest that, in principle, it is possible to estimate the Deborah number from the measured frequency dispersion of the Rayleigh wave velocity.
