Abstract: | A rigid frame, cylindrical capillary theory of sound propagation in porous media that includes the nonlinear effects of the Forchheimer type is laid out by using variational solutions. It is shown that the five main parameters governing the propagation of sound waves in a fluid contained in rigid cylindrical tubes filled with a saturated porous media are: the shear wave number, , the reduced frequency parameter, , the porosity, ε, Darcy number, , and Forchheimer number, . The manner in which the flow influences the attenuation and the phase velocities of the forward and backward propagating non-isentropic acoustic waves is deduced. It is found that the inclusion of the solid matrix increases wave’s attenuations and phase velocities for both forward and backward sound waves, while increasing the porosity and the reduced frequency number decreased attenuation and increased phase velocities. The effect of the steady flow is found to decrease the attenuation and phase velocities for forward sound waves, and enhance them for the backward sound waves. This work is done during a sabbatical leave year granted form the University of Jordan to Dr. Hamzeh Duwairi for the academic year 2007/2008 at the German Jordanian University. |
