An Experimental Investigation of Acoustic Propagation in Saturated Sand with Variable Fluid Properties

Wednesday, February 20, 1985 12:00 p.m. Dan Costley Department of Mechanical Engineering The University of Texas at Austin The Biot-Stoll theory describes the propagation of acoustic waves in a saturated, unconsolidated porous medium. The expressions for the attenuation and phase velocity derived from this theory depend explicitly on the viscosity, density, and bulk modulus of…
