Book Propagation of Sound in Porous Media

Download or read book Propagation of Sound in Porous Media written by J.F. Allard and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has grown out of the research activities of the author in the fields of sound propagation in porous media and modelling of acoustic materials. It is assumed that the reader has a background of advanced calculus, including an introduction to differential equations, complex variables and matrix algebra. A prior exposure to theory of elasticity would be advantageous. Chapters 1-3 deal with sound propagation of plane waves in solids and fluids, and the topics of acoustic impedance and reflection coefficient are given a large emphasis. The topic of flow resistivity is presented in Chapter 2. Chapter 4 deals with sound propagation in porous materials having cylindrical pores. The topics of effective density, and of tortuosity, are presented. The thermal exchanges between the frame and the fluid, and the behaviour of the bulk modulus of the fluid, are described in this simple context. Chapter 5 is concerned with sound propagation in other porous materials, and the recent notions of characteristic dimensions, which describe thermal exchanges and the viscous forces at high frequencies, are introduced. In Chapter 6, the case of porous media having an elastic frame is considered in the context of Biot theory, where new topics described in Chapter 5 have been included.

Book Modeling and Measurement Methods for Acoustic Waves and for Acoustic Microdevices

Download or read book Modeling and Measurement Methods for Acoustic Waves and for Acoustic Microdevices written by Marco G. Beghi and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2013-08-28 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acoustics is a mature field which enjoys a never ending youth. New developments are induced by either the search for a better understanding, or by technological innovations. Micro-fabrication techniques introduced a whole new class of microdevices, which exploit acoustic waves for various tasks, and in particular for information processing and for sensing purposes. Performance improvements are achievable by better modelling tools, able to deal with more complex configurations, and by more refined techniques of fabrication and of integration in technological systems, like wireless communications. Several chapters of this book deal with modelling and fabrication techniques for microdevices, including unconventional phenomena and configurations. But this is far from exhausting the research lines in acoustics. Theoretical analyses and modelling techniques are presented, for phenomena ranging from the detection of cracks to the acoustics of the oceans. Measurement methods are also discussed, which probe by acoustic waves the properties of widely different systems.

Book Transient Acoustic Wave Propagation in Stratified Fluids

Download or read book Transient Acoustic Wave Propagation in Stratified Fluids written by Calvin H. Wilcox and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transient acoustic wave propagation is analyzed for the case of plane-stratified fluids having density rho(y) and sound speed c(y) at depth y. For infinite fluids it is assumed that the (in general discontinuous) functions rho(y), c(y) are uniformly positive and bounded and satisfy abs.val (rho(y) - rho(at infinity)) or = C(+ or - y) to the - alpha power, abs. val. (c(y) - c(at infinity)) or = C(+ or - y) to the - alpha power for + or - y 0, where alpha 3/2. Semi-infinite and finite layers are also treated. The acoustic potential is a solution of the wave equation del-squared u/del t-squared - c-squared(y) rho(y) del dot (1/rho(y)grad(u)) = f(t, x, y) where x = (x1,x2) are horizontal coordinates and f(t, x, y) characterizes the wave sources. The principal results of the analysis show that u is the sum of a free component, which behaves like a diverging spherical wave for large t, and a guided component which is approximately localized in regions abs. val. (y - y sub j)

Book Transient Acoustic Wave Propagation in an Epstein Duct

Download or read book Transient Acoustic Wave Propagation in an Epstein Duct written by Calvin H. Wilcox and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transient acoustic wave propagation is analyzed for the case of an unlimited plane-stratified fluid having constant density and sound speed c(y) at depth y given by the Epstein profile 1/c(y)-squared = K sech-squared (y/H) + L tanh (y/H) + M. The acoustic potential is a solution of the wave equation Dt-squared u - C-squared (y) (D1-squared u + D2-squared u + Dy-squared u) = f(t, x, y) where x = (x1,x2) are horizontal coordinates and f(t, x, y) characterizes the wave sources.

Book Multi Component Acoustic Characterization of Porous Media

Download or read book Multi Component Acoustic Characterization of Porous Media written by Karel N. van Dalen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The feasibility to extract porous medium parameters from acoustic recordings is investigated. The thesis gives an excellent discussion of our basic understanding of different wave modes, using a full-waveform and multi-component approach. Focus lies on the dependency on porosity and permeability where especially the latter is difficult to estimate. In this thesis, this sensitivity is shown for interface-wave and reflected-wave modes. For each of the pseudo-Rayleigh and pseudo-Stoneley interface waves unique estimates for permeability and porosity can be obtained when impedance and attenuation are combined. The pseudo-Stoneley wave is most sensitive to permeability: both the impedance and the attenuation are controlled by the fluid flow. Also from reflected-wave modes unique estimates for permeability and porosity can be obtained when the reflection coefficients of different reflected modes are combined. In this case the sensitivity to permeability is caused by subsurface heterogeneities generating mesoscopic fluid flow at seismic frequencies. The results of this thesis suggest that estimation of in-situ permeability is feasible, provided detection is carried out with multi-component measurements. The results of this thesis argely affect geotechnical and reservoir engineering practices.

Book Simulation of Hydraulic Stimulation

Download or read book Simulation of Hydraulic Stimulation written by Mohammad Komijani and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydraulic Fracturing (HF) is an effective stimulation process for extracting oil and gas from unconventional low-permeable reservoirs. The process is conducted by injecting high-pressure fluids into the ground to generate fracture networks in rock masses and stimulate natural fractures to increase the permeability of formation and extract oil and gas. Due to the multiple and coupled-physics involved, hydraulic fracturing is a complex engineering process. The extent of the induced fractures and stimulated volume and reactivation of natural faults and fractures are some of the practical issues associated with hydraulic fracturing. Acoustic Emission (AE) monitoring and analysis are used to probe the behaviour of solid materials in such applications. The process of elastic wave propagation induced by an abrupt local release of stored strain energy is known as acoustic, microseismic, and seismic emission (depending on the context and the magnitude of the event). These emissions can be triggered by material bifurcation-instabilities like slope slipping, fault-reactivation, pore collapsing, and cracking - processes that are all categorized as localization phenomena. The microseismic monitoring industry attempts to relate acoustic emissions measured by geophones to the nature of the stimulated volume created during hydraulic fracturing. This process is full of uncertainties and researchers have not yet focused on both explicitly modeling the process of fracture reactivation and the accurate simulation of acoustic wave propagations resulting from the localization. The biggest gap in the modeling literature is that most of the previous works fail to accurately simulate the process of transient acoustic wave propagation through the fractured porous media following the elastic energy release. Instead of explicitly modeling fracturing and acoustic emission, most previous studies have aimed to relate energy release to seismic moment. To overcome some of the existing shortcomings in the numerical modeling of the coupled problem of interface localization-acoustic emission, this thesis is focused on developing new computational methods and programs for the simulation of microseismic wave emissions induced by interface slip instability in fractured porous media. As a coupled nonlinear mixed multi-physics problem, simulation of hydraulic stimulation involves several mathematical and computational complexities and difficulties in terms of modeling, stability, and convergence, such as the inf-sup stability problems that arise from mixed formulations due to the hydro-mechanical couplings and contact conditions. In AE modeling, due to the high-frequency transient nature of the problem, additional numerical problems emerging from the Gibbs phenomenon and artificial period elongation and amplitude decay are also involved. The thesis has three main objectives. The first objective is to develop a numerical model for simulation of wave propagation in discontinuous media, which is fulfilled in Chapter 2 of the thesis. In this chapter a new enriched finite element method is developed for simulation of wave propagation in fractured media. The method combines the advantages of the global Partition-of-Unity Method (PUM) with harmonic enrichment functions via the Generalized Finite Element Method (GFEM) with the local PUM via the Phantom Node Method (PNM). The GFEM enrichments suppress the spurious oscillations that can appear in regular Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis of dynamic/wave propagations due to numerical dispersions and Gibbs phenomenon. The PNM models arbitrary fractures independently of the original mesh. Through several numerical examples it has been demonstrated that the spurious oscillations that appear in propagation pattern of high-frequency waves in PNM simulations can be effectively suppressed by employing the enriched model. This is observed to be especially important in fractured media where both primary waves and the secondary reflected waves are present. The second objective of the thesis is to develop a mixed numerical model for simulation of wave propagation in discontinuous porous media and interface modeling. This objective is realized in Chapter 3 of the thesis. In this chapter, a new enriched mixed finite element model is introduced for simulation of wave propagation in fractured porous media, based on an extension of the developed numerical method in Chapter 2. Moreover, frictional contact at interfaces is modeled and realized using an augmented Lagrange multiplier scheme. Through various numerical examples, the effectiveness of the developed enriched FE model over conventional approaches is demonstrated. Moreover, it is shown that the most accurate wave results with the least amount of spurious oscillations are achieved when both the displacement and pore pressure fields are enriched with appropriate trigonometric functions. The third objective of the thesis is to develop computational models for the simulation of acoustic emissions induced by fracture reactivation and shear slip. This objective is realized in Chapter 4 of the thesis. In this chapter, an enriched mixed finite element model (introduced in Chapter 3) is developed to simulate the interface slip instability and the associated induced acoustic wave propagation processes, concurrently. Acoustic events are triggered through a sudden release of strain energy at the fracture interfaces due to shear slip instability. The shear slip is induced via hydraulic stimulation that switches the interface behaviour from a stick to slip condition. The superior capability of the proposed enriched mixed finite element model (i.e., PNM-GFEM-M) in comparison with regular finite element models in inhibiting the spurious oscillations and numerical dispersions of acoustic signals in both velocity and pore pressure fields is demonstrated through several numerical studies. Moreover, the effects of different characteristics of the system, such as permeability, viscous damping, and friction coefficient at the interface are investigated in various examples.
