Mathematical modeling of elastic disturbance propagation in a structure containing a porous layer saturated with gas and water
A horizontally layered elastic structure containing a homogeneous porous layer saturated partly with gas and partly with water is considered. The paper is aimed at studying of interaction of elastic waves, caused by local pulse source, with the structure. The boundary-value problem describing the wave dynamics of the structure is formulated. A mathematical model describing distributions of the gas and water in a pore space of the porous layer depending of the amount of the gas accumulated in the layer is developed. The problem is solved with the use of Fourier transform.
