Validation of the slow compressional wave in porous media: Comparison of experiments and numerical simulations
We perform numerical simulation of ultrasonic experiments on poroelastic samples, in which Biot's slow compressional wave had been observed. The simulation is performed using OASES modeling code, which allows to compute elastic wave fields in layered poroelastic media. Modeled were the experiments of Plona (1980), Rasolofosaon (1988), and our own measurements. In all the three situations, a good agreement between experiment and simulations has been observed. This further confirms the fact that Biot's theory of poroelasticity, on which the simulations were based, adequately describes the behavior of the porous materials under investigations at ultrasonic frequencies.
