Hello everyone, I have a question here:
How can we use the Poroelastic Wave Interface to simulate wave propagation in partially saturated porous media in COMSOL Multiphysics ?
Biot's theory is incorporated in the Poroelastic Wave Interface in COMSOL Multiphysics, however it is based on the assumption that the porous media is fully saturated with a viscous fluid.
Later on many researchers have extended Biot's theory to describe wave propagation in porous media which are not fully saturated with a single fluid but two (in most cases, water and air), e.t. Brutsaert,1964; Garg et al., 1986; Santos et al., 1990 . In doing so, additional parameters will be introduced into the Biot's original formulation, I am wondering if it is possible to simulate this in COMSOL Multiphysics, and how can we achieve this.
Thanks a lot !
May everyone learn and get what they expected here !
