Abstract:

Propagation of acoustic waves along the cylindrical bore in a permeable porous medium saturated with water-oil emulsion is investigated. Emulsion is modeled with Newtonian liquid characterized by effective viscosity. High-frequency pulse propagation and attenuation  along the bore and in the surrounding porous medium are numerically studied in a bi-dimensional, axially symmetrical arrangement. It is shown that there are the greater attenuation along the bore and the smaller depth of penetration of perturbation into the porous medium for the water-oil emulsion or oil than for water in the bore and the porous medium.
