On the Current Status of Theoretical Modeling of Acoustic Waves in Saturated Sediments.
Abstract
A brief, critical discussion is given of efforts to develop theoretical models for wave propagation in saturated marine sediments. The modeling of propagation in unbounted media is considered as well as the problem of wave reflection at the water/saturated sediment interface. It is concluded that, while important and substantial process has been made, much work remains, particularly with regard to the characterization of the viscoelastic properties of sediments at low frequencies.
