Abstract

Reflection and transmission of a stepwise pressure wave incident to a partially water-saturated porous medium is investigated. The strongly dispersive character of the phase velocities and damping due to air bubble resonance causes pressure over- and undershoot in reflection and a fast oscillatory disturbance propagating into the porous medium. Theoretical results are compared with new results from shock tube experiments. A qualitative agreement is found.
