Wave-induced fluid flow (WIFF) can significantly alter the effective formation velocities and cause increasing waveform dispersion and attenuation. We have used modified frame moduli from the theory of Chapman together with the classic Biot theory to improve the understanding of local- and global-flow effects on dipole flexural wave modes in boreholes. We investigate slow and fast formations with and without compliant pores, which induce local flow. The discrete wavenumber summation method generates the waveforms, which are then processed with the weighted spectral semblance method to compare with the solution of the period equation. We find compliant pores to decrease the resulting effective formation P- and S-wave velocities, that in turn decrease the low-frequency velocity limit of the flexural wave. Furthermore, depending on the frequency at which the local-flow dispersion occurs, different S-wave velocity predictions from the flexural wave become possible. This issue is investigated through changing the local-flow critical frequency. Sensitivity analyses of the flexural-wave phase velocity to small changes in WIFF parameters indicate the modeling to be mostly sensitive to compliant pores in slow and fast formations.

A mathematical model of the evaporating liquid–vapor meniscus in a capillary slot has been developed. The model includes two-dimensional steady-state momentum conservation and energy equations for both the vapor and liquid phases, and incorporates the existing simplified one-dimensional model of the evaporating microfilm. The numerical results, obtained for water, demonstrate the importance of accounting for the fluid flow in calculating the effective evaporative heat transfer coefficient and the superheat of the vapor over the liquid–vapor meniscus due to the heat transfer from the heated wall. With higher heat fluxes, a recirculation zone appears in the vapor near the heated wall due to extensive evaporation in the thin-film region of the liquid–vapor meniscus.


In this paper we obtain an analytical solution that describes the effect of seepage flow on the freezing and thawing of saturated porous media. This solution is obtained by using techniques from complex variable theory. Results are presented to show how fluid flow effects the shape and growth rates of frozen regions embedded in the porous media. The effect of a heat sink is included for both single and multiple frozen regions. Examples are presented to illustrate the effect of this ground water flow on the thawing of arctic permafrost with and without the presence of perma­frost protection devices.
