The propagation of Stoneley waves in a fluid-filled borehole with a vertical fracture is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The borehole propagation excites fluid motion in the fracture and the resulting fluid flow at the fracture opening perturbs the fluid-solid interface boundary condition at the borehole wall. By developing a boundary condition perturbation technique for the...

development of ultrasound technique has not been progressing for evaluating the internal quality of fruits as fast as that of processed foods. in this research for quality assessment of pear fruit (shah miveh variety) an ultrasonic measurement system was constructed to transmit and receive the ultrasonic waves. the apparatus included a pulser-receiver, a pair of 75 khz ultrasonic transducers wi...

The study of the fluid dynamics of violent volcanic eruptions by laboratory experiment is described, and the important fluid-dynamic processes that can be examined in laboratory models are discussed in detail. In prelim•inary experiments, pure gases are erupted from small reservoirs. The gases used are Freon 12 and Freon 22, two gases of high molecular weight and high density that are good anal...

We study experimentally blast wave dynamics on a weakly interacting fluid of light. The density and velocity are measured in 1D 2D geometries. Using state equation arising from the analogy between optical propagation paraxial approximation hydrodynamic Euler's equation, we access hydrostatic dynamic pressure. In configuration, observe negative differential pressure after fast expansion localize...

A new approach to the description of stationary plane waves in ideal density stratified incompressible fluid is considered without the application of Boussinesq approximation. The approach is based on the equation derived by Dubreil-Jacotin [4, 5, 6] and Long [7] with the additional assumption that the mean vorticity of the flow is zero. It is shown that in the linear approximation the spectrum...

We report the development of a continuous wave cavity ring-down spectroscopic (CW-CRDS) diagnostic for real-time, in situ measurement of velocity distribution functions of ions and neutral atoms in plasma. This apparatus is less complex than conventional CW-CRDS systems. We provide a detailed description of the CW-CRDS apparatus as well as measurements of argon ions and neutrals in a high-densi...

[1] We compile and compare petrophysical data from the upper oceanic crust in Hole U1301B, on 3.5 Ma seafloor on the eastern flank of the Juan de Fuca Ridge. Measurements include core-scale (lab-based) and in situ (wireline) measurements of formation porosity, electrical resistivity, bulk density, P wave velocity, and gamma ray emission. A comparison between Hole U1301B data and those from othe...

Wave propagation is used as an advanced tool of determining elastic properties of rocks. In spite of being cheap and non destructive tests of rock mechanics, due to its modernity method is not yet replacing the traditional dear and destructive tests. In order to pave ways of replacing this test and making best use of it all effective factors of such method are to be assessed. One fundamental fa...
