Abstract

Waves of different geometries (plane, cylindrical and spherical) in a porous medium saturated by a three-phase fluid: water, oil and gas is considered. Unified dispersion relations for waves with different geometries are obtained. It is shown that the dependence of phase velocities on frequency is the same for plane, cylindrical and spherical waves (with axial symmetry) and independent of the geometry of the process.
