Acoustics of a stratified poroelastic composite (Q1969393)

Summary: We discuss the acoustic boundary layer problem for a poroelastic seabed contacting with a liquid half-space. The problem is addressed using the method of homogenization, where the viscosity coefficients in microscopic equations are independent of the pore size. To achieve the continuity of displacements and stresses at the interface to an arbitrary asymptotic order, we introduce correctors of two different types on each side, which are matched across the interface.
