Abstract

In this paper a set of equations governing the electromagnetic/acoustic coupling in partially-saturated porous rocks in the low-frequency regime is derived. The equations are obtained by volume averaging of fundamental electromagnetic and mechanical equations valid at the porescale, following the same procedure as the one developed in the seminal paper of S. Pride for porous media where the fluid electrolyte fully saturates the pore space. In the present approach it is assumed that the porous rock is partially saturated with a wetting-fluid electrolyte
