Abstract

An approach of averaging block elastic-fluid media is proposed, and an effective model for a block medium in which every cell consists of three elastic blocks and one fluid block is constructed. An investigation of the model equations shows that in this model two longitudinal waves and one wave with a concave front set propagate. The limiting cases where the fluid block is narrowed down to a point or where the fluid block occupies the whole cell are considered in the paper. Bibliography: 10 titles.
