Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The reflection and transmission of harmonic waves and waves of finite duration through the boundary of the perforated zone of a cased wellbore filled with a fluid are studied. A model of the plane fluid flow in the well (in a quasi-one-dimensional approximation) and filtration absorption of the fluid by the porous medium surrounding the well is proposed. The effect of the quality of the perforation (length of perforation tunnels) on the evolution of the waves reflected from the boundary of the perforated zone of the well is studied.
