Numerical Simulation in Applied Geophysics (Lecture Notes in Geosystems Mathematics and Computing) (repost)

This book presents the theory of waves propagation in a fluid-saturated porous medium (a Biot medium) and its application in Applied Geophysics. In particular, a derivation of absorbing boundary conditions in viscoelastic and poroelastic media is presented, which later is employed in the applications.
The partial differential equations describing the propagation of waves in Biot media are solved using the Finite Element Method (FEM).
