Abstract: The experiments on small annular water jets performed by Hoffman et al. (1980) are analyzed by using a mathematical model similar to that developed by these authors. Such mathematical model ...

Abstract: A boundary integral equation formulation for dynamic poroelasticity in the frequency domain is presented. The formulation is accomplished using the solid displacements and the fluid stress as ...
