Abstract: The description describes one or more processing devices and one or more hardware storage devices storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more processing devices, to cause the one or more processing devices to perform operations including modeling the porous material as a two-dimensional interface, in a simulation space, in which fluid flows and sound waves travel through the porous material and experience pressure and acoustic losses. The operations also include simulating, in the simulation space, fluid flow and propagation of sound waves, the activity of the fluid being simulated so as to simulate movement of elements within the simulation space and across the interface, where the simulation of the movement of the elements across the interface is governed by the model.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for processing data representing the effect of tortuosity on the acoustic behavior of a fluid in a porous medium. One of the methods includes generating by a first data processing program of the data processing apparatus, a model of acoustic behavior of a fluid in a porous medium including an effect of tortuosity, with the model comprising a time variable indicative of a sound speed of the fluid. The method includes rescaling the time variable of the model based on the sound speed in a fluid in the porous medium. The method also includes simulating the acoustic behavior including the effect of tortuosity of the porous medium based on the rescaling of the time-related variables within the model.
