Abstract

An analysis of the propagation behavior of Rayleigh wave has been conducted in an anisotropic layer, such as reservoir rocks overlying a sandy medium. The layer and lower half-space interface have been considered imperfect, whereas a corrugated upper boundary has been assumed. A closed relation of phase velocity and wave number has been obtained as a determinant form. For the numerical interpretation of results, reservoir rocks of triclinic type have been modeled. Some special cases are taken into account. The study examines the simultaneous simulated results of several physical parameters and illustrates the effects of thickness, sandiness parameter, phase velocity, corrugation amplitude, corrugation wavelength, and imperfect Rayleigh wave interface distribution in the structure under consideration, which was created using Mathematica 7. For variations in wave number and phase velocity, diagrams are drawn.
