Abstract
Wave propagation in fluid mixtures is investigated on the basis of effective models of block and layered media. These models are anisotropic fluids described by wave equations. In the equations, additional terms describing wave attenuation are introduced. The attenuation is related to a friction force proporitional to the difference of tangent displacements on the boundaries. Owing to attenuation, the total energy of the wave field decreases steadily and the amplitudes of waves are diminished expotentially with time, which is determined by attenuation coefficients. The attenuation coe.cients are found in the cases where two fluids are mixed completely and where the particles of one fluid are inclusions into the other. The approach suggested enables one to consider more complicated fluid mixtures as well. Bibliography: 7 titles.
