Dolomitization further modifies formation permeability and fluid flow patterns. Dolostone/calcareous dolostone with large vuggy or moldic porosity is formed by fabric-preserving dissolution and recrystallization, which increases the pore space and facilitates the fluid flow effectively, with permeability ranging from 1mD to 10,000mD. The frame flexibility factor (γ) is a rock physics parameter which is a proxy of pore structure. We find that at given porosity dolostone with larger pores, higher permeability and higher sonic velocity usually has lower values of frame flexibility factor than limestone. After strong compaction and cementation, the limestone frame occludes fluid flow, prevents dolomitization and has permeability as low as 0.02mD. Acoustic impedance inversion confirms that the asymmetric geometry of the Southern Marion platform is shaped by the oceanographic currents, which are caused by the southward-flowing East Australian Current. Three layers of dolostone with large pores in the upper platform reveal strong fluid flow within the carbonate platform, leading to dolomitization and dissolution. These three strongly dolomitized zones follow the platform topography, indicating that the diagenetic fluid flow is driven by oceanographic currents. Three large-pore-formation dolomitization events match well with three highstands of sea level events, illustrating that the highstand of sea level induces the formation of dolomitization zones with large pores. This study demonstrates the positive feedback loop of dolomitization and ocean current circulation, as well as the relationship between dolomitization and sea level change, which could be applicable for better understanding subsurface fluid-rock interactions and dolomitization pore systems in other carbonate environments.","PeriodicalId":54860,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Acoustics","volume":"23 1","pages":"1540005"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1142/S0218396X15400056","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64075742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to understand the acoustic behavior of CNTs in the presence of acoustic waves propagating in gaseous media. A plane sound wave was generated within a rectangular domain by oscillating a solid wall comprising Lennard-Jones (LJ) atoms with the same intermolecular potential as the gas molecules. A CNT was aligned parallel to the direction of the flow at the wall at the opposite end of the domain. Interatomic interactions in the CNT were modeled using the REBO potential. The behavior of the sound wave propagation in argon gas without the CNT was validated by comparison with a previous study. The simulation results show that the thermo-acoustic behavior of CNTs can be simulated accurately using MD and that large-scale MD can be performed in the ultrasonic frequency range. This investigation will contribute to an improved understanding of the acoustic absorption mechanism of these nanoscopic fibers.","PeriodicalId":54860,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Acoustics","volume":"23 1","pages":"1540012"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1142/S0218396X15400123","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64076072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed scheme has been tested with real data from the Songhua Lake experiment where the transmitter is moving at a speed of about 2.5 m/s, and the Yellow sea trial in which the transmitter and receiver are floating freely with waves and currents.

Considering that seismic signals are nonstationary and surface waves have various spectra over time, we proposed S-transform-based time frequency wavenumber analysis technique which allows the dynamic analysis of spectrum over time. The data is first transformed from the time-space domain to the time-wavenumber domain through one-dimensional Fourier transform over the spatial variable, then the variable-factor S-transform is applied over time. Nonstationary filtering is then designed to identify and separate surface waves in complex wavefields, based on its low frequency and low velocity properties, in the time-frequency-wavenumber (TFK) domain. Application to field data illustrates that with this technique, not only is the surface wave effectively suppressed, but also the reflective signals are enhanced, which confirm the validity of the method.","PeriodicalId":54860,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Acoustics","volume":"23 1","pages":"1540010"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1142/S0218396X1540010X","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64076438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the standard approach for reverberation modeling, scattered signals are numerically integrated along the rough surface. In this work, the integration along the rough surface is converted to an integration along the delay time of source signal. It can be expressed in an analytic form under the assumption of ignoring time-dispersion effect. Repetitive eigen-ray searches for calculating scattered signals are avoided by using a split-step marching algorithm for the range based on the geometrical ray-bundle. When the bottom is range-dependent, arrival times of scattered signals from the rough bottom at same range is different according to azimuthal angles and they cannot be directly summed in time domain. The reverberation signals along the azimuthal angles are interpolated to obtain new reverberation signals at certain times. They are summed to compute a time series reverberation signal from the rough sloping bottom. The algorithm is applied to problems of reverberation modeling workshop, and its results are compared with those from the standard reverberation algorithm.","PeriodicalId":54860,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Acoustics","volume":"24 1","pages":"1650002"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64076744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
