Abstract

With the objective of improved understanding of frequency-dependent properties of cracked and fluid-saturated media, permeability and forced oscillation measurements are being undertaken on dry and fluid-saturated cracked glass media. In particular, we address some of the issues outstanding from a prior intensive study across a wide range of frequency. Our preliminary results demonstrate the potential of improved methods for the measurement of the very low permeabilities of such cracked glass media, the feasibility of torsional forced oscillation measurements at longer oscillation periods and lower differential pressures, and the benefits of improved alignment of our specimen assembly for complementary flexural oscillation tests. Such complementary flexural oscillation tests on glass-rod specimens are expected to provide further insight into the relevant fluid-flow regimes.
