The theory of sound propagation in macroscopically isotropic and homogeneous porous media saturated with superfluid 4 He has been developed neglecting all damping processes. The case when the normal fluid component is locked inside a porous medium by viscous forces is investigated in detail. It is shown that in this case one shear wave and two longitudinal, fast and slow, waves exist. Fast wave as well as slow wave is accompanied with temperature oscillations. The velocities of these waves are obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
