P & S Waves to Strains-liquid solid interface

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the separation of P and S waves at a liquid-solid interface, particularly in the context of seismic issues and strain fields. Participants seek relevant literature and explore the conditions affecting wave behavior and strain characteristics in this scenario.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants express interest in relevant literature on P and S wave separation at liquid-solid interfaces.
  • One participant suggests that the title may refer to seismic issues, though they do not elaborate further.
  • A participant shares a specific article link that discusses P and S wave separation, indicating they had not encountered it before and plan to read it.
  • Another participant outlines specific conditions they are interested in regarding the strain field near the solid-liquid interface, including the presence of a quiescent liquid, thermal conduction, material consistency, and one-dimensional thermal conduction.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the relevance of the topic and the need for literature, but there is no consensus on specific interpretations or implications of the findings discussed.

Contextual Notes

The discussion is limited by the lack of detailed assumptions regarding the physical properties of the materials involved and the specific mathematical treatment of the wave interactions at the interface.

Who May Find This Useful

Researchers and students interested in seismic wave behavior, material science, and the dynamics of liquid-solid interfaces may find this discussion relevant.

Welcome to PF.
Since this is the Earth Sciences thread, the obtuse title probably refers to some seismic issue. I'm not going to guess any more.

What has one tried to find? The title seems to be copied of a title of an article.

Thanks I hadn't seen that article before, but I will read it! Looking to understand the qualities of the strain field near the solid-liquid interface given:

1) quiescent liquid sitting above the solid below
2) thermal conduction that begins through the fluid conducting to the interface with the solid below
3) same species/material
4) 1D thermal conduction
