Abstract

In this study, we consider a non-linear one dimensional model for temperature and pressure waves in fluid saturated porous rock due to abrupt variations in depth. The geological system studied, illustrated in Fig.1, represents a horizontal medium overlying an aquifer in a hypertermal domain. The aquifer consist of a homogeneus isotropic deep horizon identified as a source of temperature or pressure change (for exemple, magma due to intrusion, friction fault phenomena, etc.). This is covered by a homogeneous isotropic upper horizon, with a lower temperature, represented by a fluid-saturated porous permeable medium.
