Abstract
The examination of wave motions is traditionally based on the differential equation of D’Alambert , the solution of which describes the motion along a single dimension, while its bidimensional extension takes on the concept of plane waves. Considering these elements and/or limits, the research is divided into two parts: in the first are written the dif ferential equations relating on the conditions two/three-dimensional for which the exact solutions are found; in the sec ond the concepts are extended to the analysis of the propagation of wave motions in porous media both artificial and natural. In the end the work is completed by a series of tests, which show the high reliability of the ph y s i cal-mat h ema t i cal models proposed.
