Abstract <p>This paper examines the propagation of a shock wave pulse from gas to a porous medium saturated with a bubbly liquid and describes the process in the case of one-dimensional planar motion under the assumption that the skeleton of the porous medium exhibits viscoelastic behavior. We consider the dynamics of a shock pulse in a porous medium having a sandstone or loose sand skeleton and saturated with a gas–liquid mixture and analyze how parameters of the shock pulse and gas–liquid mixture influence the shock pulse dynamics.</p>
