Biot's theory for wave propagation in biphasic media is still of great influence on current research and its applications in engineering and geosciences. In particular, the characteristic frequency introduced by Biot is used to distinguish a viscosity-dominated low frequency range from an inertia-dominated high frequency range. An understanding of the transition between these ranges of contrasting dominance of mechanisms is of vital importance for the interpretation of experiments and the basis of new theories. Biot derived the characteristic frequency on the microscale and questions remain regarding its correct transformation to the macroscale. Specifically, three aspects are neglected due to simplifying assumptions on the microscale: inertia of the solid, elasticity of the solid, and a frequency-dependent momentum interaction. Corrections accounting for these aspects are particularly significant for systems with a weak solid skeleton and a rather incompressible fluid. Neglection of these corrections appears however often justified for typical systems of rocks or soils. Experiments were conducted in which waves propagate through elastic tubes of different materials (steel, silicone) filled with various fluids (air, water, Na-Polywolframat). These experiments are supposed to represent the micro-scale mechanisms in single pores. The mismatch between experimental records and theoretical predictions suggests that some of the assumptions made in current theoretical treatments of the problem require further consideration before a reliable upscaling can be undertaken.
