A　finite　element-thin　layer　element　coupling　method　for　the　near-field　wave　propagation　analysis　in　the　fluid　saturated　porous　media　(FSPM)　is　developed　based　on　the　Biot　u　-U　dynamic　formulation.　The　case　of　the　wave　propagation　normal　to　the　boundary　of　calculating　domain　is　investigated.　The　wave　propagation　equations　are　decoupled　by　the　variables-separating　method.　The　finite　element　method　is　adopted　for　the　space　discretization　and　numerical　analysis　of　the　finite　domain,　and　the　thin　layer　element　method　is　applied　to　discretize　the　infinite　domain　and　construct　the　consistent　artificial　boundary　condition.　This　method　is　validated　and　then　applied　to　the　analysis　to　the　near-field　wave　propagation　problem　of　FSPM.　Parametric　sensitivity　studies　are　conducted　to　analyze　the　effect　of　the　mechanical　parameters,　including　permeability　coefficient,　porosity,　and　Young＇s　modulus　of　solid　skeleton,　on　the　dynamic　response　of　FSPM.　The　study　results　indicate　the　effectiveness　and　efficiency　of　the　developed　method　to　the　near-field　wave　propagation　analysis　in　FSPM.
