A simple model for squirt-flow dispersion and attenuation in fluid-saturated granular rocks.

A major cause of seismic attenuation in fluid-saturated rocks is the flow of the pore fluid induced by the passing wave. At sonic and ultrasonic frequencies, attenuation appears to be dominated by the local (pore-scale) flow between pores of different shapes and orientations. A simple squirt flow mo...
