Effect of fluid distribution on compressional wave propagation in partially saturated rocks

Effect of fluid distribution on compressional wave propagation in partially saturated rocks

Partial saturation of porous rock by two fluids substantially affects compressional wave propagation. In particular, partial saturation causes significant attenuation and dispersion due to wave-induced fluid flow. Such flow arises when a passing wave induces different fluid pressures in regions of r...
