Fluid dependence of anisotropy parameters in weakly anisotropic porous media

Predicting seismic velocities in isotropic fluid-saturated rocks is commonly done using the isotropic Gassmann theory. For anisotropic media, the solution is expressed in terms of stiffness or compliance, which does not provide an intuitive understanding on how the fluid affects wave propagation in...
