Fluid substitution in porous rocks with aligned cracks: Theory versus numerical modeling

The effect of penny-shaped cracks on the elastic properties of porous media is modeled using static finite element modeling (FEM) code. Anisotropic Gassmann theory is used to predict the effective properties of the saturated cracked media from their dry properties. There is an excellent agreement be...
