One major cause of elastic wave attenuation in heterogeneous porous media is wave-
induced flow of the pore fluid between heterogeneities of various scales. It is believed that …

Computational physics has become an essential research and interpretation tool in many
fields. Particularly in reservoir geophysics, ultrasonic and seismic modeling in porous media …

Laboratory experiments on partially saturated rocks show that seismic attenuation can be
significant. The main mechanism, wave‐induced local fluid flow (WILFF), is affected by the …

Coseismic static stress changes and dynamic stresses generated by seismic waves cause
changes in water level in wells and in stream flow and alter hydrogeologic properties such …

The effect of pore fluids on seismic wave attenuation in carbonate rocks is important for
interpreting remote sensing observations of carbonate reservoirs undergoing enhanced oil …

The finite element method is used to solve Biot's equations of consolidation in the
displacement‐pressure (u− p) formulation. We compute one‐dimensional (1‐D) and two …

The perfectly matched layer (PML) absorbing technique has become popular in numerical
modeling in elastic or poroelastic media because of its efficiency in absorbing waves at …

A novel laboratory technique is proposed to investigate wave-induced fluid flow on the
mesoscopic scale as a mechanism for seismic attenuation in partially saturated rocks. This …

Different theoretical and laboratory studies on the propagation of elastic waves in real rocks
have shown that the presence of heterogeneities larger than the pore size but smaller than …

The presence of stiffness contrasts at scales larger than the typical pore sizes but smaller
than the predominant seismic wavelengths can produce seismic attenuation and velocity …
