Estimating seismic velocities at ultrasonic frequencies in partially saturated rocks
Seismic velocities in rocks at ultrasonic frequencies depend not only on the degree of saturation but also on the distribution of the fluid phase at various scales within the pore space. Two scales of saturation heterogeneity are important: (1) saturation differences between thin compliant pores and larger stiffer pores, and (2) differences between saturated patches and undersaturated patches a...
متن کاملLow-frequency dispersion and attenuation in partially saturated rocks
A theory is developed for the attenuation and dispersion of compressional waves in inhomogeneous fluid-saturated materials. These effects are caused by material inhomogeneity on length scales of the order of centimeters and may be most significant at seismic wave frequencies, i.e., on the order of 100 Hz. The micromechanism involves diffusion of pore fluid between different regions, and is most...
متن کاملSeismic attenuation and velocity dispersion in heterogeneous partially saturated porous rocks
S U M M A R Y Using a numerical approach, we explore wave-induced fluid flow effects in partially saturated porous rocks in which the gas–water saturation patterns are governed by mesoscopic heterogeneities associated with the dry frame properties. The link between the dry frame properties and the gas saturation is defined by the assumption of capillary pressure equilibrium, which in the presen...
متن کاملFinite element modelling of the effective elastic properties of partially saturated rocks
Simulation of effective physical properties from microtomographic 3D images of porous structures allows one to relate properties of rocks directly to their microstructure. A static FEM code has been previously used to estimate effective elastic properties of fully saturated monomineralic (quartz) rock under wet and dry conditions. We use the code to calculate elastic properties under partially ...
متن کاملNuclear magnetic relaxation and diffusion of gas in partially water saturated natural soil
Salt crystallization is one of the most important reasons for the decay of historical objects. A well known example is the historical city of Venice in which there is a lot salt decay. Reducing salt contamination is important for conservation of old historic buildings. Therefore often desalination treatments are done. The desalination of non-movable objects, like buildings, is usually made thro...
