Abstract
Wave-induced fluid flow (WIFF) at different scales is regarded as a major cause of wave dispersion and attenuation in heterogeneous porous reservoirs. WIFF refers to the fluid flow relative to the solid induced by the fluid pressure gradients created by a passing wave within the fluid phase. According to the length scales of the pressure gradient, WIFF can be classified into macro-, meso‑, and microscopic flow. Seismic exploration, acoustic logging, and ultrasonic measurement use the elastic waves in the seismic frequency band (about 1 ∼ 102Hz), acoustic frequency range (about 104Hz), and ultrasonic frequency range (about 106Hz), respectively. The single-scale model for wave propagation only includes a single-scale WIFF mechanism and can only model strong dispersion and attenuation in a frequency range. In addition, these technologies in different frequency ranges often give mismatched characteristics of the porous reservoirs. In this paper, we develop a multiscale model simultaneously including the macro-, meso‑, and microscopic WIFF mechanisms for fluid-saturated double-porosity media. Based on the calculation results, the effects of the multiscale WIFF on dispersion and attenuation characteristics are investigated. The calculation results show that the multiscale model is suitable for modelling the strong wave dispersion and attenuation over the whole frequency range. Based on the multiscale model, seismic exploration data, acoustic logging data, and ultrasound measurement data of rock samples can be effectively linked and calibrated.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Water Resources provides a forum for the presentation of fundamental scientific advances in the understanding of water resources systems. The scope of Advances in Water Resources includes any combination of theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches used to advance fundamental understanding of surface or subsurface water resources systems or the interaction of these systems with the atmosphere, geosphere, biosphere, and human societies. Manuscripts involving case studies that do not attempt to reach broader conclusions, research on engineering design, applied hydraulics, or water quality and treatment, as well as applications of existing knowledge that do not advance fundamental understanding of hydrological processes, are not appropriate for Advances in Water Resources.
Examples of appropriate topical areas that will be considered include the following:
• Surface and subsurface hydrology
• Hydrometeorology
• Environmental fluid dynamics
• Ecohydrology and ecohydrodynamics
• Multiphase transport phenomena in porous media
• Fluid flow and species transport and reaction processes
