Compressional waves in saturated porous media are relevant to many fields from oil
exploration to diagnostic of human cancellous bone and can be used to interpret physical …

Thorough understanding of seismic signatures in cracked rocks is essential to estimate rock
physical properties. Wave-induced fluid flow (or diffusion), scattering and Biot's global flow …

The hydraulic and mechanical characterization of fractures is crucial for a wide range of
pertinent applications, such as geothermal energy production, hydrocarbon exploration, CO …

The elastic compliance of a fracture can be spatially varying, reflecting the variation of
microscale properties of the fracture, eg, aperture, contact asperities, and fracture infill …

We have used the spectral-element method (SEM) to simulate 3D acoustic wavefields in the
fluid-filled borehole embedded in fractured media. The fractures are characterized by the …

The amplitude of shear waves is attenuated when passing through horizontal fractures
crossing a borehole. In this study, we investigate the amplitude attenuation of shear waves …

Propagation of pore pressure and stress in water‐saturated elastic porous media is
theoretically investigated when considering the Darcy‐Brinkman law. The wave mode …

A shallow, hydrothermally active, fault zone embedded in fractured crystalline rocks of the
Central Swiss Alps has been drilled and geophysically explored in view of its potential …

Fluid‐filled fractures and fissures often determine the pathways and volume of fluid
movement. They are critically important in crustal seismology and in the exploration of …

It has been demonstrated in both numerical modeling and lab experiments that a fluid-filled
fracture can be a subsurface pressure amplifier to a weak driving force such as an incident …
