The applications are illustrated with field data examples. Many of the acoustic waveform analysis/processing methods described in the book are now widely used in the well logging industry.
Patchy saturation leads to higher velocities and impedances than when the same fluids are mixed at a fine scale. The rock modulus with patchy saturation can be approximated by Gassmann's relation, with the mixture of phases replaced by ...
This book focuses on the applications of geophysics in addressing rock properties for petroleum geoscience, geotechnical, and geothermal applications.
For each rheology, a plane-wave analysis is performed in order to understand the physics of wave propagation. This book contains a review of the main direct numerical methods for solving the equation of motion in the time and space domains.
Moreover, he assumed stationarity, that is, in a given length of composite medium much smaller than the wavelength, the proportion of each material, is constant (periodicity is not required). If each component layer is isotropic or ...
