An Experimental Study on Scale-Dependent Velocity and Anisotropy in Fractured Media Based on Artificial Rocks with Controlled Fracture Geometries
Abstract The scale of the fractures can vary, making the seismic velocity and anisotropy substantially scale dependent. Two mechanisms of the scale-dependent phenomenon may be considered: scattering and wave-induced fluid flow. In this study, we measure the scale-dependent velocity and anisotropy effects through laboratory experiments on porous and non-porous artificial rocks containing aligned fractures. This allows us to isolate the effects of these two mechanisms for the first time, yielding some insights into the scale-dependent phenomenon. For short-wavelength waves, scattering dominates with less wave-induced fluid flow effects. For intermediate- and long-wavelength waves, the P-wave is strongly scale dependent mainly due to wave-induced fluid flow mechanism, and the slow shear-wave is also strongly scale dependent but due to both scattering and wave-induced fluid flow. However, the fast shear-wave is almost scale independent. Moreover, a multi-scale equivalent medium theory can model the P-wave propagation accurately.
