Abstract

A modified Biot/Squirt (BISQ) model, in which the skeleton with fluid saturating all unconnected pores is described as a viscoelastic media instead of ideally elastic solid, is proposed by unifying the three important mechanisms of wave attenuation in rocks: the Biot-flow mechanism, the squirt-flow mechanism and the viscoelastic mechanism. The relationship between the responds of wave propagation (e.g., phase velocity and attenuation) and the lithology (e.g., viscoelastic constants, permeability and squirt-flow length) is clarified by our improved model. Finally, numerical simulation shows that our predicted results are more consistent with the experimental data of Klimentos and McCann (1990) than those by using the origin BISQ model.
