“…A particular focus has been made on the study of the compliance and resistivity contribution tensors that characterize penny-shaped cracks with a single partial contact of circular form. Very recently, the effect of multiple contacts between the faces of a penny-shaped crack was investigated numerically in [6], using the methodology developed in [7]. A particular emphasis of their paper is on the compliance contribution tensor in the case of regular lattices of circular contacts.…”

In Section 3.3, following [10], the compliance reduction factor is introduced, for which we derive simple explicit approximations, whose accuracy has been rested by comparison with the numerical results of [6]. Finally, in Section 4, we outline a discussion of the obtained analytical results and formulate a scaling hypothesis for the compliance reduction factor.…”

The problem of a mode I crack having multiple contacts between the crack faces is considered. In the case of small contact islands of arbitrary shapes, which are arbitrarily located inside the crack, the first-order asymptotic model for the crack opening displacement is constructed using the method of matched asymptotic expansions. The case of a penny-shaped crack has been studied in detail. A scaling hypothesis for the compliance reduction factor is formulated.

Abstract. Understanding the properties of cracked rocks is of great importance in scenarios involving CO2 geological sequestration, nuclear waste disposal, geothermal energy, and hydrocarbon exploration and production. Developing non-invasive detecting and monitoring methods for such geological formations is crucial. Many studies show that seismic waves exhibit strong dispersion and attenuation across a broad frequency range due to fluid flow at the pore scale known as squirt flow. Nevertheless, how and to what extent squirt flow affects seismic waves is still a matter of investigation. To fully understand its angle- and frequency-dependent behavior for specific geometries appropriate numerical simulations are needed. We perform a three-dimensional numerical study of the fluid-solid deformation at the pore scale based on coupled Lame-Navier and Navier-Stokes linear quasistatic equations. We show that seismic wave velocities exhibit strong azimuth-, angle- and frequency-dependent behavior due to squirt flow between interconnected cracks. We show that the overall anisotropy of a medium mainly increases due to squirt flow but in some specific planes the anisotropy can locally decrease. We analyze the Thomsen-type anisotropic parameters and adopt another scalar parameter which can be used to measure the anisotropy strength of a model with any elastic symmetry. This work significantly clarifies the impact of squirt flow on seismic wave anisotropy in three dimensions and can potentially be used to improve the geophysical monitoring and surveying of fluid-filled cracked porous zones in the subsurface.
