Effect of Fracture Aperture on P-Wave Attenuation: A Seismic Physical Modelling Study

Figure 1

Comparison of P-waves recorded for the fractured models with different thicknesses or apertures (from [9]). (a) Parallel to the fracture strike. (b) Perpendicular to fracture strike. The wave is attenuated more in the direction perpendicular to fractures.
