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

Figure 3

Experimental setup for data acquisition. The base model is submerged in a water tank. S and G are the shot and receiver positions, respectively. The model dimensions shown are scaled up by 1 : 10000. 2D reflection data were acquired in a direction normal to the fracture strikes. The blue numbers indicate the reflection interfaces.
