TL;DR: In this article, the wave-induced flow between mesoscopic inhomogeneities has been identified as a major cause of elastic wave attenuation in heterogeneous porous media, and several models for attenuation and velocity dispersion have been developed with varying degrees of rigor and complexity.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple squirt flow model is developed in which all of the parameters can be independently measured or estimated from measurements and the pore space of the rock is assumed to consist of stiff porosity and compliant (or soft) pores present at grain contacts.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of fine layering on the compressional-wave velocities and attenuation coefficients in fluid-saturated rocks is analyzed. But the results for the more realistic case of random layering with exponential correlation reveal more gradual changes of velocity and attenuations versus frequency than those for a periodically layered medium.

TL;DR: In this article, a dispersion equation for a P wave propagating in periodically layered poroelastic medium is obtained using propagator matrix approach applied to Biot equations of poro elasticity with periodic coefficients.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the low-frequency elastic constants and anisotropy parameters of a transversely isotropic (TI) porous medium with linear-slip interfaces.
