Solid viscosity of fluid-saturated porous rock with squirt flows at seismic frequencies
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT We have developed a macroscopic model for a two-phase medium (solid porous rock frame plus saturating pore fluid) with squirt flows based on Lagrangian continuum mechanics. The model focuses on improved physics of rock deformation, including explicit differential equations in time domain, causality, linearity, frequency-independent parameters with clear physical meanings, and an absence of mathematical internal or memory variables. The approach shows that all existing squirt-flow models can be viewed as microscopic models of viscosity for solid rock. As in existing models, the pore space is differentiated into compliant and relatively stiff pores. At lower frequencies, the effects of fluid flows within compliant pores are described by bulk and shear solid viscosities of the effective porous frame. Squirt-flow effects are “Biot consistent,” which means that there exists a viscous coupling between the rock frame and the fluid in stiff pores. Biot’s poroelastic effects associated with stiff porosity and global flows are also fully included in the model. Comparisons with several squirt-flow models show good agreement in predicting wave attenuation to approximately 1 kHz frequencies. The squirt-flow viscosity for sandstone is estimated in the range of 106-108 cP, which is close to field observations. Because of its origins in rigorous mechanics, the model can be used to describe any wavelike and transient deformations of heterogeneous porous media or finite bodies encountered in many field and laboratory experiments. The model also leads to new numerical algorithms for wavefield modeling, which are illustrated by 1D finite-difference waveform modeling.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
