Toward The Simulation Of Attenuation: Oscillatory Flow In Porous Rock

Fluid flow in porous rock due to an oscillatory pressure gradient is simulated. We observe distributions of density and velocity in the rock which point to viscous dissipation. We will use this method to seek a deeper understanding of the physics of attenuation.
