Scalar generalized-screen algorithms in transversely isotropic media with a vertical symmetry axis
The scalar generalized-screen method in isotropic media is extended here to trans-versely isotropic media with a vertical symmetry axis (VTI). Although wave propaga-tion in a transversely isotropic medium is essentially elastic, we introduce an equiv-alent ‘acoustic’ system of equations for the qP-waves which we prove to be accuratefor both the dispersion relation and the po...
متن کاملAnisotropy Reconstruction from Wave Fronts in Transversely Isotropic Acoustic Media
This paper considers an inverse problem for a transversely isotropic 3D acoustic medium where there is one preferred direction called the fiber direction along which the wave propagates fastest and there is no preferred wave propagation direction in the isotropic plane, that is the plane orthogonal to the fiber direction. In this medium the parameters to be recovered are: (1) the wave speed for...
متن کاملA transversely isotropic medium with a tilted symmetry axis normal to the reflectora
The computational tools for imaging in transversely isotropic media with tilted axes of symmetry (TTI) are complex and in most cases do not have an explicit closed-form representation. As discussed in this paper, developing such tools for a TTI medium with tilt constrained to be normal to the reflector dip (DTI) reduces their complexity and allows for closed-form representations. We show that, ...
متن کاملAttenuation analysis for heterogeneous transversely isotropic media
Attenuation coefficients obtained from seismic data may provide sensitive attributes for reservoir characterization and increase the robustness of AVO (amplitude variation with offset) analysis. Here, we present an algorithm for ray tracing in attenuative anisotropic media based on the methodology of C̆ervený and Ps̆enc̆ik. Both kinematic and dynamic ray tracing are carried out in an elastic refer...
متن کاملAcoustic wave scattering from transversely isotropic cylinders
Mathematical expressions are derived for the far-field backscattering amplitude spectrum resulting from oblique insonification of an infinite, transversely isotropic elastic cylinder by a plane acoustic wave. The normal-mode solution is based on decoupling of the scalar potential representing the horizontally polarized shear wave from those of the compressional and vertically polarized waves. T...
