NMO‐velocity surfaces and Dix‐type formulas in anisotropic heterogeneous media

Velocity Analysis for Laterally Heterogeneous Anisotropic Media

Oil, gas, and geothermal reservoirs, and overlying strata are often composed of anisotropic rocks. Proper treatment of anisotropy during the processing of seismic data not only helps to avoid distortions in reservoir imaging, but also provides estimates of the anisotropic coefficients, which carry valuable information about lithology and fracture networks. Accurate estimation of the velocity mo...

Modeling Fluid Flow in Heterogeneous and Anisotropic Porous Media

Permeability distribution in reservoirs is very important for the flow ofwater or oil and gas. In this study, the effects of various heterogeneous permeability distributions on the flow field are simulated using the finite difference technique. We have simulated the flow for two types of heterogeneous distributions, one is Gaussian and the other is self-similar or fractal, the latter being much...

Conductivities of heterogeneous media with graded anisotropic constituents

Electrostatics of Anisotropic Inclusions in Anisotropic Media

There are many ways to solve potential problems for anisotropic mixtures. The nite element method is a popular choice with great exibility that gives the solution in the entire computational domain. EEective medium approximation is a simpler option that only estimates eeective properties. Interface integral equation methods is a third class of methods that has been studied for a long time, but ...

Ptychography in anisotropic media.

This letter describes ptychography in the context of polarized light probing anisotropic specimen (i.e., showing properties of birefringence and/or diattenuation). We established an optimization strategy using a vectorial formalism. We propose a measurement scheme using a set of linearly polarized probes and linear polarization analyzers, which allows the retrieval of the full anisotropy map of...
