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 کاملDynamic and Static Green's Functions in Transversely Isotropic Elastic Media
Concise and numerically feasible dynamic and static Green's functions are obtained in dyadic form by solving the wave equation and the equilibrium equation with general source distribution in transversely isotropic (TI) media. The wave and equilibrium equations are solved by using an extended version of the Kupradze method originally developed for isotropic media. The dynamic Green's function i...
متن کاملSeparation of diffracted waves in transversely isotropic media
Imaging diffracted waves can provide useful information about complex subsurface geology and fracture networks. Separation of diffractions from typically more intensive reflected events can be done based on specularity, which measures deviation from Snell’s law. Here, we analyze two formulations of specularity and their applicability to diffraction processing in the presence of anisotropy. We s...
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 کاملViscous propulsion in active transversely isotropic media
Taylor’s swimming sheet is a classical model of microscale propulsion and pumping. Many biological fluids and substances are fibrous, having a preferred direction in their microstructure; for example, cervical mucus is formed of polymer molecules which create an oriented fibrous network. Moreover, suspensions of elongated motile cells produce a form of active oriented matter. To understand how ...
