Upwind Nite Diierence Traveltime for Anisotropic Media
The rst arrival quasi-P wave traveltime eld in an anisotropic elastic solid solves a rst order nonlinear partial diierential equation, the qP eikonal equation. Since the qP slowness surface is convex, the rst arrival traveltime along downward propagating rays solves the paraxial qP eikonal equation, an evolution equation in depth. A second order upwind nite diierence scheme solves this paraxial...
متن کاملEstimation of Plunge Value in Single- or Multi-Layered Anisotropic Media Using Analysis of Fast Polarization Direction of Shear Waves
Estimation of the fast polarization direction of shear seismic waves that deviate from horizontal axis is a valuable approach to investigate the characteristics of the lower crust and uppermost mantle structures. The lattice preferred orientation of crystals, which is generally parallel to the downward or upward flow of the mantle or crust, is an important reason for the occurrence of fast axis...
متن کاملConditioning bounds for traveltime tomography in layered media
This paper revisits the problem of recovering a smooth, isotropic, layered wave speed profile from surface traveltime information. While it is classic knowledge that the diving (refracted) rays classically determine the wave speed in a weakly well-posed fashion via the Abel transform, we show in this paper that traveltimes of reflected rays do not contain enough information to recover the mediu...
متن کاملInterval anisotropic parameter estimation using velocity-independent layer stripping
Moveout analysis of long-spread P-wave data is widely used to estimate the key time-processing parameter η in layered VTI (transversely isotropic with a vertical symmetry axis) media. Inversion for interval η values, however, suffers from instability caused by the tradeoff between the effective moveout parameters and by the subsequent error amplification during Dix-type layer stripping. Here, w...
متن کاملResonant electromagnetic scattering in anisotropic layered media
The resonant excitation of an electromagnetic guided mode of a slab structure by exterior radiation results in anomalous scattering behavior, including sharp energy-transmission anomalies and field amplification around the frequency of the slab mode. In the case of a periodically layered ambient medium, anisotropy serves to couple the slab mode to radiation. Exact expressions for scattering phe...
