Viscous 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 ...
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 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 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 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...
