Regular grids travel time calculation – a practical Huygens wavefront expansion approach
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a practical regular grid wave traveltime calculation that is based on Huygens wavefront expansion and grid traveltime mapping. Wavefront expansion is carried out by finite difference approximations to the equations that are equivalent to the Eikonal equation with a fixed time interval. Mapping traveltime from wavefront to regular grids is based on a dynamic ray tracing paraxial approximation.

Tomography without Rays
We present two new techniques for the inversion of first-arrival times to estimate velocity structure. These travel-time inversion techniques are unique in that they do not require the calculation of ray paths. First-arrival times are calculated using a finite-difference scheme that iteratively solves the eikonal equations for the position of the wavefront. The first inversion technique is a di...
متن کاملPath Planning for UAVs in Time-Varying Winds
In this paper we introduce a new approach, called symbolic wavefront expansion, determining both the path and the departure time minimizing the travel time of a UAV in presence of dynamic wind fields. The key idea of this approach is to manipulate functions instead of numerical values.
متن کاملReflection, Refraction and the Prism
Huygens’ principle can be used to determine various experimentally verifiable and predictable behavior of the path of light through any optical system. However, as seen in the chapter on Light, the Huygens wavefront construction can be become complicated, especially in systems with a large number of optical components. A simpler approach to track the behavior of light is based on the propagatio...
متن کامل3-D traveltime computation by Huygens wavefront tracing
In this paper, I present a 3-D implementation of Huygens wavefront tracing. The threedimensional version of the method retains the characteristics of the two-dimensional one: stability, accuracy, and efficiency. The major difficulty of the 3-D extension is related to the handling of triplications. An easy to implement solution is to approximate the wavefronts at the triplications as planes orth...
متن کاملAn Alternative Approach to Centroids and Connectors Pattern: Random Intra-Zonal Travel Time
In traditional traffic assignment procedure, each traffic analysis zone is represented by one point in its geometric center which is connected to the network by several connectors. Results of studies show that different connector patterns would result up to 10% change in estimated volume and up to 20% change in total travel time. Also the different patterns of connectors can change the priority...
