Velocity continuation by spectral methods
نویسنده
چکیده
I apply Fourier and Chebyshev spectral methods to derive accurate and efficient algorithms for velocity continuation. As expected, the accuracy of the spectral methods is noticeably superior to that of the finite-difference approach. Both methods apply a transformation of the time axis to squared time. The Chebyshev method is slightly less efficient than the Fourier method, but has less problems with the time transformation and also handles accurately the non-periodic boundary conditions.

Traveling Water Waves: Spectral Continuation Methods with Parallel Implementation
We present a numerical continuation method for traveling wave solutions to the full water wave problem using a spectral collocation discretization. The water wave problem is reformulated in terms of surface variables giving rise to the Zakharov– Craig–Sulem formulation, and traveling waves are studied by introducing a phase velocity vector as a parameter. We follow non-trivial solution branches...
متن کاملTime-migration velocity analysis by velocity continuation
Time-migration velocity analysis can be performed by velocity continuation, an incremental process that transforms migrated seismic sections according to changes in the migration velocity. Velocity continuation enhances residual normal moveout correction by properly taking into account both vertical and lateral movements of events on seismic images. Finite-difference and spectral algorithms pro...

متن کاملVelocity continuation and the anatomy of residual prestack time migration
Velocity continuation is an imaginary continuous process of seismic image transformation in the postmigration domain. It generalizes the concepts of residual and cascaded migrations. Understanding the laws of velocity continuation is crucially important for a successful application of time-migration velocity analysis. These laws predict the changes in the geometry and intensity of reflection ev...
متن کاملTraveling gravity water waves in two and three dimensions
This paper discusses the bifurcation theory for the equations for traveling surface water waves, based on the formulation of Zakharov [58] and of Craig and Sulem [15] in terms of integro-differential equations on the free surface. This theory recovers the well-known picture of bifurcation curves of Stokes progressive wavetrains in two-dimensions, with the bifurcation parameter being the phase v...
