چکیده

We consider re ection of a pulse in a random medium with a strong re ector. We show that the wavefront of the re ected wave observed in the frame moving with the random propagation speed stabilizes to the deterministic waveform. The problem is studied using invariant imbedding. The results of numerical experiments illustrating the theory are presented.

Re ection of Wavefronts by Randomly Layered

We consider reeection of a pulse in a random medium with a strong reeector. We show that the wavefront of the reeected wave observed in the frame moving with the random propagation speed stabilizes to the deterministic waveform. The problem is studied using invariant imbedding. The results of numerical experiments illustrating the theory are presented.

Multiple reflection and transmission phases in complex layered media using a multistage fast marching method

Traditional grid-based eikonal schemes for computing traveltimes are usually confined to obtaining first arrivals only. However, later arrivals can be numerous and of greater amplitude, making them a potentially valuable resource for practical applications such as seismic imaging. The aim of this paper is to introduce a grid-based method for tracking multivalued wavefronts composed of any numbe...

Frequency Content of Randomly Scattered Signals

The statistical properties of acoustic signals re ected by a randomly layered medium are analyzed when a pulsed spherical wave issuing from a point source is incident upon it. The asymptotic analysis of stochastic equations and geometrical acoustics is used to arrive at a set of transport equations that characterize multiply scattered signals observed at the surface of the layered medium. The r...

Inverse solutions to radiative-transfer problems with partially transparent boundaries and di*use re+ection

Analytical techniques are used to solve a class of inverse radiative-transfer problems relevant to 1nite and semi-in1nite plane-parallel media. While the assumption of isotropic scattering is made, di*use re+ection is allowed at the surface, for the semi-in1nite case, and at both surfaces for the case of a 1nite layer. For the general case based on a semi-in1nite medium, a cubic algebraic equat...

Axisymmetric Scaled Boundary Finite Element Formulation for Wave Propagation in Unbounded Layered Media

Wave propagation in unbounded layered media with a new formulation of Axisymmetric Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (AXI-SBFEM) is derived. Dividing the general three-dimensional unbounded domain into a number of independent two-dimensional ones, the problem could be solved by a significant reduction in required storage and computational time. The equations of the corresponding Axisymmetri...
