Modeling Seismic-Acoustic Fields in Axisymmetric Absorbing Media: the Finite Difference Scheme

Resumo

The finite difference scheme for modeling seismo-acoustic field propagation in axisymmetric absorbing media excited by an emitter in the borehole fluid (a monopole, a dipole, or a quadrupole) during the acoustic logging, or by an emitter in an elastic medium (a concentrated force, a dipole, or a center of expansion) during the seismic prospecting is presented. The explicit finite difference scheme approximating the equations of the modified Biot’s model, which describes the acoustic wave propagation in an isotropic porous viscoelastic medium saturated with viscous fluid, is proposed.
