We present an accurate 3D ray-tracing algorithm based on a modified (more flexible and
economical) shortest-path method (SPM). Unlike the regular SPM in the 3D case, which …

To improve the accuracy of microseismic event locations, we developed a new inversion
method with double-difference constraints for determining the hypocenters and the …

In a viscoelastic anisotropic medium, velocity anisotropy and wave energy attenuation occur
and are often observed in seismic data applications. Numerical investigation of seismic …

Crosshole seismic tomography often is applied to image the velocity structure of an interwell
medium. If the rocks are anisotropic, the tomographic technique must be adapted to the …

Studying the anisotropy of seismic wave velocity can provide a theoretical basis for
understanding the characteristics of seismic wave propagation in anisotropic media, such as …

We present a new ray bending approach, referred to as the Eigenray method, for solving two‐
point boundary‐value kinematic and dynamic ray tracing problems in 3D smooth …

This paper presents a fast swee** method (FSM) to calculate the first‐arrival traveltimes of
the qP, qSV, and qSH waves in two‐dimensional (2D) transversely isotropic media, whose …

This paper discusses two variants of the shortest path method and their parallel
implementation on a shared-memory system. One variant is designed to perform raytracing …

We present hybrid fast swee** methods for computing first-arrival traveltime of the qP, qSV
and qSH waves in two-dimensional tilted transversely isotropic media, based on solving the …

Kinematic ray tracing is an effective way to simulate the seismic wave propagation in
isotropic and anisotropic media. It is essential to know the ray velocity when tracing seismic …
