Conventional modeling and migration for tilted transversely isotropic (TTI) media may suffer
from numerical instabilities and shear wave artifacts due to the coupling of the P-wave and …

Seismic forward modeling in tilted transverse isotropic (TTI) media is crucial for the

Reverse time migration (RTM) exhibits great advantages over other imaging methods
because it is based on computing numerical solutions to a two-way wave equation. It does …

Modeling and reverse time migration based on the tilted transverse isotropic (TTI) acoustic
wave equation suffers from instability in media of general inhomogeniety, especially in areas …

We present an approach for P-wave modeling in inhomogeneous transversely isotropic
media with tilted symmetry axis (TTI media), suitable for anisotropic reverse-time migration …

In this abstract, we discuss the implementation of a TTI reverse time migration. Also we

Pseudoacoustic anisotropic wave equations are simplified elastic wave equations obtained
by setting the S-wave velocity to zero along the anisotropy axis of symmetry. These …

Anisotropy is a common phenomenon in subsurface strata and should be considered in
seismic imaging and inversion. Seismic imaging in a vertical transversely isotropic (VTI) …

Seismic anisotropy in dipping shales results in imaging and positioning problems for
underlying structures. We develop a reverse-time anisotropic depth migration approach for P …

The propagation of seismic waves in attenuating and anisotropic earth media is
accompanied by amplitude attenuation and phase distortion. If these adverse effects are not …
