Propagation Of Waves

In this work, we have worked on possibilities to model artificial boundaries needed in the simulation of wave propagation in acoustic heterogeneous media.  Our motivation is to restrict the computational domain in the simulation of seismic waves that are propagated from the earth and transmitted to the stratified heterogeneous media composed by ocean and atmosphere. Two possibilities were studied and compared in computational tests: the use of absorbing boundary conditions on an artificial boundary in the atmosphere layer and the elimination of the atmosphere layer using an equivalent boundary condition that mimics the propagation of waves through the atmosphere. <br />

Horizontal Interface

The traditional one-way parabolic equation (PE) formulation for range-dependent layered acoustic media is modified to include effects associated with the boundary conditions along a sloping interface. Essentially, the boundary condition for continuity of the normal displacement along a sloping interface is cast in an approximate form which does not depend on range but does contain terms up to second order in the derivatives with respect to depth. The new sloping-boundary condition is then applied along an "equivalent" horizontal interface within each range-independent step of the PE. Numerical results obtained for standard test cases indicate that the sloping-boundary condition, incorporated into a one-way PE, maintains the efficiency yet improves the accuracy of forward predictions.

Effective Reflection Coefficient

Several radiation boundary conditions for inhomogeneous acoustic media are investigated. Previous investigators have developed various approximate radiation conditions and have studied their accuracy by calculating an effective reflection coefficient for plane waves incident on such radiating boundaries. In this paper, it is shown that effective reflection coefficients can be calculated for a class of parabolic approximations to the Helmholtz equation. These results are valid for vertically heterogeneous media. Comparison of these radiation conditions is given through numerical examples.
