Abstract Scattering theory is the basis for various seismic modeling and inversion methods. Conventionally, the Born series suffers from an assumption of a weak scattering and may face a convergence problem. We present an application of a modified Born series, referred to as the convergent Born series (CBS), to frequency-domain seismic wave modeling. The renormalization interpretation of the CBS from the renormalization group prospective is described. Further, we present comparisons of frequency-domain wavefields using the reference full integral equation method with that using the convergent Born series, proving that both of the convergent Born series can converge absolutely in strongly scattering media. Another attractive feature is that the Fast Fourier Transform is employed for efficient implementations of matrix–vector multiplication, which is practical for large-scale seismic problems. By comparing it with the full integral equation method, we have verified that the CBS can provide reliable and accurate results in strongly scattering media.

Wave forces on arbitrary-shaped three-dimensional offshore structures are analyzed by the proposed hybrid integral equation method. Eigenfunction expansion is used to represent velocity potential in the outer domain, while a set of integral equations is developed for the inner domain encompassing the structure. A floating dock and a step cylinder are used as test cases showing the validity of the method.
