The 3D acoustic wave equation for a heterogeneous medium is used for the seismic modeling of compressional (P-) wave propagation in complex subsurface structures. A combination of finite difference and finite integral transform methods is employed to obtain a “2.5D” solution to the 3D equation. Such 2.5D approaches are attractive because they result in computational run times that are substantially smaller than those for the 3D finite difference method. The acoustic parameters of the medium are assumed to be constant in one of the three Cartesian spatial dimensions. This assumption is made to reduce the complexity of the problem, but still retain the salient features of the approach. Simple models are used to address the computational issues that arise in the modeling. The conclusions drawn can also be applied to the more general fully inhomogeneous problem. Although similar studies have been carried out by others, the work presented here is new in the sense that (i) it applies to subsurface models that are both vertically and laterally heterogeneous, and (ii) the computational issues that need to be addressed for efficient computations, which are not trivial, are examined in detail, unlike previous works. We find that it is feasible to generate true-amplitude synthetic seismograms using the 2.5D approach, with computational run times, storage requirements, and other factors, being at reduced and acceptable levels.

In their interesting paper the authors present a new advanced approach to the simulation of seismic wave propagation in media described by Biot’s theory of dynamic poroelasticity in two dimensions. The algorithm developed can be used to accurately simulate the effect of dynamic poroelasticity on seismic wavefields over hydrocarbon reservoirs. In cases where this effect proves significant this algorithm can be incorporated in the seismic modeling technology.

The radial-basis-function finite-difference (RBF-FD) method has been proven successful in modeling seismic-wave propagation. Node distribution is typically the first and most critical step in RBF-FD. Regarding the difficulties in seismic modeling, such as node distribution of complex geologic structures, we have designed an adaptive node-distribution method that can generate nodes automatically and flexibly as the computation proceeds with the adaptive grain-radius satisfied dispersion relation and stability condition of seismic-wave propagation. Our method consists of two novel points. The first one is that we adopt an adaptive grain-radius generation method, which can automatically provide a wider scope of grain radius in seismic modeling while satisfying the dispersion relation and stability condition; the second one is that the node-generation algorithm is built by a smoothed model, which significantly improves the modeling stability at a reduced computational cost. Excessive or undesirable shape parameters will create a very ill-conditioned problem. A set of optimal shape parameters for different numbers of neighbor nodes is found quantitatively by minimizing root-mean-square error functions. This optimization method enables us to achieve an improved meshfree modeling process with higher accuracy and practicability and fewer spurious diffractions caused by the transition of different sampling areas. Several numerical results verify the feasibility of our adaptive node-distribution method and the optimal shape parameters.
