The lack of an initial condition is one of the major challenges in full-wave-equation depth extrapolation. This initial condition is the vertical partial derivative of the surface wavefield and cannot be provided by the conventional seismic acquisition system. The traditional solution is to use the wavefield value of the surface to calculate the vertical partial derivative by assuming that the surface velocity is constant. However, for seismic exploration on land, the surface velocity is often not uniform. To solve this problem, we propose a new method for calculating the vertical partial derivative from the surface wavefield without making any assumptions about the surface conditions. Based on the calculated derivative, we implemented a depth-extrapolation-based full-wave-equation migration from topography using the direct downward continuation. We tested the imaging performance of our proposed method with several experiments. The results of the Marmousi model experiment show that our proposed method is superior to the conventional reverse time migration (RTM) algorithm in terms of imaging accuracy and amplitude-preserving performance at medium and deep depths. In the Canadian Foothills model experiment, we proved that our method can still accurately image complex structures and maintain amplitude under topographic scenario.

Abstract Propagation of a two-dimensional spatio-temporal electromagnetic beam wave is analysed. In parabolic (paraxial) approximation the exact analytical results for a spatio-temporal Gaussian impulse can be obtained. For solution of the full wave equation the numerical simulation has to be used. The various facets of this simulation are discussed here.

ABSTRACT Seismic wavefield modeling based on the wave equation is widely used in understanding and predicting the dynamic and kinematic characteristics of seismic wave propagation through media. This article presents an optimal numerical solution for the seismic acoustic wave equation in a Hamiltonian system based on the third-order symplectic integrator method. The least absolute truncation error analysis method is used to determine the optimal coefficients. The analysis of the third-order symplectic integrator shows that the proposed scheme exhibits high stability and minimal truncation error. To illustrate the accuracy of the algorithm, we compare the numerical solutions generated by the proposed method with the theoretical analysis solution for 2D and 3D seismic wave propagation tests. The results show that the proposed method reduced the phase error to the eighth-order magnitude accuracy relative to the exact solution. These simulations also demonstrated that the proposed third-order symplectic method can minimize numerical dispersion and preserve the waveforms during the simulation. In addition, comparing different central frequencies of the source and grid spaces (90, 60, and 20 m) for simulation of seismic wave propagation in 2D and 3D models using symplectic and nearly analytic discretization methods, we deduce that the suitable grid spaces are roughly equivalent to between one-fourth and one-fifth of the wavelength, which can provide a good compromise between accuracy and computational cost.
