The simplest equation method presents wide applicability to the handling of nonlinear wave equations. In this paper, we focus on the exact solution of a new nonlinear KdV-like wave equation by means of the simplest equation method, the modified simplest equation method and, the extended simplest equation method. The KdV-like wave equation was derived for solitary waves propagating on an interface (liquid-air) with wave motion induced by a harmonic forcing which is more appropriate for the study of thin film mass transfer. Thus finding the exact solutions of this equation is of great importance and interest. By these three methods, many new exact solutions of this equation are obtained.

This paper discusses a two‐step method for predicting and attenuating multiple and peg‐leg reflections in unstacked seismic data. In the first step, an (observed) seismic record is extrapolated through a round‐trip traversal of the water layer, thus creating an accurate prediction of all possible multiples. In the second step, the record containing the predicted multiples is compared with and subtracted from the original. The wave‐equation method employed to predict the multiples takes accurate account of sea‐floor topography and so requires a precise water‐bottom profile as part of the input. Information about the subsurface below the sea floor is not required. The arrival times of multiple reflections are reproduced precisely, although the amplitudes are not accurate, and the sea floor is treated as a perfect reflector. The comparison step detects the similarities between the computed multiples and the original data, and estimates a transfer function to equalize the amplitudes and account for any change in waveform caused by the sea‐floor reflector. This two‐step wave‐equation method is effective even for dipping sea floors and dipping subsurface reflectors. It does not depend upon any assumed periodicity in the data or upon any difference in stacking velocity between primaries and multiples. Thus it is complementary to the less specialized methods of multiple suppression.

Traveltime tomography is an appropriate method for estimating seismic velocity structure from arrival times. However, tomography fails to resolve discontinuities in the velocities. Wave‐equation techniques provide images using the full wave field that complement the results of traveltime tomography. We use the velocity estimates from tomography as a reference model for a numerical propagation of the time reversed data. These “backpropagated” wave fields are used to provide images of the discontinuities in the velocity field. The combined use of traveltime tomography and wave‐equation imaging is particularly suitable for forming high‐resolution geologic images from multiple‐source/multiple‐receiver data acquired in borehole‐to‐borehole seismic surveying. In the context of crosshole imaging, an effective implementation of wave‐equation imaging is obtained by transforming the data and the algorithms into the frequency domain. This transformation allows the use of efficient frequency‐domain numerical propagation methods. Experiments with computer‐generated data demonstrate the quality of the images that can be obtained from only a single frequency component of the data. Images of both compressional [Formula: see text] and shear wave [Formula: see text] velocity anomalies can be obtained by applying acoustic wave‐equation imaging in two passes. An imaging technique derived from the full elastic wave‐equation method yields superior images of both anomalies in a single pass. To demonstrate the combined use of traveltime tomography and wave‐equation imaging, a scale model experiment was carried out to simulate a crosshole seismic survey in the presence of strong velocity contrasts. Following the application of traveltime tomography, wave‐equation methods were used to form images from single frequency components of the data. The images were further enhanced by summing the results from several frequency components. The elastic wave‐equation method provided slightly better images of the [Formula: see text] discontinuities than the acoustic wave‐equation method. Errors in picking shear‐wave arrivals and uncertainties in the source radiation pattern prevented us from obtaining satisfactory images of the [Formula: see text] discontinuities.
