This paper presents a numerical computation of the multivalued traveltime field generated by a point‐source experiment in the Marmousi model. Two methods are combined to achieve this goal: a method called big ray tracing, used to compute multivalued traveltime fields, and an eikonal solver, designed to work on unstructured meshes. Big ray tracing is based on a combination of ray tracing and local solutions of the eikonal equation. Classical ray tracing first discretizes the phase space and defines local zones that possibly overlap where the traveltime field is multivalued. Then an eikonal solver computes traveltimes in these zones called big rays. It acts as an exact interpolation process between rays associated with different branches of the traveltime field. The geometry of big rays may be complicated and is better discretized using unstructured meshes. An eikonal solver designed to work on unstructured meshes is used.

Recently, we developed a numerical approach for the simulation of detonation waves on fully unstructured grids and applied it to the numerical study of the mechanisms of detonation initiation in multifocusing systems. Current work is devoted to further development of our numerical approach, namely, parallelization of the numerical scheme and introduction of more comprehensive detailed chemical kinetics scheme.
