Приводится дисперсионный анализ разрывного метода Галеркина в применении к системе уравнений динамической теории упругости. В зависимости от степени базисных полиномов рассматриваются P1-, P2- и P3-формулировки метода при использовании регулярной треугольной сетки. Показано, что для задач сейсмического моделирования оптимальной является P2-формулировка, поскольку сочетает в себе достаточную точность (численная дисперсия не выше 0.05% и вычислительную эффективность. Использование P1-формулировки приводит к недопустимо высокой численной дисперсии, в то время как P3-формулировка является чрезвычайно ресурсоемкой при использовании дискретизаций от 3 до 20 ячеек сетки на длину волны, типичной для сейсмического моделирования. The dispersion analysis of the discontinuous Galerkin method as applied to the equations of dynamic elasticity theory is performed. Depending on the degrees of basis polynomials, we consider the P1, P2, and P3 formulations of this method in the case of regular triangular meshes. It is shown that, for the problems of seismic modeling, the P2 formulation is optimal, since a sufficient accuracy (the numerical dispersion does not exceed 0.05%) and the computational efficiency are achieved. The application of the P1 formulation leads to an undesirably high numerical dispersion. The P3 formulation allows one to obtain accurate results, but its computational cost is very high when the number of grid cells per wavelength belongs to range between 3 and 20, which is typical for the seismic modeling.

We analyze the dispersion properties of elements obtained by a discontinuous Galerkin method with Lagrange multipliers. The dispersion analysis of these elements presents a challenge in that the Lagrange multiplier degrees of freedom are directional, and hence an unbounded mesh is made up of more than one repeating pattern. Two approaches to overcome this difficulty are presented. The similarity in the two sets of results offers mutual validation of the two approaches.

The discontinuous Galerkin method (DGM) has been applied to investigate seismic wave propagation recently. However, few studies have examined the dispersion property of DGM with different basis functions. Therefore, three common basis functions, Legendre polynomial, Lagrange polynomial with equidistant nodes, and Lagrange polynomial with Gauss-Lobatto-Legendre (GLL) nodes, are used for numerical approximation. The numerical dispersion and anisotropy numerical behavior of acoustic and elastic waves are compared, and the numerical errors of different order methods are analyzed. The result shows that the dispersion errors for all basis functions reduce generally with increasing interpolation orders, but with large differences in different directions. Specifically, the Legendre basis function and Lagrange basis function with GLL nodes have attractive advantages over the Lagrange polynomial with equidistant nodes for numerical computation. We verified the dispersion properties by theoretical and numerical analyses.
