Detailed Documentation

Understanding wave propagation regularity in anisotropic media is guided by the velocity patterns of wave equations in VTI (Vertical Transverse Isotropy) media. For instance, in geological exploration, comprehending VTI media's propagation characteristics enables more accurate predictions of subsurface rock positions and properties. This understanding can be implemented numerically through seismic modeling codes that solve anisotropic wave equations using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) methods, where velocity parameters are defined through Thomsen's anisotropy parameters (ε, δ, γ). Additionally, research on VTI media contributes to enhanced seismic exploration techniques and advances subsurface resource development. Consequently, mastering the propagation regularity of wave equations in VTI media provides deeper insights for related research and development, particularly in algorithm design for wave propagation simulation and inversion techniques.
