Abstract:Modeling complex-valued traveltimes is helpful for developing attenuation-associated techniques for seismic data processing. Transverse isotropy can explain the directional variation of velocity- and attenuation-anisotropy of long-wavelength seismic waves in many sedimentary rocks. The acoustic attenuating transversely isotropic eikonal equation can be used to accurately calculate P-wave complex-valued traveltimes under such a geological condition. However, no ray tracing system for this eikonal equation can b… Show more
