Abstract:Previous studies demonstrated that seismic attenuation and anisotropy can significantly affect the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of wavefields. If these effects are not incorporated into seismic migration, the resolution of the imaging results will be reduced. Considering the anisotropy of velocity and attenuation, we derive a new pure-viscoacoustic wave equation to simulate P wave propagation in transversely isotropic (TI) attenuating media by combining the complex dispersion relation and modified com… Show more
