Abstract:For seismic wave propagation in HTI media, both kinematic and dynamic attributes are anisotropic. P-waves run slower in the direction perpendicular to fracture azimuth than in the direction parallel to fracture azimuth; meanwhile, reflection strength and frequency vary with azimuth. We quantitatively analyzed azimuthal effects of reflection coefficients and velocities of seismic waves in HTI medium. The anisotropy on the azimuth gathers from theory and real wide-azimuth data was studied as well. Therefore, ell… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
