Elastic modeling initiative, part III: 3-D computational modeling
A 3-D finite-difference elastic wave propagation code that incorporates a number of advanced computational and physics-based enhancements has been developed. These enhancements include full 3-D elastic, viscoelastic, and topographic modeling (anisotropic capabilities arc being added), low-level optimization, propagating and variable density grids, hybridization, and parallelization. This code takes advantage of high performance computing and massively parallel processing to make 3-D full-physics simulations of seismic problems feasible. This computational tool will be used to generate an elastic subset of the SEG/EAEG acoustic data set. The acoustic and elastic data will be compared to examine pitfalls with traditional processing, and to test the effectiveness of using elastic data as an aid to seismic imaging.
