It helps us understand regular patterns in seismic wave propagation, analyze seismic attributes, and interpret seismic data. However, because of its discretization, the FD method is only stable under certain conditions. The Arbitrary Difference Precise Integration （ADPI） method is based on the FD method and adopts an integration scheme in the time domain and an arbitrary difference scheme in the space domain. Therefore, the ADPI method is a semi-analytical method. In this paper, we deduce the formula for the ADPI method based on the 3D elastic equation and improve its stability. In forward modeling cases, the ADPI method was implemented in 2D and 3D elastic wave equation forward modeling. Results show that the travel time of the reflected seismic wave is accurate. Compared with the acoustic wave field, the elastic wave field contains more wave types, including PS- and PP- reflected waves, transmitted waves, and diffracted waves, which is important to interpretation of seismic data. The method can be easily applied to elastic wave equation numerical simulations for eoloical models.展开更多

However, traditional methods of seismic simulation cannot meet the needs for studying seismic wavefields in the complex geological structures found in seismic exploration of the mountainous area in Northwestern China. More powerful techniques of seismic modeling are demanded for this purpose. In this paper, two methods of finite element-finite difference method （FE-FDM） and arbitrary difference precise integration （ADPI） for seismic forward modeling have been developed and implemented to understand the behavior of seismic waves in complex geological subsurface structures and reservoirs. Two case studies show that the FE-FDM and ADPI techniques are well suited to modeling seismic wave propagation in complex geology.展开更多
