Downward and upward continuation of 2-D seismic data to eliminate ocean bottom topography's effect

In order to eliminate the effect of ocean bottom topography on seismic wave field,we transformed curved（x,z）coordinate system grids into rectangular（ξ,η）coordinate system grids and derived a 2-D scalar acoustic wave equation in theξ,ηdomain.The seismic wave field collected at the sea surface was downward continued to the ocean bottom by the inverse finite difference method with the water velocity and then was reversely continued to the ocean surface by the finite difference method using the layer velocity from just below the ocean bottom in the（ξ,η）domain.Simulation calculations and practical application show that this method can not only remove the reflection travel time distortion but also correct the dynamic parameter changes caused by the ocean bottom topography.The inverted velocity after wave field continuation is much more accurate than before continuation and the image section was greatly improved compared to the original wave field.

Scattering of Surface Waves by the Edge of a Small Undulation on a Porous Bed in an Ocean with Ice-cover

Scattering of surface waves by the edge of a small undulation on a porous bed in an ocean of finite depth, where the free surface has an ice-cover being modelled as an elastic plate of very small thickness, is investigated within the framework of linearized water wave theory. The effect of surface tension at the surface below the ice-cover is neglected. There exists only one wave number propagating at just below the ice-cover. A perturbation analysis is employed to solve the boundary value problem governed by Laplace＇s equation by a method based on Green＇s integral theorem with the introduction of appropriate Green＇s function and thereby evaluating the reflection and transmission coefficients approximately up to first order. A patch of sinusoidal ripples is considered as an example and the related coefficients are determined.

Anomalous Scaling of Surface Growth Equations with Spatially and Temporally Correlated Noise

Based on the scaling idea of local slopes by Lopez et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 94 （2005） 166103], we investigate anomalous dynamic scaling of （d ＋ 1）-dimensional surface growth equations with spatially and temporally correlated noise. The growth equations studied include the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang （KPZ）, Sun-Guo-Grant （SGG）, and Lai-Das Sarma-Villain （LDV） equations. The anomalous scaling exponents in both the weak- and strong-coupling regions are obtained, respectively.

One-way wave equation seismic prestack forward modeling with irregular surfaces

Mathematical geophone （MG） and equal-time stacking （ETS） principles are used to implement seismic prestack forward modeling with irregular surfaces using the oneway acoustic wave-equation. This method receives seismic primary reflections from the subsurface using a set of virtual MGs. The receivers can be located anywhere on an irregular observing surface. Moreover, the ETS method utilizes the one-way acoustic wave equation to easily and quickly image and extrapolate seismic reflection data. The method is illustrated using high single-noise ratio common shot gathers computed by numerical forward modeling of two simple models, one with a flat surface and one with an irregular surface, and a complex normal fault model. A prestack depth migration method for irregular surface topography was used to reoroduce the normal fault model with high accuracy.

Theoretical and Experimental Analysis of Vortex Origin

Several investigations refer to the issue of creation and identification of vortices in flows with different regime and presence of obstacles. Reasons have to do with the crucial role that vortices play in nature and industrial processes （sediment transport, mixing, radiation, noise, etc.）. Despite the contributions, further work is needed in order to perform more analysis of the mathematical arguments used to explain this phenomenon. In this idea order, the paper presents some advances in mathematical analysis and experimental results. In the first section, we do a description of the fluid motion from a fractional view through a sequence of three steps： Darcy＇s law, Navier-Stokes equations and Reynolds equations. Next, a representation of the temporal change of kinetic energy is found, which allows the possibility of the two signs. We obtain a description of the process of vortex creation. A length that represents the transition between flow and vortex intensity is found; then a succession of lengths is established that allows scaling from micro to macro. In the second section, experimental results are present; we consider vortex creation and its detection upstream of a bed form similar to that found in rivers, installed in an open channel, equipped with a water circulation system. For vortex detection, a methodology based on the particle image velocimetry PIV technique is proposed. So, we fulfill two objectives： vortex identification and its passage frequencies behind the bed form installed in the channel. Such procedure allows a computer process time reduction in vortices identification task.
