GLOBAL CLASSICAL SOLUTIONS OF SEMILINEAR WAVE EQUATIONS ON R^(3)×T WITH CUBIC NONLINEARITIES

In this paper,we establish global classical solutions of semilinear wave equations with small compact supported initial data posed on the product space R^(3)×T.The semilinear nonlinearity is assumed to be of the cubic form.The main ingredient here is the establishment of the L^(2)-L^(∞)decay estimates and the energy estimates for the linear problem,which are adapted to the wave equation on the product space.The proof is based on the Fourier mode decomposition of the solution with respect to the periodic direction,the scaling technique,and the combination of the decay estimates and the energy estimates.

Target-oriented Q-compensated reverse-time migration by using optimized pure-mode wave equation in anisotropic media

Research on seismic anisotropy and attenuation plays a significant role in exploration geophysics. To enhance the imaging quality for complicated structures, we develop several effective improvements for anisotropic attenuation effects in reverse-time migration (Q-RTM) on surface and vertical seismic profiling (VSP) acquisition geometries. First, to suppress pseudo-shear wave artifact and numerical instability of the commonly used anisotropic pseudo-acoustic wave equations, an optimized pure P-wave dispersion relation is derived and the corresponding pure-mode wave equation is solved by combining the finite-difference and Possion methods. Second, a simplified anisotropic pure-mode visco-acoustic wave equation (PVAWE) based on standard linear solid model is established. Third, a time-dispersion correlation strategy is applied to improve the modeling accuracy. Fourth, we extend a target-oriented scheme to anisotropic attenuated modeling and imaging. Instead of the conventional wavefield modeling and RTM, the proposed approach can extract available wavefield information near the target regions and produce high imaging resolution for target structures. Last, both anisotropic surface and VSP Q-RTMs are executed by combining optimized PVAWE, time-dispersion correlation and target-oriented algorithm. Modeling examples demonstrate the advantages of our schemes. Moreover, our modified Q-compensated imaging workflow can be regarded as a supplement to the classical anisotropic RTM.

Residual symmetry, CRE integrability and interaction solutions of two higher-dimensional shallow water wave equations

Two(3+1)-dimensional shallow water wave equations are studied by using residual symmetry and the consistent Riccati expansion(CRE) method. Through localization of residual symmetries, symmetry reduction solutions of the two equations are obtained. The CRE method is applied to the two equations to obtain new B?cklund transformations from which a type of interesting interaction solution between solitons and periodic waves is generated.

Preserved amplitude migration based on the one way wave equation in the angle domain

Traditional pre-stack depth migration can only provide subsurface structural information. However, simple structure information is insufficient for petroleum exploration which also needs amplitude information proportional to reflection coefficients. In recent years, pre-stack depth migration algorithms which preserve amplitudes and based on the one- way wave equation have been developed. Using the method in the shot domain requires a deconvolution imaging condition which produces some instability in areas with complicated structure and dramatic lateral variation in velocity. Depth migration with preserved amplitude based on the angle domain can overcome the instability of the one-way wave migration imaging condition with preserved amplitude. It can also offer provide velocity analysis in the angle domain of common imaging point gathers. In this paper, based on the foundation of the one-way wave continuation operator with preserved amplitude, we realized the preserved amplitude prestack depth migration in the angle domain. Models and real data validate the accuracy of the method.

Three-dimensional acoustic wave equation modeling based on the optimal finite-difference scheme

Generally, FD coefficients can be obtained by using Taylor series expansion （TE） or optimization methods to minimize the dispersion error. However, the TE-based FD method only achieves high modeling precision over a limited range of wavenumbers, and produces large numerical dispersion beyond this range. The optimal FD scheme based on least squares （LS） can guarantee high precision over a larger range of wavenumbers and obtain the best optimization solution at small computational cost. We extend the LS-based optimal FD scheme from two-dimensional （2D） forward modeling to three-dimensional （3D） and develop a 3D acoustic optimal FD method with high efficiency, wide range of high accuracy and adaptability to parallel computing. Dispersion analysis and forward modeling demonstrate that the developed FD method suppresses numerical dispersion. Finally, we use the developed FD method to source wavefield extrapolation and receiver wavefield extrapolation in 3D RTM. To decrease the computation time and storage requirements, the 3D RTM is implemented by combining the efficient boundary storage with checkpointing strategies on GPU. 3D RTM imaging results suggest that the 3D optimal FD method has higher precision than conventional methods.

Perfectly matched layer-absorbing boundary condition for finite-element time-domain modeling of elastic wave equations

The perfectly matched layer （PML） is a highly efficient absorbing boundary condition used for the numerical modeling of seismic wave equation. The article focuses on the application of this technique to finite-element time-domain numerical modeling of elastic wave equation. However, the finite-element time-domain scheme is based on the second- order wave equation in displacement formulation. Thus, the first-order PML in velocity-stress formulation cannot be directly applied to this scheme. In this article, we derive the finite- element matrix equations of second-order PML in displacement formulation, and accomplish the implementation of PML in finite-element time-domain modeling of elastic wave equation. The PML has an approximate zero reflection coefficients for bulk and surface waves in the finite-element modeling of P-SV and SH wave propagation in the 2D homogeneous elastic media. The numerical experiments using a two-layer model with irregular topography validate the efficiency of PML in the modeling of seismic wave propagation in geological models with complex structures and heterogeneous media.

P-and S-wavefield simulations using both the firstand second-order separated wave equations through a high-order staggered grid finite-difference method

In seismic exploration, it is common practice to separate the P-wavefield from the S-wavefield by the elastic wavefield decomposition technique, for imaging purposes. However, it is sometimes difficult to achieve this, especially when the velocity field is complex. A useful approach in multi-component analysis and modeling is to directly solve the elastic wave equations for the pure P- or S-wavefields, referred as the separate elastic wave equa- tions. In this study, we compare two kinds of such wave equations： the first-order （velocity-stress） and the second- order （displacement-stress） separate elastic wave equa- tions, with the first-order （velocity-stress） and the second- order （displacement-stress） full （or mixed） elastic wave equations using a high-order staggered grid finite-differ- ence method. Comparisons are given of wavefield snap- shots, common-source gather seismic sections, and individual synthetic seismogram. The simulation tests show that equivalent results can be obtained, regardless of whether the first-order or second-order separate elastic wave equations are used for obtaining the pure P- or S-wavefield. The stacked pure P- and S-wavefields are equal to the mixed wave fields calculated using the corre- sponding first-order or second-order full elastic wave equations. These mixed equations are computationallyslightly less expensive than solving the separate equations. The attraction of the separate equations is that they achieve separated P- and S-wavefields which can be used to test the efficacy of wave decomposition procedures in multi-com- ponent processing. The second-order separate elastic wave equations are a good choice because they offer information on the pure P-wave or S-wave displacements.

Linear superposition solutions to nonlinear wave equations

The solutions to a linear wave equation can satisfy the principle of superposition, i.e., the linear superposition of two or more known solutions is still a solution of the linear wave equation. We show in this article that many nonlinear wave equations possess exact traveling wave solutions involving hyperbolic, triangle, and exponential functions, and the suitable linear combinations of these known solutions can also constitute linear superposition solutions to some nonlinear wave equations with special structural characteristics. The linear superposition solutions to the generalized KdV equation K（2,2,1）, the Oliver water wave equation, and the k（n, n） equation are given. The structure characteristic of the nonlinear wave equations having linear superposition solutions is analyzed, and the reason why the solutions with the forms of hyperbolic, triangle, and exponential functions can form the linear superposition solutions is also discussed.

Pure quasi-P wave equation and numerical solution in 3D TTI media

Based on the pure quasi-P wave equation in transverse isotropic media with a vertical symmetry axis （VTI media）, a quasi-P wave equation is obtained in transverse isotropic media with a tilted symmetry axis （TTI media）. This is achieved using projection transformation, which rotates the direction vector in the coordinate system of observation toward the direction vector for the coordinate system in which the z-component is parallel to the symmetry axis of the TTI media. The equation has a simple form, is easily calculated, is not influenced by the pseudo-shear wave, and can be calculated reliably when δ is greater than ε. The finite difference method is used to solve the equation. In addition, a perfectly matched layer （PML） absorbing boundary condition is obtained for the equation. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation results with forward modeling prove that the equation can accurately simulate a quasi-P wave in TTI medium.

3D elastic wave equation forward modeling based on the precise integration method

The Finite Difference （FD） method is an important method for seismic numerical simulations. 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.

Some known results can be recovered by this approach.

3-D acoustic wave equation forward modeling with topography

In order to model the seismic wave field with surface topography, we present a method of transforming curved grids into rectangular grids in two different coordinate systems. Then the 3D wave equation in the transformed coordinate system is derived. The wave field is modeled using the finite-difference method in the transformed coordinate system. The model calculation shows that this method is able to model the seismic wave field with fluctuating surface topography and achieve good results. Finally, the energy curves of the direct and reflected waves are analyzed to show that surface topography has a great influence on the seismic wave＇s dynamic properties.

Cylinder pressure fluctuation during combustion process of internal combustion engine is closely related to combustion noise and knock.The current studies are based on cylinder pressure test to obtain information on combustion noise and knock,but there is little for simulation of combustion pressure fluctuation.Based on effects of combustion process in the combustion chamber on cylinder pressure by using wave equation,the mechanism of pressure fluctuation during combustion is researched with three-dimensional acoustic wave equation and flow field model of KIVA program.The cylinder pressure fluctuation curve,temperature field and acoustic field are obtained from the coupled calculation of the wave equation and KIVA program.The frequency spectrum analysis is taken with the cylinder pressure oscillation of cylinder pressure measured and calculated.The calculation result is consistent with the experimental result.This indicates that the cylinder pressure fluctuation can be correctly calculated with the wave equation.Analysis of calculation results of temperature field and acoustic field shows that sound field changes faster than flame propagates,and distribution of sound field is more complicated.Combustion pressure oscillation in the diesel engine is under highly unstable condition.This indicates that the combination of cylinder pressure fluctuation model and combustion model is an effective method to study the pressure oscillations and a new method to study the combustion noise and knock.
