Seismic velocity and attenuation anisotropy are ubiquitous in the crust and upper mantle,
significantly modulating the characteristics of seismic wave propagation in the Earth's …

The propagation of seismic waves in attenuating and anisotropic earth media is
accompanied by amplitude attenuation and phase distortion. If these adverse effects are not …

Quantifying the attenuation of seismic waves propagating in the Earth interior is critical to
study the subsurface structure. Previous studies have proposed fractional anelastic wave …

In this paper, we derive a time-domain complex-valued wave equation for modelling visco-
acoustic wave propagation in frequency-independent Q media. Starting from the frequency …

We have developed a new time-domain viscoacoustic wave equation for simulating wave
propagation in anelastic media. The new wave equation is derived by inserting the complex …

During seismic wave propagation, intrinsic attenuation inside the earth gives rise to
amplitude loss and phase dispersion. Without appropriate correction strategies in migration …

Intrinsic attenuation of the earth causes energy loss and phase distortion in seismic wave
propagation. To obtain high-resolution imaging results, these negative effects must be …

Forward modeling of seismic wave propagation is crucial for the realization of reverse time
migration (RTM) and full waveform inversion (FWI) in attenuating transversely isotropic …

We have developed a theory of viscoelastic reverse time migration (RTM). The main feature

Efficient modeling schemes currently exist to handle the spatially variable-order fractional
Laplacians in the fractional Laplacian viscoacoustic wave equation. The simplest approach …
