Preface
This study is the first step toward creation of a computer system which allows efficient
modeling of seismic wave field in all kinds of 3D media. At the beginning, this study was a
part of a project of Oil and Gas Institute, Cracow, Poland, where solutions were created and
tested under the supervision of Prof. Halina Jędrzejowska-Tyczkowska. Then the study was
continued as a part of Statutory Research of a Department of Geoinformatics and Applied
Computer Science at AGH University of Science and Technology, Cracow, Poland,
no.11.11.140.561. Of course this kind of research and performed computation would have
never been possible without appropriate computer infrastructure which was financed by
special donation from the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education.
Summary
This book reports a comprehensive study of numerical modeling of wave propagation in 3D
anisotropic media. Finite-difference methods were used for efficient modeling of wave
propagation in such a media. After a short introduction, the book presents the theory of
anisotropic model that describes real geological media and its approximation using horizontal,
vertical, titled transverse isotropic and orthorhombic media in the second chapter. Also, the
construction of efficient and universal wave field modeling algorithm that is deduced from the
basic ones using stiffness matrix transformation by Bond matrices is shown. The third
chapter presents numerical solution of the elastic wave equation in various types of
anisotropic media. The second order in space and time finite-difference method was used to
obtain a detailed solution for all considered types of anisotropic media. Stability criteria for all
discussed algorithms are also presented. Fourth order in time finite-difference method is
presented additionally as an example of alternative numerical solution. In the next chapter
implementation of the finite-difference schemas including initial and border conditions and
computational environment is discussed. In the last chapter example results of wave
propagation modeling for different types of anisotropy and for various seismic sources are
presented and discussed.

1. Introduction
Full-wave field modelling is a powerful tool of seismic exploration and seismology. It can be
used for various earthquake-related analyses and during many stages of seismic
investigations. Recent rapid progress in full-wave form seismic inversion methods has made
these simulations even more important.
The seismic wave field propagation is studied in simplified geological media. The heterogenic
medium is one of the common models of the real, complicated subsurface structure of earth. It
consists of homogeneous parts of different shapes and sizes. In most cases they are considered
as isotropic ones; e.g., mechanical parameters inside each part are constant and independent
of directions. But in an anisotropic medium, parameters that are measured depend on the
direction. The anisotropic and heterogeneous medium can be nowadays regarded as a
sufficient approximation of the real medium of seismic wave propagation.
Generally, the more complicated analyzed medium is, the more important correct
understanding of anisotropy is necessary. In the case of three dimensional (3D) anisotropic
media, abundance of possible waves and interactions between them can make wave form
analysis very complicated even if there is lack of any heterogeneity (e.g. layer borders).
Analysis of synthetic seismograms and modeled snapshots can be very interesting not only for
theoretical studies but also for solving real, “production” problems (Jędrzejowska-
Tyczkowska, 2006). Sometimes one synthetic seismogram or snapshot can reveal the true
nature and/or genesis of observed complicated wave forms. In complicated anisotropic media,
various wave forms can be created by simple wave propagation through homogeneous
medium. In a detailed analysis anisotropy can no longer be treated as a simple variation of
seismic wave speed with direction. Various waves, sometimes surprisingly hard to interpret,
can be observed in the case of even very limited anisotropy. On the other hand very subtle
distortion of wave speed symmetry can be crucial for final seismic or seismological
interpretation. Proper understanding of all effects of seismic anisotropy seems to be one of the
most important problems of modern geophysics.
The beginning of these studies can be traced back to 2004 when a series of papers concerning
wave filed modeling in complex and/or anisotropic media were published by authors (Leśniak
& Danek 2004; Danek & Franczyk 2004a, 2004b, Danek 2004). One year later these works
were continued as a part of European Union program – HPC Europa (Danek 2005a, 2005b).
Obtained results were a background to more mature studies which were conducted later (e.g.
Leśniak & Danek 2006, Pietsh et al. 2007). Finally during the second HPC Europe
cooperation (Danek 2007) additional efficiency studies for big, 3D models were carried out.
These results led to some complicated, full scale simulation (e.g. Danek et al. 2008, Pięta et
al. 2009) and to studies concerning alternative ways of wave filed modeling (Danek 2009).
All this experience in wave field propagation theory, computational methods and parallel
computing gave a proper background for the most ambitious task – full scale 3D modeling in
anisotropic media.

2. Description of anisotropic models of real geological medium and its
approximation (VTI, HTI, TTI, orthorhombic media)
2.1. Introduction: Analogies to crystallography
At microscopic scale, anisotropy is related with crystals. Anisotropic properties of crystals
reflect their periodic structure at atomic scale. The terminology and basic models of
anisotropy that are used in geophysics are based mainly on information and names from
crystallography. Hence, there is a direct reference to the crystallography in the first chapter of
this publication.
Properties of anisotropic media can be represented by tensors. In the case of anisotropic media
measured physical properties depend on direction. A response of a crystal to the applied force
will not depend on force amplitude alone but on its direction as well. The manner in which a
given crystal will change its properties along with changes of the direction depends on its
symmetry. If a 3D crystal has defined planes of symmetry, its form will not change after the
symmetrical reflection about those planes.
Likewise, physical parameters measured in that direction do not change as a result of such
transformations. In other words, it is symmetry planes that determine the directions in which
physical parameters of a given crystal do not change. If stresses are applied in those
directions, the deformations will be the same. This also means that if a medium is
symmetrical about given transformation, the transformation does not change the stiffness
matrix that describes the medium.
The 3D space periodic structures (like crystals) can be constructed only in 32 ways: so-called
32 classes of symmetry that are grouped in seven systems that are listed below (e.g. Auld,
1973):
- triclinic
- monoclinic
- rhombic
- hexagonal
- rhombohedral (trigonal)
- tetragonal
- regular
The symmetry planes for basic classes of symmetry are shown in Fig.1.

heksagonalny e) romboedryczny f) kubiczny(Crampin 1984, zmodyfikowany)
Generally, more than 32 symmetry classes can be distinguished for a rock medium
(Winterstein, 1990). For instance, a plane-parallel medium is isotropic in any horizontal
direction. Any vertical plane is the symmetry plane for such a medium. This does not happen
in crystals. The same type of anisotropy is observed for a homogeneous medium with a
system of cracks with horizontal boundaries. Such media are anisotropic with so-called
vertical transverse isotropy (VTI). Adding two systems of parallel cracks with plane
boundaries into an anisotropic medium gives anisotropy that simultaneously belongs to
triclinic, rhombic, and tetragonal systems. Three-crack systems in a homogeneous medium
give anisotropy which is simultaneously included to triclinic, rhombohedric, hexagonal, and
regular systems.
Of greatest importance to geophysicists are media with vertical transverse isotropy; however,
other types of anisotropic media can be employed in seismics. We shall discuss them later in
this study.

2.2. Symmetry of stiffness tensor
Anisotropic properties in geophysics are analyzed through studying the symmetry of stiffness
tensor that links stress with deformation:
3,2,1,,, == lkjic klijklij εσ
It is known that anisotropic systems can be classified based on the mutual position of their
symmetry planes (Crampin 1984). One can prove a theorem saying that ‘a plane 0=px is
the symmetry plane of an anisotropic system with stiffness tensor ijklc if and only if one or
three indexes i,j,k,l are equal to p’ (Crampin 1984).
To illustrate how this theorem acts, the stiffness tensor must be somewhat simplified.
Theoretically, it has 34
= 81components; however, they are not mutually independent.
Because stress and deformation are symmetric
lkkljiij εεσσ == (2.1)
we get the following identities
jilkijlkjiklijkl cccc === (2.2)
which reduce the number of independent components of the stiffness tensor to 36. In turn, the
identity
klijijkl cc = (2.3)
reduces that number to 21. The components can be written as a 6 x 6 symmetrical matrix (see
Appendix 1).

Let a rhombic system with symmetry planes 01 =x , 02 =x and 03 =x be an example. Using
the Crampin theorem we conclude that the stiffness matrix for rhombic system has the form

with nine independent elements.
2.3. Anisotropy types of rock media
Throughout this book appropriate stiffness matrices are used in computer programs for wave-
field modeling. Each anisotropic medium has a specific stiffness matrix. What is important,
the number of independent matrix elements decreases when symmetry of the medium
increases.
The simplest medium we can consider is homogeneous and isotropic: only two components of
elastic tensor Cijkl are mutually independent. A symmetric tensor has the following form:

The Lame constants are given as: c44 = µ and c33 = λ+2µ.
From a practical point of view of the seismic exploration, three types of anisotropic media are
distinguished:
1. With hexagonal symmetry (transverse isotropy) in which physical properties do not change
perpendicular to the symmetry axis but they change parallel to it. Four types of anisotropy are
distinguished in these media:
• Vertical transverse isotropy (VTI) - for almost horizontal plane-parallel finely layered
media; the symmetry axis is vertical.
• Horizontal transverse isotropy (HTI) – for almost vertical plane-parallel finely layered
media; the symmetry axis is horizontal.

• Extensive dilatancy anisotropy (EDA) – caused by cracks with orientation different
from horizontal; the symmetry axis is different from vertical.
• Tilted transverse anisotropy (TTI) – for tilted plane-horizontal finely layered media;
the symmetry axis is different from vertical.
There are five independent components of stiffness tensors for these types of media. They
have the forms

2. Second, there is orthorhombic (rhombic) anisotropy that is a superposition of VTI and
EDA. It occurs for a vertical system of cracks in horizontally stratified media (e.g.
limestones). Usually VTI >> EDA.

As it has been mentioned earlier, there are nine independent components of the stiffness
matrix.
3. Third, there is a monoclinic anisotropy that is observed if a system of non-vertical cracks
occurs in horizontally stratified systems. The monoclinic anisotropy also exists in media
where two, nonorthogonal systems of cracks exist.

(2.10)
An interesting case occurs when 0
21 90=+φφ . Then the above shown system reduces to the
rhombic system.
Theoretically, at least a dozen or so other symmetry systems can be distinguished for the
elastic tensor, and hence the same number of anisotropy types. However, only the three
above-mentioned types were found during seismic field survey. Maybe other types of
anisotropy do not appear in nature, possibly because of physical reasons.
2.4. Transformations of stiffness tensor
The more complicated anisotropy models can be evaluated from the basic ones (described
above) through application of the specific transformation of the stiffness tensor. This stiffness
tensor transformation is achieved when a specific rotation is made around a given symmetry
axis. Since rotations belong to orthogonal transformations, they can be characterized by
matrix { } 3,2,1, == jiaija that satisfies conditionsTaa =−1
, Iaa =Tand ( ) 1det =a for
rotation and ( ) 1det −=a for symmetry. Equations that transform stress tensors and
13
deformation tensors to a new (‘) coordinate system (the Einstein’s summation convention is
consistently applied) are
kljlikij aa εε =′
kljlikij aa σσ =′ (2.11)
The equations have the following form in matrix notation:
Nεε =′ (2.12)
Mσσ =′
where N and M are transformation matrices from one coordinate system to the other. The
explicit forms of matrices N and M are as follows:

The N matrix and M matrix are known as ‘Bond matrices’. Using formula (2.1) and because
matrix a is orthogonal, one can easily prove that T1 MN =− . It can be concluded that

The two above given formulas enable the explicit expressions for stiffness matrix for specific

As the first example, let us consider a TTI medium (a VTI medium rotated by angle θ around
x1 or x2 axis). First, we must determine the Bond matrices for those rotations. For rotation

To obtain an expression for the stiffness matrix for HTI medium rotated by θ around the
vertical axis, we must perform the transformation TMCMC =′ , where C is the stiffness
matrix for VTI medium. As a result we get the following expressions for stiffness tensor

Using the above given expressions and examples one can relatively easily determine stiffness
matrix coefficients for plane-parallel media with different orientations of the symmetry axis,
for example from VTI through TTI to HTI media.
2.5. Effective parameters for VTI medium
Sedimentary structures often take cyclic forms with plane-parallel boundaries, as it is shown
in the figure below.

For long-enough wave lengths, the structure shown in the figure will behave as a
homogeneous anisotropic structure.

Rys. 2.6 Schematyczny obraz struktury warstwowanej zachowującej się jak ośrodek anizotropowy.
At a macroscopic scale, seismic anisotropy in stratified media occurs when the wavelength, λλλλ,
is much bigger than layer thickness, hi. It can be assumed that the following condition must be
satisfied:
19
max8h≥λ (2.25)
Let us assume that a VTI structure is periodic and built of homogeneous and isotropic layers
with thickness 1h and 2h . Each layer is described by the stiffness matrix having two
parameters, λ and µ (Lame constants). On the other hand, an equivalent VTI medium is
characterized by the stiffness matrix with five independent coefficients (6655331311 ,,,, ccccc ). It
should be remembered that 661112 2ccc −= . One can prove that stiffness matrix coefficients
for such a structure (Postma, 1955) take the following form:

A different situation is observed for non-periodic media. We assume that a plane-parallel
medium is built of L single layers whose thickness is much smaller than the dominating
seismic wave length; in this case transverse isotropy rather than isotropy is assumed, with the
symmetry axis perpendicular to stratification. Moreover, the stationarity of layer sequence is
assumed. This means that the percent contribution of individual components is stable for
packets whose thickness is much smaller than the wavelength. In such a case, stiffness matrix
coefficients are a combination of average coefficient values for individual layers (Backus,
1962):

where the value in cone brackets is the weighted mean of corresponding parameters:

(2.28)
where the weighting value iw depends on layers’ thicknesses.
The results shown above were extended to sequences of arbitrary, thin (as compared to
seismic wavelength) anisotropic layers (Schoenberg, Muir, 1989). Let us assume such a
sequence satisfies the stationary conditions. Let )(n
ijσ be a stress tensor for n-th layer, )(n
klε be a
deformation tensor for that layer, and )(n
ijklc be its stiffness tensor. Changing from fourth-order
tensor notation to second-order tensors (as explained above and in Appendix 1), the
generalized Hooke’s law for n-th layer can be written:
6,5,4,3,2,1,)()()( == kjcn
k
n
jk
n
j εσ (2.29)
We assume that all stress components that act tangentially to stratification are identical for
each layer. A similar assumption is taken for deformation components parallel to
stratification. Other components of both stress and deformation can change from layer to
layer.
Let us define the following vectors:
- tangent stress vector [ ]Tnnnn

The first equation gives values of tangent stresses in each layer. The average of those stresses
i.e. the sum over all layers divided by the total layer thickness gives the mean force tangent to
stratification of the medium. Through averaging procedure the second equation gives the
mean thickness change of the layer packet.

2.6. Thomsen parameters for VTI medium
There are several disadvantages of the conventional notation for a VTI medium:
• inconvenient evaluation of a strength of anisotropy (particularly for small offsets that
are used in seismic surveys); no possibility to evaluate anisotropy of P waves
propagating in near-vertical direction;
• subordination of P-wave and SV-wave propagation to four parameters (c11, c33, c55,
c13); in the so-called “Thomsen notation”, the number of parameters responsible for P-
wave and SV-wave propagation can be reduced to three;
• due to the relationship between c55 and c13, the inversion of P section does not allow
the above parameters to be reproduced ;
• expressions for kinematic corrections are very complicated; they can be simplified
using the Thomsen parameters.
For VTI medium, Thomsen (1986) proposed substituting five independent material constants
with combination of them so that new constants could better describe seismic wave
propagation. If we take that

where ρ is medium density, then P-wave and SV-wave propagation will be described by first
four constants while SH-wave propagation will depend on parameters VS0 and γ alone. If the
last three parameters take small values, we can get approximated expressions for longitudinal
and shear wave propagation depending on θ angle (Thomsen, 1986):

Constants VP0 and VS0 are, respectively, P-wave and S-wave propagation velocities in
direction parallel to the symmetry axis of VTI medium (perpendicular to stratification).
Analyzing expressions for P-wave and S-wave propagation velocities one can find that
coefficient ε controls P-wave velocity for near horizontal propagation (big values of θ angle).
In turn, for small θ angles (almost vertical propagation that is a frequent case in practice) it is
coefficient δ that controls anisotropic properties for P-wave propagation.
Fig. 2.7. P-wave rays (black lines) and wave fronts (white solid lines) in VTI medium with parameters εεεε = 0.1 and δδδδ =
-0.1. P-wave front for isotropic medium is marked in white dashed line (Tsvankin, 2001).

Phase velocities obtained from Thomsen relations are shown in polar diagrams that illustrate a
dependence of P-wave and SV-wave phase velocity on phase angle θ for two anisotropic
media (Fig. 2.8). Values for components of stiffness tensor and corresponding Thomsen
parameters for both media are given in Table 2.1.

2.7. Thomsen parameters for orthorhombic medium
A HTI model is merely the first approximation of an anisotropic medium in which the
velocity depends on the azimuth. A more viable model of real anisotropic medium is an
above-defined orthorhombic (rhombic) medium that has two vertical symmetry planes shown
in Fig. 2.3 as [x1,x3] i [x2,x3].
Thomsen parameters for a rhombic medium are defined as follows:

Both VTI medium and HTI medium are special cases of rhombic anisotropy. It reduces to
VTI medium when parameters of the medium are identical around symmetry planes [x1,x3]
and [x2,x3] and P-wave and S-wave velocity in [x1,x2] plane are constant.

3. Numerical solution of the elastic wave equation
In this chapter numerical solution of equation of motion in anisotropic medium is presented.
The second-order in space and time finite-difference method was used to obtain a detailed
solution for vertical, horizontal and rhombic transverse isotropy and tilted transverse
anisotropy media. Stability criteria for all discussed algorithms are also presented. As an
example of alternative numerical solution the fourth order in time finite-difference method is
presented additionally.

For rhombic medium nine elastic constants are independent whereas for transversely isotropic
medium only five elastic constants are independent and for isotropic only two (Thomsen,
1986). This is due to symmetry of stiffness matrix and dependences among elastic constants
discussed in detail in Chapter 2.
For rhombic and isotropic media these dependences can be written as: (3.7a) and (3.7b)
respectively.

3.3. Numerical solution of equation of motion using finite-difference method
Finite-difference methods are widely used to model seismic wave propagation in elastic
media (Alford, 1974; Kelly i in., 1976, Reynolds 1987). Numerical solution of the equation of
motion can be obtained using various formulations of finite-difference schemes and these
differ from one another by accuracy, efficiency and computational time. In this study the
explicate schemes computationally simpler than implicit ones were used. In this schemes
motion at a given spatial grid point and time level is calculated only from motion at a previous
time level (or levels) and adjacent grid points.
Second-order in space and time explicate finite-difference scheme can be obtained by
adopting the central difference (3.15) to approximate partial derivative of equation of motion

, yxO ∆∆ are approximation errors.
The discrete form of equations of motion obtained by adopting central difference to second-
order partial derivatives and mixed partial derivatives (3.15) is presented in Appendix 2. In
order to obtain a detailed solution for isotropic, rhombic, vertical transverse isotropy and
horizontal transverse isotropy media adequate dependences (3.7a, 3.7b, 3.8a or 3.8b) must be
satisfied. In Appendices 3, 4, 5 the discrete form of equations of motion for TTI media is
presented.

Finite-difference method often suffers from grid dispersion and unphysical oscillations which
appear when the computational grid is too coarse. Although finer spatial grids and time-
sampling can be use to eliminate the numerical dispersion they result in large computational
costs and large amount of memory necessary to store data. The gain in computational
efficiency can be made by using higher-order approximation for derivatives of equation of
motion.
Fourth-order in time finite-difference schema is an example of such approximation. The
discrete form of equations of motion obtained by using fourth order in time schema can be
written as

The discrete form of the above equation in isotropic, rhombic or transversely isotropic media
obtained after adopting central difference to second- and fourth-order partial derivatives and
mixed partial derivatives is presented in Appendix 6. Detailed solution for isotropic, rhombic,
vertical transverse isotropy or horizontal transverse isotropy media can be obtained after
taking into account equations 3.7a, 3.7b, 3.8a and 3.8b, respectively.
Fourth order in time and second order in space finite-difference schema presented above is
more accurate but also much more computationally complex than the second order in space
and time finite-difference schema. It also suffers for numerical dispersion, thus second-order
in space and time finite-difference schema is presented only for more complicated, tilted
transverse anisotropy media.

The A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I matrices for each type of anisotropy have different form. In
the next sections a detailed account of these matrices and stability criterion for VTI, HTI,
rhombic and TTI media is presented.

4. Implementation of the finite-difference schemas
4.1. Initial and border conditions
Numerical modeling of seismic wave field is a computational problem in which continuous
space-time has to be simulated in discrete mesh with a defined time step. To do this, various
previously mentioned time and space stability conditions have to be fulfilled. But even if
stability of the solution is achieved there are other limitations of this discrete representation.
First of all real waves propagate in continuous and practically unlimited medium. The first
problem with discrete representation is “instant” reaction of neighboring points when wave is
passing through the computational grid. It means that modeled waves seem to have a couple
of percent higher velocities then those defined in modeling parameters. The other, more
important problem is definition of border conditions. Of course 3D computational cube has
borders which limit the propagation. There are various ways to define and then calculate
border conditions. It is possible to add additional “artificial” set of grid points “outside” a
cube, redefine computational schemes for border planes or add dumping zones around a cube.
Of course, all these solutions require additional time and/or memory consuming operations.
Usually the most efficient is dumping solution but it has one important disadvantage:
additional “dumping” cube has to be allocated which is memory consuming. Fortunately in
tests presented below time of computation was short and only wave field snapshots were
taken into consideration.
Initial conditions for this kind of computations are very simple. Motion in each point of
computational grid in time t+1 is calculated using motions of the examined point and
neighboring points in time t and t-1. It means that at the beginning all cubes have to be zeroed
in all points except source point or area. In all later time steps all computational cubes for
time t-1 are recalculated for time t+1 and all other cubes are shifted one time space back.
4.2 Seismic wave propagation, finite-difference algorithm
Modeling of seismic wave propagation in the anisotropic media can be described by the
following four steps:
1. data input – providing values of geological model, location and type of the source of
seismic wave, establishing of proper values of stiffness matrix;
2. providing initial values for 0
,, kjiU , 0
,, kjiV , 0
,, kjiW ;
3. utilizing the finite-difference scheme described in Appendix 2,3,4 or 5 to compute 1
,,
+n
kjiU , 1
,,
+n
kjiV , 1
,,
+n
kjiW , where 0≥n ;
4. providing boundary condition.
The steps 3 and 4 have to be repeated until simulation time is reached.
42
4.3 Computational environment
Full wave form numerical modeling in 3D media is a very complicated time and hardware
resources-consuming task. Even in the case of a simple isotropic, acoustic 3D modeling the
memory consumption is enormous. Single 100 x 100 x 100 cube of 8 byte floating point
numbers needs more than 22 MB of memory and in this simplest case at least four cubes are
needed (without consideration of matrices or cubes for storing results). In case of HTI, VTI or
orthorhombic models at least 19 cubes (elastic constraints and 3D displacements in three
continuous time steps) are needed, which gives about 0.5 GB of memory for every 1,000,000
grid points. The other problem is time of computations. In case of modern CPU one average
scale anisotropic model is usually calculated in 10 to 20 hours. Fortunately parallelization of
this kind of computations is very easy.
All proposed solutions were evaluated on IBM Blade Linux cluster*. One BladeCenter
chassis with 11 HC21 and 3 HC10 Blade servers was used. 88 Intel Xeon E5405 2.00 GHz
cores and 6 Intel Core2 6700 2.66 GHz cores with 200 GB of total RAM were available. This
environment was previously successfully used as a hardware platform for many other projects
connected with seismic wave filed modeling in complex media (e.g. Danek et al. 2008, Kowal
et al. 2008, Pięta et al. 2009, Danek 2009).
All computer codes were written in C language. The most important part of the code –
computational kernel loop is presented in Appendix 7.
* The cluster is located in Department of Geosciences and Applied Computer Science, Faculty of Geology,
Geophysics and Environmental Protection, AGH University of Science and Technology, Kraków, Poland.

5. Example results of wave propagation modeling in anisotropic media
In this chapter wave propagation in HTI, VTI and orthorhombic homogeneous media is
presented. Also, propagation in simple isotropic models is calculated for comparison
purposes. In all cases three kinds of seismic sources were used: explosive, unidirectional
vertical force and double couple force. Double couple source was always localized in X2
(“cross line”) plane. For all computations the Ricker signal, which is very often used in
seismic simulations, was chosen. All parameters used in modeling are presented in Table 5.1
and were exactly the same in all analyzed cases of this research. Results of modeling can be
presented in three perpendicular planes (X1, X2, X3) and three components of the modeled
wave field (x1, x2, x3) can be exhibited. It means that up to 9 combinations of motion pictures
(three planes, in each three different directions of wave motions) can be evaluated and
analyzed in every time step. In this study results for planes crossing source area and planes
shifted 20 m away from the source were selected for further, detailed analysis (Fig. 5.1).

Elastic constraints used in this experiment were calculated in a very special manner. First of
all constraints for the orthorhombic anisotropy were chosen. Then, using the method
described in Chapter 3 this medium was reduced to HTI, VTI and finally isotropic media. All

5.1.1 Explosive source
Explosive source is one of the most commonly used sources in seismic exploration. It can be
also used in the case of wave field modeling of mine tremors and explosions induced by
mining activity. From numerical point of view the source was defined as a 3 x 3 x 3 grid point
cube and in each point force pointing outside the cube was attached.
5.1.2 Double couple source
Double couple mechanism is one of the most commonly used source models in seismology.
Wave propagation caused by earthquakes related with rock mass movements along faults is
very similar to wave propagation excited by double couple mechanism. In this study a simple
double couple combination of forces was assumed to simulate the vertical fault lying in the X2
plane. This orientation of fault was chosen because it allows simple comparison with a 2D
case. Additionally this strict set of directions of wave propagation results in a very clear
image of waves propagating from the source. In the case of source-crossing planes waves
propagate in all planes (as it was expected) but particles move only in very well-determined
directions (empty frames in figures in Appendix 8 mean no motion at all).
5.1.3 Single force source
Single force source model can be used to simulate vibrations caused by unidirectional force.
In case shallow seismic exploration hammer or hammer source can be approximated by such
a source. But even if this kind of source is not very common in seismic exploration or
seismology analysis its unidirectional nature can be useful because waves generated by it are
very well separated and its polarization is clear. In these studies vertically directed force was
used in all cases.
5.2 Selected results and discussion
5.2.1 Isotropic medium
Propagation in simple isotropic models was calculated for comparison purposes. All
results should be easy to analyze and interpret and then be used as a background for
interpretations in case of more complicated media. All modeling results for this and the rest of
the media are presented in Appendix 8. As mentioned above, three kinds of sources were
used: explosive, double couple and single force. It is clearly visible that in the case of
explosive source and isotopic homogeneous medium wave-form propagation is very regular
and stable (fig. A8.1). As expected, almost all energy is propagating as a primary wave. Very
limited, almost invisible amounts of shear wave energy can be observed only in shifted planes
(fig. A8.2). It is due to the discrete character of computational grid and limited size of the
source. In case of planes crossing directly through the center point of the source these
energies are invisible because all the source forces are lying inside planes. This is also the
reason why there are almost no displacements in directions normal to presented planes (e.g.
plane X1 and x1 direction in figure A8.1). It is also important to mention that the relation
between point of evaluation and source location determines the sign of displacement value. In
46
case of motion directions other than direction of the planes an apparent phase change can be
visible (e.g. plane X1 and x2 direction). When motion direction is normal to plane (e.g. X1
and x1) there is no sign change and this effect is not visible.
In the case of double couple source, P- and S-wave fronts have purely circular shapes
(fig. A8.9-10). Used source mechanism makes S wave stronger and better visible. Typical
changes of wave phases with direction of propagation can also be noticed. Results obtained
for X2 plane are very similar to 2D ones. There is no “cross line” component but both P and S
waves are visible in “in line” and vertical directions. In X1 and X3 planes, motions of shear
wave-related particles are clearly visible in a direction normal to planes.
Results obtained for single force source (fig. A8.17-18) were exactly as expected. P
and S waves have circular shapes and only one shear wave propagates through the media. In
source crossing X3 plane, almost all of the energy is propagating as SV wave with no
polarization changes. In other source crossing X3 planes, P and S waves are visible and their
polarizations are consistent with the direction of the source.
5.2.2 HTI medium
In horizontally transverse isotropic medium which simulates rocks with vertical, parallel
fractures waves should propagate symmetrically along these structures (fig A8.3-4, A8.11-12,
A8.19-20). In analyzed model fractures are parallel to X1 plane. This is why in this plane
primary wave has circular shape whereas shear wave has ellipsoidal shape. It is due to motion
directions of particles involved in S-wave propagation. These directions are of course
perpendicular to X1 plane. In other words, if a particle moves parallel to the plane of isotropy
its motion will generate isotropic wave fronts. The other interesting phenomenon to discuss is
shear waves propagating from the exploding source (fig A8.3-4). This is easy to explain. In
the case of anisotropic media, even as simple as HTI, there is no clear differentiation between
P and S waves. More complicated relation between elastic constraints makes simple
exploding source, which produce only P wave, no longer possible. It is due to the fact that
some of source energy is radiated in directions perpendicular to the direction of motion. In
other words some of P-wave energy is converted into S waves in a source point even without
the presence of any media discontinuity.
In HTI media, a symmetrical propagation of double couple source results in a plane of
isotropy can be observed but in other planes relatively small amounts of - wave energy
propagates with angle dependent velocities (fig. A8.11-12). In shifted planes the shear wave
splitting phenomenon is visible. In X2 and X3 planes in pictures presenting x2 component of
motion two S-wave fronts are separated from each other. In this particular combination of
source mechanism and kind of anisotropy this effect is very easy to observe because most of
energy is propagating as shear waves, and phase variations make both modes better contrasted
(fig 5.2).
Combination of directly polarized source mechanism and HTI medium makes velocity
differences between S waves polarized in different directions clearly visible (fig. A8.19-20).
The other interesting phenomenon is the limited but visible amount of P-wave energy in
47
source crossing X3 plane. More complicated relations between elastic constraints makes P
wave visible in this plane even if no direct “compress” energy is radiated from the source
along x1 and x2 directions.

typu HTI. Zaprezentowano przemieszczenia w kierunku x2 w odsuniętej płaszczyźnie obserwacji X2 (lewy obraz) i
odsuniętej płaszczyźnie obserwacji X3 (prawy obraz).
5.2.3 VTI medium
In the case of VTI media and explosive source, results (fig. A8.5-6) are comparable to those
of HTI (fig. A8.3-4). It is because these two media are very similar to each other. When real
media are concerned the most important difference between them is the direction of parallel
fractures which are horizontally oriented in the case of VTI. This orientation of symmetry axis
is clearly visible in snapshot figures. In X1 and X2 planes P-wave fronts have ellipsoidal shape
whereas in X3 (horizontal) plane this front is circular. Shear wave splitting effect is better
visible in this case. In both source-crossing and shifted horizontal planes, it is possible to
separate two wave fronts which are crossing each other. This phenomenon is observed here
because the polarization of S waves varies with angle and the more energy is radiated with
particle vibrations along faster direction the faster the whole wave front is.

Fig 5.3 Wave propagation velocity in symmetry plane [X1, X3]
Rys 5.3 Prędkości propagacji fali w płaszczyźnie [X1,X3]
Double couple source generates results in VTI media similar to those observed for real fault-
related earthquakes in horizontally layered rocks. In “in line” cross section P wave
propagates faster along layers (fig. A8.13-14). Phase changes of the S waves determine
possible orientation of fault. In X1 plane S-wave front for x1 component is circular because in
this case all particles involved in shear wave propagation moves in the isotropic (“cross line”)
direction.
In the case of VTI media, results for single force source (fig. A8.21-22) are a very good
background for comparison with double couple source (fig. 5.4). Different orientations of the
symmetry axis are clearly visible (e.g. X2 plane x2 direction). Another interesting and
expected result is that the slightly more energy is radiated from source as P wave in the case
of single force. It is due more to the direct nature of this source.

5.2.4 Orthorhombic medium
Orthorhombic anisotropy is the most complicated case analyzed in this study. Results are
very similar to those of VTI case but some subtle but very important differences can be
spotted. The most important one is the expected rotation around X1 axis. It can be observed
that in the case of explosive source (fig. A8.7-8) there are almost no differences of P-wave
ellipsoid in VTI and orthorhombic case in X2 plane. In X3 plane, primary wave shape is no
longer a circle. It is an ellipsoid with a little bit longer horizontal axis (“flattened circle shape”
–fig 5.5). In X1 plane the longer axis of ellipsoid is shorter than that in VTI medium. The
second important fact is better separation of splitted shear waves propagating from source
point. At the same time sharper shapes of wave fronts (especially S waves) are observed. It is
49
probably a purely numerical phenomenon. As the possible explanation we can regard the fact
that in orthorhombic media axis of symmetry are no longer identical with axis of
computational frame.
Double couple source mechanism and additional axis of rotation make separation of shear
waves better visible in some plane-direction combinations (like X3-x1 for example in fig.
A8.15-16). But in the case of X3 plane and x2 (“cross line”), S waves are better separated in
results for VTI model. It could let us make a conclusion that in the case of double couple
source, anisotropic effects connected with S waves are easier to observe on a surface in case
of simpler, VTI model. The other important thing which this detailed study revealed is that
when a full analysis of anisotropy is necessary, tree component surface (on one plane)
recordings are insufficient.
Orthorhombic anisotropy and singe force source is the last analyzed case in this study (fig.
A8.23-24). All previously described phenomena like shear wave splitting and subtle
asymmetry of P-wave “circle” in X3 plane connected with this kind of anisotropy are visible.
The interesting thing to note is the similarity between these results and those of exploding
source. Of course in the case of explosion much more energy propagating as a P wave but
other characteristics are similar. It can be concluded that in numerical experiment focused on
P wave, explosion source should be used but when more energy of S wave is needed single
force source is better.

5.2.5 Heterogeneous orthorhombic medium
Orthorhombic medium was also a subject for further studies for bigger and more complicated
models. This time modeling of seismic wave propagation was made for a three-layer
model. The model dimension was 800 x 800 x 400 m. Layers’ borders were on 200
and 300 m depths. Two variants of the model were calculated. In the first one, the
50
central layer was orthorhombic whereas upper and lower were isotropic. In the second
one, all layers were isotropic but the central one was recalculated from orthorhombic
according to the previously mentioned rule. All parameters are presented in Table 1.
All test runs were done for 2 m grid point interval. Wave motion was modeled for 0.8 second.
As a source function a 40 Hz Ricker signal was used. All results were stored with 2 ms time
step. It is also important to mention that for models of this size and complication, 32 bit
computational architecture is no longer sufficient.

„cross-line”.
As it was expected differences between two analyzed models are clearly visible mostly
because of faster wave propagation in the horizontal direction in the anisotropic layer.
The additional phenomenon is a very sharp refracted wave in the upper layer. There
are also visible differences between in-line and cross-line directions in the case of
anisotropic model.
But in the case of ground recordings, the situation is a little bit different. Of course, these are
differences between iso- and anisotropic results but rather minor and hard to spot on synthetic
section. So in this case a difference seismogram is much more informative (figure 5.7.c). It is
clearly visible that in case of all three presented wave forms (top reflected, bottom reflected
and top converted) expected amplitude and time changes in the function of offset are present.

6. Summary
The basic aim of the presented study was to build, test and apply the effective parallel
algorithms to evaluate the seismic wave propagation in 3D anisotropic media. The further aim
was to find how important is the impact of the anisotropy on wave propagation for typical
anisotropy parameters and common seismic sources. Contrary to numerous theoretical studies
we have only used the direct method of evaluation – a numerical modeling.
Numerical algorithms used here for full-wave-field propagation modeling use stiffness tensor
of VTI and orthorhombic media. The more complicated models of anisotropy (like HTI or
TTI media) are deduced from the basic ones using the Bond matrices. It allows the
construction of efficient and universal programs that are in a position to evaluate wave fields
in the anisotropic medium (e.g. the same program can be used to model wave propagation in
numerous TTI media for different dip angles).
The results of modeling presented here are encouraging and interesting. The evaluated results
perfectly agree with theoretical models and prove the constructed software is correct, reliable
and well suited to modeling tasks. The important limitation of a numerical modeling is the
size of the model and number of iterations. The 3D anisotropic wave field modeling is
extremely time consuming and unrealizable in a single-node environment. The parallelization
of the computing process is the only effective way to face the real size models of the
geological medium and large offsets.
We can summarize the modeling results from the point of view of practical seismic
prospecting. We focus only on the impact of anisotropy on the shape of wave fronts and
propagation times. The results of performed modeling for different seismic sources show
relatively small differences between related isotropic and real anisotropic media. On the other
hand the most distinctive differences can be observed for heterogeneous, orthorhombic
medium for large offsets.
Another important result that can be drawn from the study is about the order of the differential
scheme used in computation. As it was expected the second order of time and space
expansion is the best compromise between speed and precision of modeling process. The
results of modeling with higher order differential schemes are not beneficial enough to
explain costs of additional computation time.
Further progress of a large scale and massive full-wave field propagation modeling strongly
depends on the progress in computer science especially in hardware development and new
methods of efficient computation. One of the promising techniques is utilization of GPU
instead of CPU, particularly in a multinode version. The experiences show that in this case
several dozens of acceleration can be achieved compared to standard CPU processing. In the
near future GPU processing will increase in importance allowing evaluation of the 3D
modeling with reasonable effort and in reasonable time.
