QP Wave Forward Modeling and Illumination Analysis in Viscoelastic VTI Media by One-way Wave Equation

Seismic forward modeling and illumination analysis can help people understand the laws of seismic wave propagation in subsurface media which can guide the design of recording geometry and provide insufficient foundations for the processing and interpretation of seismic data. Experiments and theoretical analysis demonstrate that subsurface media exhibit not only anisotropic properties but also the anelastic properties, which are commonly denoted by viscoelastic model. In this abstract, we calculated the qP wavefields and the illumination of viscoelastic VTI media by one-way wave equation method and studied the propagating laws of qP wave in this kind of media.
