August 2021 • Yijia Li, Jing Wang, Zhengfang Wang, Qingmei Sui, Ziming Xiong
The travel time computation of microseismic waves in different directions (particularly, the diagonal direction) in three-dimensional space has been found to be inaccurate, which seriously affects the localization accuracy of three-dimensional microseismic sources. In order to solve this problem, this research study developed a method of calculating the P-wave travel time based on a 3D high-order fast marching method (3D_H_FMM). This study focused on designing a high-order finite-difference operator in order to re…
