Modeling seismic wave propagation using staggered-grid mimetic finite differences
Journal Title: Bulletin of Computational Applied Mathematics (Bull CompAMa) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Mimetic finite difference (MFD) approximations of continuous gradient and divergence operators satisfy a discrete version of the Gauss-Divergence theorem on staggered grids. On the mimetic approximation of this integral conservation principle, an unique boundary flux operator is introduced that also intervenes on the discretization of a given boundary value problem (BVP). In this work, we present a second-order MFD scheme forseismic wave propagation on staggered grids that discretized free surface and absorbing boundary conditions (ABC) with same accuracy order. This scheme is time explicit after coupling a central three-level finite difference (FD) stencil for numerical integration. Here, we briefly discuss the convergence properties of this scheme and show its higher accuracy on a challenging test when compared to a traditional FD method. Preliminary applications to 2-D seismic scenarios are also presented and show the potential of the mimetic finite difference method.

Solving the KPI wave equation with a moving adaptive FEM grid
The Kadomtsev-Petviashvili I (KPI) equation is the difficult nonlinear wave equation $U_{xt} + 6U_x^2 + 6UU_{xx} + U_{xxxx} = 3U_{yy}.$ We solve this equation using PDE2D (www.pde2d.com) with initial conditions consisti...

Transitivity of parametric family of cardinality-based fuzzy similarity measures using Lukasiewicz t-norm
In fuzzy logic, where members of a set might be linguistic terms, the degree of reflexivity might be in unit interval [0,1] instead of {0,1}. This behaviour of a fuzzy set plays an important role especially in the field...
