Specifications

• Modeling for acoustic, constant-density acoustic, elastic, VTI, VTI-acoustic, TTI media
• Viscoacoustic and viscoelastic modeling
• Arbitrary (on-grid) source and receiver geometries
• Generation of shot gathers and wavefield snapshots
• Source types: explosive, shear, directional force
• Highly effective perfectly-matched layer absorbing boundaries
• Optional free-surface conditions
• Up to eighth order optimized spatial difference operators to allow for coarser grids and control numerical dispersion
• Automatic stability check gives recommendation for time step and FD operator order
• Dual parallelization for model decomposition and simultaneous multi-shot modeling

Technical specifications

• Support of 64-bit and 32-bit linux platforms
• Java User Interface with tutorial

Applications

• Micro scale: modeling of wave propagation in drill cores
• Large models: tested for model sizes larger than 1000x1000x500 cells
• 3D surveys: used for modeling a survey with >5000 shots and 3D receiver coverage, producing >1TeraByte of data
• Long-term simulations: stability has been verified for >30s of wave propagation, >20min for acoustic models

The code is available for leasing but we can realize modelling studies as well.
