Abstract

AbstractThe absorbing boundary conditions to avoid artificial boundary reflections are required in numerical simulation of seismic wave propagation. In this paper, on the base of paraxial approximations, we present a set of absorbing boundary conditions of 3‐D elastic wave equations and apply them to 3‐D elastic wave numerical modeling in isotropic medium. The snapshots of the theoretical and salt models show that they reduce artificial reflections to a great extent and absorb energy over a wide range of incident angles. Since using forth‐order approximations, they save computer storage and are convenient to implement.
