Abstract
AbstractThe paper deals with finite–difference (f‐d) approach to simulation of elastic waves' propagation in anisotropic elastic media with general symmetry. Any implementation of this approach claims resolution of two key problems: construction of an effective f‐d scheme itself; we propose to use the Lebedev's scheme (LS) being a natural generalization of Virieux staggered grid scheme (VS) widely used for isotropy; we prove that LS possesses better dispersion properties in comparison with well known Rotated Staggered Grids Scheme (RSGS). stable domain distension. The Perfectly Matched Layers(PML) useful for isotropic problems can be unstable in the case of anisotropy. Lebedev scheme allows one to use Optimal Grids (OG) which gives a possibility to implement efficient and low cost domain distension. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
