Abstract

The formation of mathematical models in seismology and seismic prospecting describing seismic wave propagation in real, media has gained considerable importance. In interpretation of seismic data, of particular importance is the selection of suitable assumptions of the real geological medium. However, real geological media are known to be different from those absolutely elastic. In seismic wave propagation absorption takes place, which is due to the partial transformation of elastic oscillations of energy to other kinds of energy (heat energy, for example). A computational experiment for these models on a computer requires further development of methods for computing complete seismic fields in non-homogeneous media. The authors propose a semi-analytical method for solving the forward dynamic seismic problems for inhomogeneous Boltzman’s media with a linear sequence.
