Abstract:
The problem of complicated seismic velocity distributions was therefore investigated in terms of the most appropriate use of the digital computer. For this investigation a velocity field was set up, and the propagation computations made for short segments of rays within this field. Total travel times are found by adding the travel times of connected ray segments. Essentially, the nature of propagation was duplicated on the computer, in that, at the location of each segment along the path of propagation, the initial condition and effect of the surroundings determine the succeeding direction of the following segment.
