Fourth-Order Finite Difference Acoustic Logs In A Transversely Isotropic Formation

In this paper we present a finite difference scheme for seismic wave propagation in a fluid-filled borehole in a transversely isotropic formation. The first-order hyperbolic differential equations are approximated explicitly on a staggered grid using an algorithm that is fourth-order accurate in...
