Modeling Of Elastic Wave Propagation On Irregular Triangular Grids Using A Finite-Volume Method

We present a finite-volume method for the modeling of wave propagation on irregular triangular grids. This method is based on an integral formulation of the wave equation via Gauss's theorem and on spatial discretization via Delaunay and Dirichlet tessellations. We derive the equations for bo...
