An Amplitude And Traveltime Calculation Using A Higher-Order Parabolic Equation

A higher-order parabolic equation is used to compute the traveltime (phase) and the amplitude in constant density acoustic media. This approach is in the frequency domain, thereby avoiding the high frequency approximation inherent in the Eikonal equation. Intrinsic attenuation can be naturally in...
