Three-dimensional anisotropic seismic wave modelling in spherical coordinates by a collocated-grid finite-difference method

open access: yes, 2012
SUMMARY To simulate seismic wave propagation in the spherical Earth, the Earth’s curvature has to be taken into account. This can be done by solving the seismic wave equation in spherical coordinates by numerical methods.
