Numerical modeling of wave processes in 3D fractured media

Abstract

Seismic response from the cluster of vertical oriented cracks is simulated using grid-characteristic method on parallelepiped structured meshes. Synthetic seismograms and wave fields are calculated. The structure of the response including dependency on type of saturator (gas, fluid) is analyzed. Numerical experiments showed the effect of high-frequency daisy-chain wave’s generation from 3D periodic structures.
