MondaicThis micro-tutorial compares different parameterizations of acoustic media and demonstrates how to run VTI acoustic simulations with SalvusProject. The concept is shown for a simple 2-D layered medium, but it works just the same in 3-D by just adding an extra dimension.
import numpy as np

import salvus.namespace as sn
# Run simulations on this site.
SALVUS_FLOW_SITE_NAME = os.environ.get("SITE_NAME", "local")# Either load an existing project or create a new one.
p = sn.Project.from_domain(

# Should match the volume model.

We start with an isotropic acoustic model with 3 layers using a custom
bm model file.%%writefile layered_model.bm

Similarly, we introduce a VTI layered model, where the second and third layer have a higher wave speed in horizontal direction.

The anisotropic parameters for vertical and horizontal P-wave velocities cam also
represent an isotropic medium equivalent to the first example when using the same value for
VPV and VPH.%%writefile layered_model_fake_ani.bm

Now, we create simulation configurations for all three 1D models. Obviously, the fake anisotropic model will result in the same waveforms as the isotropic model.

Finally, we highlight two more model parameterizations for anisotropic acoustic material using the Thomsen parameters and a second-order tensor, which can be seen as a reduced form of the 4th-order elastic tensor.
We add two more meshes representing the equivalent isotropic and anisotropic media in this parameterization as

At the surface of the domain, we consider a single point source at the center of the horizontal extent and model a linear array of receivers with a spacing of 20 m.

It is time to actually run the simulations for all 5 scenarios.

Of course, regardless of the parameterization of the medium, the waveforms of all isotropic simulations coincide. The same is true for both anisotropic parameterizations. Note, however, the difference between isotropic and anisotropic material.
