Abstract We are concerned with elastic wave simulations arising in elastic, semi-infinite, heterogeneous, three-dimensional media with a vertical axis of symmetry through the coordinate origin. Specifically, we discuss the development of a new mixed displacement-stress formulation in PML-truncated axisymmetric media for forward elastic wave simulations. Typically, a perfectly-matched-layer (PML) is used to surround a truncated finite computational domain in order to attenuate outwardly propagating waves without reflections for all non-zero angles-of-incidence and frequencies. To date, standard formulations use split fields, where the displacement components are split into normal and parallel to the PML interface components. In More >
