Zhebel, E. (author), Minisini, S. (author), Kononov, A. (author), Mulder, W.A. (author)The finite-difference method is widely used for time-domain modelling of the wave equation because of its ease of implementation of high-order spatial discretization schemes, parallelization and computational efficiency. However, finite elements on tetrahedral meshes are more accurate in complex geometries near sharp interfaces. We compared the...conference paper 2012

Zhebel, E. (author), Minisini, S. (author), Mulder, W.A. (author)We solve the three-dimensional acoustic wave equation, discretized on tetrahedral meshes. Two methods are considered: mass-lumped continuous finite elements and the symmetric interior-penalty discontinuous Galerkin method (SIP-DG). Combining the spatial discretization with the leap-frog time-stepping scheme, which is second-order accurate and...conference paper 2012

Kazei, V.V. (author), Ponomarenko, A.V. (author), Troyan, V.N. (author), Kashtan, B.M. (author), Mulder, W.A. (author)Full waveform inversion suffers from local minima, due to a lack of low frequencies in the data. A reflector below the zone of interest may, however, help in recovering the long-wavelength components of a velocity perturbation, as demonstrated in a paper by Mora. With the Born approximation for the perturbation in a reference model consisting of...conference paper 2012

Kononov, A. (author), Minisini, S. (author), Zhebel, E. (author), Mulder, W.A. (author)Finite-element modelling of seismic wave propagation on tetrahedra requires meshes that accurately follow interfaces between impedance contrasts or surface topography and have element sizes proportional to the local velocity. We explain a mesh generation approach by example. Starting from a finite-difference representation of the velocity model,...conference paper 2012

Wirianto, M. (author), Mulder, W.A. (author), Slob, E.C. (author)In the application of controlled source electromagnetics for reservoir monitoring on land, the timelapse signal measured with a surface-to-surface acquisition can reveal the lateral extent on the surface of resistivity changes at depth in a hydrocarbon reservoir under production. However, a direct interpretation of the time-lapse signal may...conference paper 2012

Kavian, M. (author), Slob, E.C. (author), Mulder, W.A. (author)Macroscopic measurements of electrical resistivity require frequency-dependent effective models that honor the microscopic effects observable in macroscopic measurements. Effective models based on microscopic physics exist alongside with empirical models. We adopted an empirical model approach to modify an existing physical model. This provided...journal article 2012

Kavian, M. (author), Slob, E.C. (author), Mulder, W.A. (author)We measured the electric parameters for four different configurations of unconsolidated homogeneous and layered sands as a function of frequency, water saturation, and salinity under fluid flow conditions. Our objective is to determine if the effect of heterogeneities at scales much smaller than the skin depth can be captured by introducing...journal article 2011

Wirianto, M. (author), Mulder, W.A. (author), Slob, E.C. (author)In the application of controlled source electromagnetics for reservoir monitoring on land, repeatability errors in the source will mask the time-lapse signal due to hydrocarbon production when recording surface data close to the source. We demonstrate that at larger distances, the airwave will still provide sufficient illumination of the target....journal article 2011

Hak, B. (author), Mulder, W.A. (author)Seismic data enable imaging of the Earth, not only of velocity and density but also of attenuation contrasts. Unfortunately, the Born approximation of the constant-density visco-acoustic wave equation, which can serve as a forward modelling operator related to seismic migration, exhibits an ambiguity when attenuation is included. Different...journal article 2010

Van Leeuwen, T. (author), Mulder, W.A. (author)Wave-equation traveltime tomography tries to obtain a subsurface velocity model from seismic data, either passive or active, that explains their traveltimes. A key step is the extraction of traveltime differences, or relative phase shifts, between observed and modelled finite-frequency waveforms. A standard approach involves a correlation of the...journal article 2010

Van Leeuwen, T. (author), Mulder, W.A. (author)In seismic imaging, one tries to infer the medium properties of the subsurface from seismic reflection data. These data are the result of an active source experiment, where an explosive source and an array of receivers are placed at the surface. Due to the absence of low frequencies in the data, the corresponding inverse problem is strongly non...journal article 2009

Plessix, R.E. (author), Mulder, W.A. (author)We discuss some computational aspects of resistivity imaging by inversion of offshore controlled-source electromagnetic data. We adopt the classic approach to imaging by formulating it as an inverse problem. A weighted least-squares functional measures the misfit between synthetic and observed data. Its minimization by a quasi-Newton algorithm...journal article 2008

Mulder, W.A. (author)The performance of a multigrid solver for time-harmonic electromagnetic problems in geophysical settings was investigated. With the low frequencies used in geophysical surveys for deeper targets, the light-speed waves in the earth can be neglected. Diffusion of induced currents is the dominant physical effect. The governing equations were...journal article 2008

Mulder, W.A. (author), Wirianto, M. (author), Slob, E.C. (author)We modeled time-domain EM measurements of induction currents for marine and land applications with a frequency-domain code. An analysis of the computational complexity of a number of numerical methods shows that frequency-domain modeling followed by a Fourier transform is an attractive choice if a sufficiently powerful solver is available. A...journal article 2007

Jönsthövel, T.B. (author), Oosterlee, C.W. (author), Mulder, W.A. (author)We evaluated multigrid techniques for 3D diffusive electromagnetism. The Maxwell equations and Ohm's law were discretised on stretched grids, with stretching in all coordinate directions. We compared standard multigrid to alternative multigrid approaches with linewise smoothing and semi-coarsening, both as a stand-alone solver and as a...conference paper 2006
