An effective scheme of joint migration inversion in the pseudo-time domain

Traditional full-waveform inversion is a non-linear and ill-posed inversion problem. To reduce the non-linearity of it, joint migration inversion (joint migration inversion) was proposed as an alternative. Joint migration inversion tries to minimize the mismatch between measured and modelled reflection data. One key feature of joint migration...

Real-time train motion parameter estimation using an Unscented Kalman Filter

Train movement dynamics are usually modelled by means of Newton's second law. The resulting dynamic equation can be very precise if the parameters that it depends on are determined accurately. However, these parameters may vary in time and show wide variations, making the calibration task nontrivial and jeopardizing the performance of a broad...

Efficient temperature estimation for thermally stratified storage tanks with buoyancy and mixing effects

Estimating the state thermal storage devices is key to use them efficiently to reduce the uncertainty of renewable sources. Although stratified storage tanks are one of the most efficient and cost-effective storage systems, they lack accurate state estimation methods. In this paper, we propose a general methodology for estimating the state of...

Parameter estimation for a global tide and surge model with a memory-efficient order reduction approach

Accurate parameter estimation for the Global Tide and Surge Model (GTSM) benefits from observations with long time-series. However, increasing the number of measurements leads to a large computation demand and increased memory requirements, especially for the ensemble-based methods that assimilate the measurements at one batch. In this study,...

Rheological characterisation of concentrated domestic slurry

The much over-looked element in new sanitation, the transport systems which bridge the source and treatment facilities, is the focus of this study. The knowledge of rheological properties of concentrated domestic slurry is essential for the design of the waste collection and transport systems. To investigate these properties, samples were...

3D surface-wave estimation and separation using a closed-loop approach

Surface waves in seismic data are often dominant in a land or shallow-water environment. Separating them from primaries is of great importance either for removing them as noise for reservoir imaging and characterization or for extracting them as signal for near-surface characterization. However, their complex properties make the surface-wave...
