Numerical modeling of wave processes in layered media in the Arctic region

Resumo

The aim of this work is the numerical simulation of wave propagation in media with linear-elastic and acoustic layers as exemplified by the seismic prospecting problems in the Arctic region and the explosive impact on an iceberg. The complete system of equations describing the state of a linearly elastic body and the system of equations describing the acoustic field are solved. The grid-characteristic method is used to provide the contact and boundary conditions, including the contact condition between acoustic and linear-elastic layers, to be correctly described.
