Abstract

We develop a compact fourth-order scheme for the three-dimensional elastic wave equation in frequency space, using the first-order velocity-stress formulation. The scheme is implemented numerically for homogeneous media on a staggered grid, and both the acoustic and elastic cases are considered. We use a one-directional point source of impact, for which Pilant developed a closed solution. Numerical results for the acoustic and the elastic cases compare favorably with the analytic solutions and show a very significant improvement over the second-order scheme.
