Modelado sísmico en un medio con atenuación usando la ecuación de onda fraccionaria - Difusión-Onda

In seismic exploration it is important to obtain good seismic images of the structure of the earth to find possible reservoirs. Seismic images of geological structures that are beneath gas saturated zones can be of poor quality, due to the fact that seismic waves that are generated by the sources, loss energy there. Therefore, some regions are poorly illuminated. Currently, several techniques that can improve the seismic images are being used, correcting the energy losses due to attenuation. This can be accomplished, for example, using appropriate models of seismic propagation. This work addresses this problem using the concept of fractional derivatives, which can describe the effect of wave attenuation.
