Numerical simulation of a borehole sidewall acoustic transmitter for single-well reflection imaging logging用于单井反射成像测井的井眼侧壁声发射器的数值模拟 by Jianlin Ben, Hong Zhang, Lingfan Chen

“…Analysis of the acoustic field in rock formation shows that the radiation characteristics of the transmitter in two different work modes resemble those of tubular monopole and cross-dipole sources, respectively. Observations of an array of waveforms in the borehole suggest that the transmitter plays a crucial role in reducing the direct waves; meanwhile, the reflections also diminish, yet the ratios of their amplitudes to those of the direct waves enhance, especially for the reflected P-waves. …”
