Wave Modeling Gets a Neural Boost

A physics-informed neural network framework models viscoacoustic wave propagation by independently approximating pressure, velocity, and absorption-with the velocity and absorption networks activated only during inversion-and leverages automatic differentiation to construct a loss function, demonstrating how complex physical systems can be represented and solved through interconnected, adaptable networks.

A new framework leverages the power of physics-informed neural networks to accurately simulate and invert viscoacoustic wave propagation, even with limited data.
