Traveltime solution for the two dimensional Eikonal equation in an arbitrarily complex slowness field via first or second order conservative upwind difference formulations

The determination of first-arrival seismic traveltimes radiating outward from a point-source in an arbitrary slowness field plays an important role in methods which require knowledge of curved wavefronts in a complex domain. Adaptations of the 1st order upwind finite difference Godunov and 2nd MUSCL...
