Discontinuous Galerkin time domain methods for acoustics and comparison with finite difference time domain methods

This thesis describes an implementation of the discontinuous Galerkin finite element time domain (DGTD) method on unstructured meshes to solve acoustic wave equations in heterogeneous media. In oil industry people use finite difference time domain (FDTD) methods to simulate seismic surveys, the firs...
