Abstract: Higher-order Pade approximations are applied to derive accurate and stable parabolic equations for sound propagation in oceans bounded below by an elastic bottom or bounded above by ice cover. Accuracy is achieved by placing constraints on the derivatives of the Pade approximations at the point corresponding to the reference wave number. Stability is achieved by requiring that the Pade approximations map part of the lower-left quadrant of the complex plane into the upper half of the complex plane. Elastic parabolic equations based on these Pade series can handle problems involving compressional, shear, and interface waves, very wide propagation angles, and large depth variations and weak range variations in the seismoacoustic parameters. A finite-difference spectral solution is developed for generating reference solutions and starting fields. The rotated elastic parabolic equation is used to investigate the accuracy of the elastic parabolic equation for range-dependent problems.

TL;DR: In this article, a similarity transformation is used to transform the constitutive equations into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, and the resultant system of equations is then solved numerically using implicit finite difference method.
TL;DR: In this article, two cell-centered finite difference schemes on Voronoi meshes are derived and investigated, and the stability and error estimates in a discrete H1-norm for both symmetric and nonsymmetric problems, including convection dominated, are proven.
