To reduce the data acquisition time, we propose a novel fast magnetic resonance imaging method based on parallel variable-density spiral acquisition, which combines undersampling optimization and nonlocal total variation reconstruction. The undersampling optimization promotes the incoherence of resultant aliasing artifact via the ＂worst-case＂ residual error metric, and thus accelerates the data acquisition. Moreover, nonlocal total variation reconstruction is utilized to remove such an incoherent aliasing artifact and so improve image quality. The feasibility of the proposed method is demonstrated by both numerical phantom simulation and in vivo experiment. The experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve high acceleration factor and effectively remove an aliasing artifact from data undersampling with well-preserved image details. The image quality is better than that achieved with the total variation method.展开更多

We develop a novel fully-decoupled numerical technique in this article which can achieve unconditional energy stability while explicitly discretizing nonlinear coupling items. The idea is invented on the basis of combining the Strang operator splitting method and the novel decoupling method by using the zero-energy-contribution property. The scheme only needs to solve a series of completely independent linear elliptic equations at each time step, in which the Cahn-Hilliard equation and the pressure Poisson equation are with constant coefficients. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the scheme, we provide the rigorous proof of the energy stability/solvability, and also perform ample accuracy and stability tests and 2D/3D numerical simulations, including the Rayleigh-Taylor instability and bubble rising dynamics.展开更多

Layer stripping using both seismic and gravity data is a solution for this problem but it cannot get satisfactory results because the horizontal variations in formation density are ignored. We present a variable-density formation separation technique to address this problem. Based on 3D seismic depth data and laterallyvariable density derived from 3D seismic velocity data, the upper formation gravity effect is calculated by forward modeling and removed from the Bouguer gravity. The formation-separated gravity anomaly with variable density is obtained, which mainly reflects the deeper geological structure. In block XX of North Africa, the shallow formations seismic data is excellent but the data at the top of basement is poor. The formation-separated gravity anomaly processed under the control of 3D seismic data fits well with the known seismic interpretation and wells. It makes the geological interpretation more reliable.展开更多
