-# We will start with the definitions of the grid and the physical parameters $v_{p}, \theta, \epsilon, \delta$. For simplicity, we won't use any absorbing boundary conditions to avoid reflections of outgoing waves at the boundaries of the computational domain, but we will have boundary conditions (zero Dirichlet) at $x=0,nx$ and $z=0,nz$ for the solution of the Poisson equation. We use a homogeneous model. The model is discretized with a grid of $101 \times 101$ and spacing of 10 m. The $v_{p}, \epsilon, \delta$ and $\theta$ parameters of this model are 3600 m∕s, 0.23, 0.17, and 45°, respectively.
