Abstract: We illustrate a technique of ray tracing by shooting method and analyze rules of ray in VTI coal. With mixed-language programming of VC ++ and Fortran, ray tracing in VTI coal with a complex velocity model is realized. It demonstrates necessaries of anisotropic ray tracing in VTI coal by comparison of ray tracing in VTI coal and isotropic media. By contrast of calculation time, it indicates that this method is efficient to meet needs of seismic records forward. The technique can be used in multi-wave ray tracing in anisotropic coal as giving responding formulae and parameters.

Key words: VTI coal, ray tracing, anisotropy
