   Hello,

   I have been using both the k-space fluid model with power-law attenuation (kspaceFirstOrder) and the viscoelastic model (pstdElastic). I was wondering if the viscoelastic model will reduce to the fluid model with power-law attenuation if you set the shear velocity and attenuation to zero for the viscoelastic model and the power-law coefficient to y=2 for the fluid model?

   Thanks in advance!

   Best regards,
   Frank

   Hi Frank,

   The theories starts from slightly different premises and the numerical methods are not identical, but if you're careful how the sources are defined then they should be pretty similar, yes. Did you find that?

   Best wishes
   Ben
