Conversion of root mean square or interval velocity into average

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on converting root mean square velocity (Vrms) and interval velocity (Vint) into average velocity for depth conversion in seismic data analysis. The DIX equation has been used to derive interval velocity from Vrms, but the user seeks a method to calculate average velocity from the provided two-way time and velocity data. The relationship between these quantities is crucial for accurate depth conversion in subsurface seismic studies. The user has shared specific data points at a particular common depth point (CDP) to facilitate the discussion. A suggested resource is provided for further guidance on seismic depth conversion techniques.

I really ain't sure whether my problem is mathematical or related to Physics but i most probably think it has a mathematical solution.

I am have a situation where I have subsurface seismic velocity windows at certain Depth points. In the window I have been given the two-way time in seconds and root mean square velocity (Vrms). I have used the DIX equation to convert Vrms into interval velocity (Vint) but i need average velocity for depth conversion i.e time into depth.

I am giving you the data at a particular CDP. Please tell me the relationship that can be made between the given quantities to find the required (average velocity).

time----Vrms----Vint
0-----1500----1940
0.31----1940----2058
0.62----2000----2510
0.85----2150----3821
0.97----2420----3312
1.15----2580----5403
1.23----2850----4399
1.35----3020----4353
1.96----3490----5286
2.57----3990----5403
5------4730

Thread 'Area of Overlapping Squares'

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
