Space-time ray method for seismic wave fields

Summary The space-time ray method can be applied to the evaluation and continuation (extrapolation) of the complete seismic wave field in laterally inhomogeneous media with curved interfaces. The wave field propagates along certain space-time curves, called space-time rays. Their space projections correspond to standard rays. Examples of possible applications of the space-time ray method, where the standard ray method fails, are as follows: a) The propagation of seismic waves in slightly dissipative media, b) The computation of seismic wave fields generated by seismic sources with direction-dependent source-time variations. c) Downward continuation of the seismic wave field (actual seismograms) measured at the Earth's surface.     

Parabolic Equation Techniques for Seismic Waves

These techniques provide an excellent combination of accuracy and efficiency for problems involving laterally varying media. Due to recent improvements, the parabolic equation method is applicable to problems involving wide propagation angles, large variations in the properties of the medium, and all types of waves.     

Born序列频散方程和Born-Kirchhoff传播算子

传统的Kirchhoff传播算子结构简洁,适用于描述横向均匀介质中波的传播.Ray-Kirchhoff传播算子较为精确地描述了波在非均匀介质中传播的运动学特征,其理论上的先天不足依赖于介质的复杂性.本文通过Born序列逼近波在非均匀介质中传播的大角度波分量,提出一种Born-Kirchhoff传播算子,将传统Kirchhoff传播算子的适用范围扩展至非均匀介质,同时描述波的运动学和动力学特征,其精度取决于Born序列逼近的阶数.利用Born序列频散方程,可以精确分析各阶Born-Kirchhoff传播算子对波长、传播角和非均质性的尺度依赖特征,其中,一阶Born-Kirchhoff传播算子的精度高于传统的相屏传播算子.波数域的Born-Kirchhoff传播算子对于高波数波是奇异的,导致波数域数值计算发散,但其空间域版本是非奇异的,无条件数值稳定,可通过Kirchhoff求和数值实施.本文给出各阶Born-Kirchhoff传播算子及其频散方程,可用于不同程度非均匀介质中的波传播模拟,复杂构造地震成像和速度估计.本文利用零阶和一阶Born-Kirchhoff传播算子计算简单二维模型的合成地震图,并与边界元法进行了比较.

基于牛顿迭代法求解群速度的地震波射线追踪模拟

地下介质中普遍存在着各向异性,当前基于各向异性的地震波射线追踪多是在弱各向异性介质中进行且采用群速度近似表示方法,这些近似方法在强各项异性介质中会导致很大误差而无法真正模拟地震波的传播规律。根据地下普遍存在各向异性的事实和地震波基本传播规律,提出利用牛顿迭代法高效求解群速度,基于Paraview平台自动化构建三维地质模型,采用最短路径法进行地震波射线追踪模拟及可视化,实现对复杂三维地质的速度不均匀性和各向异性的表达,为三维地质模型的构建和地震波射线追踪模拟及可视化提供一种新思路,并以华北克拉通山西断陷带北部局部区域为例进行研究。结果表明,该方法能够减少由各向异性对地震波传播模拟造成的影响,清晰表达了研究区地质结构和各向异性特点,在对复杂三维地质结构的解读中能够较好应用。     

Ray–Kirchhoff multicomponent borehole seismic modelling in 3D heterogeneous, anisotropic media

Kirchhoff–Helmholtz (KH) theory is extended to synthesize two-way elastic wave propagation in 3D laterally heterogeneous, anisotropic media. I have developed and tested numerically a specialized algorithm for the generation of three-component synthetic seismograms in multi-layered isotropic and transversely isotropic (TI) media with dipping interfaces and tilted axes of symmetry. This algorithm can be applied to vertical seismic profile (VSP) geometries and works well when the receiver is located near the reflector interface. It is superior to ray methods in predicting elliptical polarization effects observed on radial and transverse components. The algorithm is used to study converted-wave propagation for determining fracture-related shear-wave anisotropy in realistic reservoir models. Results show that all wavefront attributes are strongly affected by the anisotropy. However, it is necessary to resolve a trade-off between the effects of fractures and formation dip prior to converted-wave interpretation. These results provide some assurance that the present scheme is sufficiently versatile to handle shear wave behaviour due to various generalized rays propagating in complex geological models.     

Surface waves in isotropic,laterally inhomogeneous media

Summary Two different viewpoints of the phase velocities of the elastic surface waves in isotropic, laterally inhomogeneous media have led to inconsistent results. Arguments in terms of surface wave modes give the conclusion that the phase velocity is independent of the propagation direction, while the outcome of calculations based on a constructive interference of body waves in a surface layer is that the phase velocity is dependent on the propagation direction. Both arguments are summarized and an error in the calculations giving dependence is pointed out. The calculations and observations of surface wave amplitude changes in laterally inhomogeneous media are also summarized.

THE APPLICATION OF PML BOUNDARY CODITIONS IN THE SIMULATION OF SEISMIC WAVE BY THE HIGH-ORDER STAGGERED-GRID FINITE DIFFERENCES AT THE TRANSVERSELY ISOTROPIC MEDIA

In the realm of the numerical simulation, finite difference method and finite element method are more intuitive and effective than other simulation methods. In the process of simulating seismic wave propagation, the finite differences method is widely used because of its high computational efficiency and the advantage of the algorithm is more efficient. With the demand of precision, more and more researchers have proposed more effective methods of finite differences, such as the high-order staggered-grid finite differences method, which can restore the actual process of wave propagation on the premise of ensuring accuracy and improving the efficiency of operation. In the past numerical simulation of seismic wave field, different models of isotropic medium are mostly used, but it is difficult to reflect the true layer situation. With the research demand of natural seismology and seismic exploration, the research on anisotropic media is more and more extensive. Transversely isotropic(TI)media can well simulate the seismic wave propagation in the formation medium, such as gas-bearing sandstone, mudstone, shale et al., the character of TI media is reflected by introducing the Thomsen parameters to reflect its weak anisotropy of vertical direction by using Thomson parameter. Therefore, studying the process of seismic wave propagation in TI media can restore the true information of the formation to the greatest extent, and provide a more reliable simulation basis for the numerical simulation of seismic wave propagation. In the geodynamic simulation and the numerical simulation of the seismic wave field, under the limited influence of the calculation area, if no boundary conditions are added, a strong artificial boundary reflection will be generated, which greatly reduces the validity of the simulation. In order to minimize the influence of model boundaries on the reflection of seismic waves, it is often necessary to introduce absorbing boundary conditions. At present, there are three types of absorption boundary conditions: one-way wave absorption boundary, attenuation absorption boundary, and perfectly matched layer(PML)absorption boundary. In terms of numerical simulation of seismic waves, the boundary absorption effect of PML is stronger than the first two, which is currently the most commonly used method, and it also represents the cutting-edge development direction of absorption boundary technology. The perfectly matched layer absorbing boundary is effectively applied to eliminating the reflective waves from model boundaries, but for transversely isotropic medium, the effect of the absorbing is not very well. For this reason, the elastic dynamic wave equations in transversely isotropic media are derived, and we describe a second-order accurate time, tenth-order accurate space, formulation of the Madariaga-Virieux staggered-grid finite difference methods with the perfectly matched layer(PML)are given. In addition, we have established vertical transversely isotropic(VTI)media and arbitrary inclined tilted transversely isotropic(TTI)media models, using a uniform half-space velocity model and a two-layer velocity model, respectively. By combining the actual geoscience background, we set the corresponding parameters and simulation conditions in order to make our model more research-oriented. When setting model parameters, different PML thickness, incident angle, source frequency and velocity layer models were transformed to verify the inhibition of boundary reflection effect by PML absorption boundary layer. The implementations of this simulation show that the formula is correct and for the transversely isotropic(TI)media of any angular symmetry axis, when the thickness of the PML layer reaches a certain value, the seismic wave reflection effect generated by the artificial boundary can be well suppressed, and the absorption effect of PML is not subject to changes in incident angle and wave frequency. Therefore, the results of our study indicate that our research method can be used to simulate the propagation process of seismic waves in the transversely isotropic(TI)media without being affected by the reflected waves at the model boundary to restore the actual formation information and more valuable geological research.     

ELASTIC WAVE PROPAGATION IN TRANSVERSELY ISOTROPIC MEDIA USING FINITE DIFFERENCES1

When treating the forward full waveform case, a fast and accurate algorithm for modelling seismic wave propagation in anisotropic inhomogeneous media is of considerable value in current exploration seismology. Synthetic seismograms were computed for P-SV wave propagation in transversely isotropic media. Among the various techniques available for seismic modelling, the finite-difference method possesses both the power and flexibility to model wave propagation accurately in anisotropic inhomogeneous media bounded by irregular interfaces. We have developed a fast high-order vectorized finite-difference algorithm adapted for the vector supercomputer. The algorithm is based on the fourth-order accurate MacCormack-type splitting scheme. Solving the equivalent first-order hyperbolic system of equations, instead of the second-order wave equation, avoids computation of the spatial derivatives of the medium's anisotropic elastic parameters. Examples indicate that anisotropy plays an important role in modelling the kinematic and the dynamic properties of the wave propagation and should be taken into account when necessary.

Seismic Wave Propagation and Excitation in Multi-layered Media with Irregular Interfaces Part (Ⅰ): SH Case

Study of seismic wave excitation and propagation in laterally heterogeneous media was an active and important subject in seismology in the past two decades, numerous analytical and numerical efforts have been made in this research field. In this article, I have, first, made a brief review on those developments and then introduced and summarized a unified and efficient method, global generalized reflection-transmission (abbreviated to R/T thereafter) matrices method, for synthetic seismograms in multi-layered media with irregular interfaces developed by the author [24~26]. As demonstrated in this article, this method could be regarded as an extension of the generalized R/T coefficients method for the horizontally layered case [2,5] to the layered media with irregularly shaped interfaces by incorporating the T matrices technique [27,28]. Because of the use of a recursive scheme in computing the global generalized R/T matrices, this method is efficient, particularly for the case with a large number of irre     

虑传播效应的多波保幅AVO正演(英文)

传统的AVO正演只考虑了单一界面的反射系数对地震波波场振幅的影响,忽略了地震波在介质中传播的各种传播效应。通过引入地震波在介质中传播的几何扩散、吸收衰减以及透射损失等传播效应,提出了基于射线理论的水平层状介质多波保幅AVO正演方法。推导了水平层状介质多波几何扩散校正公式,来描述多波在介质中传播的几何扩散效应。通过直接引入复旅行时,而无需借助复速度,建立了复旅行时与品质因子的关系,来描述粘弹介质的吸收衰减。直接求解Zoeppritz方程计算多波的透射系数,用于描述多波在介质中传播时的透射损失。数值计算表明,几何扩散、吸收衰减以及透射损失对多波振幅的影响是随偏移距变化而变化的,多波保幅AVO正演需要考虑波传播效应对反射波振幅的改造。     

随机弹性介质中地震波散射衰减分析(英文)

地震波衰减一直是许多学科研究的热点,因为可以反映介质的特性。导致地震波衰减的因素很多,如:传播过程中由于能量扩散导致的几何衰减,固体岩石内部晶粒间相对滑移导致的摩擦衰减,岩石结构不均匀引起的地震波散射衰减。本文主要从统计的观点出发,通过多次数值模拟的方法研究纵波散射在随机弹性介质中所引发的衰减。首先用随机理论建立了二维空间随机弹性介质模型,然后用错格伪谱法的数值方法模拟了波在随机介质中的传播,再通过波场中虚拟检波器的记录,用谱比法估计了弹性波在随机介质中的散射衰减。不同非均匀程度随机弹性介质中的数值结果表明:介质不均匀程度越高,散射衰减越大;在散射体尺寸小于波长的前提下,不同散射体尺寸的计算结果说明:散射体尺寸越大,弹性波衰减越明显。最后提出了一种不均匀孔隙介质中流体流动衰减的方法。通过对随机孔隙介质中地震波的总衰减和散射衰减分别进行了计算,并定量得出了随机孔隙介质中流体流动衰减,结果表明:在实际地震频段下,当介质不均匀尺度101米量级时,散射衰减比流体流动衰减要大,散射衰减是地震波在实际不均匀岩石孔隙介质中衰减的主要原因。     

The Numerical Modeling of 3-D Elastic Wave Equation Using a High-Order,Staggered-Grid, Finite Difference Scheme

This article provides the application of the high-order, staggered-grid, finite-difference scheme to model elastic wave propagation in 3-D isotropic media. Here, we use second-order, temporal-and high-order spatial finite-difference formulations with a staggered grid for discretization of the 3-D elastic wave equations of motion. The set of absorbing boundary conditions based on paraxial approximations of 3-D elastic wave equations are applied to the numerical boundaries. The trial resuits for the salt model show that the numerical dispersion is decreased to a minimum extent, the accuracy high and diffracted waves abundant. It also shows that this method can be used for modeling wave propagation in complex media with the lateral variation of velocity.
