目前完全弹性介质中面波频散特征的研究已较为完善,多道面波分析技术(MASW)在近地表勘探领域也取得了较好的效果,但黏弹介质中面波的频散特征研究依然较少.本文基于解析函数零点求解技术,给出了完全弹性、常Q黏弹和Kelvin-Voigt黏弹层状介质中勒夫波频散特征方程的统一求解方法.对于每个待计算频率,首先根据传递矩阵理论得到勒夫波复频散函数及其偏导的解析递推式,然后在复相速度平面上利用矩形围道积分和牛顿恒等式将勒夫波频散特征复数方程的求根问题转化为等价的连带多项式求解问题,最后通过求解该连带多项式的零点得到多模式勒夫波频散曲线与衰减系数曲线.总结了地层速度随深度递增和夹低速层条件下勒夫波频散特征根在复相速度平面上的运动规律和差异.证明了频散曲线交叉现象在复相速度平面上表现为:随频率增加,某个模式特征根的移动轨迹跨越了另一个模式特征根所在的圆,并给出了这个圆的解析表达式.研究还表明,常Q黏弹地层中的基阶模式勒夫波衰减程度随频率近似线性增加,而Kelvin-Voigt黏弹地层中的基阶模式勒夫波衰减程度随频率近似指数增加,且所有模式总体衰减程度强于常Q黏弹地层中的情况.

黏弹性介质中瑞雷面波正演模拟及频散特征分析

正演模拟是瑞雷面波研究的一个主要方面,目前对于瑞雷面波的正演研究大多是基于均匀层状弹性介质条件下的瑞雷面波频散曲线方程,这只适用于层状模型,无法模拟全波场,而且不考虑实际介质的黏弹效应.本文采用交错网格高阶有限差分法对黏弹性介质中的瑞雷面波进行了高精度全波场模拟,并对频散特征进行了提取与分析.其中采用属于非线性最优化的Levenberg-Marquarat方法直接计算松弛时间来拟合常Q模型,并将应力镜像法与紧致差分格式相结合来准确实施自由表面条件,在其余边界处以非分裂的多轴卷积完全匹配层为吸收边界.然后利用相移法从地震记录中提取频散剖面并对几种典型模型的面波频散特征进行了对比分析.结果表明黏弹性对面波的频散特性有显著影响,面波勘探中有必要考虑黏弹性因素.     

层状黏弹性介质中Rayleigh波频散曲线“交叉”现象分析

Rayleigh波勘探方法在探测近地表横波速度、动力学特征等环境与工程地球物理领域获得了广泛应用.这种方法以弹性层状介质理论为基础,然而实际介质具有黏弹性,研究面波在层状黏弹性介质中的传播特征,将为近地表面波勘探提供有益帮助.在某些弹性层状介质模型中,例如存在低速夹层和强波阻抗差异地层模型,Rayleigh波相邻两条频散曲线彼此会非常靠近,产生看似彼此"交叉"的现象,即"osculation"现象,但对于黏弹性介质中的这种现象并没有进行相关的研究.本文利用Muller法计算层状黏弹性介质Rayleigh波频散方程,基于层状介质模型中Rayleigh波频散和衰减曲线连续的性质,结合本征位移曲线特征,分析二层黏弹性介质模型中Rayleigh波频散曲线"交叉"现象以及"交叉"点附近的波动特性.结果表明:与弹性介质相比,黏弹性介质中Rayleigh波的波动特性存在明显差异,随着介质对地震波的损耗越来越强,将导致Rayleigh波频散曲线发生"交叉"现象.     

黏弹性介质中瑞雷波有限差分数值模拟与波场分析

瑞雷面波经常被用来反演地表浅层横波速度,受到越来越广泛的关注。对瑞雷波的研究一般都基于完全弹性介质,而实际地层更接近黏弹性介质,对黏弹性介质中的瑞雷面波进行模拟更具实际意义。本文采用广义标准线性体模型来描述黏弹性介质,并采用交错网格有限差分法对考虑水平自由表面的黏弹介质进行正演模拟,再与弹性介质中的结果进行对比分析。首先采用非线性最优化算法根据期望常数品质因子直接求取松弛时间来拟合常Q模型,并给出广义标准线性固体的具体算例,实施自由表面条件时采用声学-弹性边界近似法,通过剪切模量不变来考虑自由表面上、下横向应力保持连续的条件。对于非自由表面,采用非分裂的多轴卷积完全匹配层来吸收波场。然后对几种典型的数值模型进行正演模拟计算,数值解与解析解的对比验证了本文方法的准确性与有效性,正演结果的对比表明波场尤其是面波频散会受黏弹性影响,因此有必要在面波勘探中考虑黏弹性因素。      

基于高阶广义标准线性体模型的三维黏弹性介质弹性波正演模拟

吸收衰减是地震波在实际地球介质中传播的固有特征.在实际应用中,通常假设表征吸收衰减特征的品质因子Q在地震频带范围内不随频率变化.高阶广义流变模型能够在时间域内精确的表征品质因子Q不随频率变化的特征,为黏弹性介质波动方程精细模拟奠定了基础.基于广义标准线性体模型理论,采用最小二乘拟合方法对Q值不随频率变化特征进行拟合,分析了不同阶次广义标准线性体模型对黏弹性介质Q值特征的拟合程度,在权衡计算精度和三维计算量的基础上,确定了五阶广义标准线性体模型并建立了相应的三维黏弹性波的速度-应力方程,结合CFS-PML边界条件开展了高精度三维黏弹性波正演模拟.通过均匀介质正演模拟,验证算法的正确性,明确了地震波的传播时的吸收衰减特征,对三维盐丘模型进行数值模拟,表明了五阶广义标准线性体可以精确的模拟黏弹性介质地震波吸收衰减特征.     

海底水平层状黏弹介质地震波有限差分正演模拟

地震波在海底地层的传播,有必要考虑到介质对地震波发挥的衰减和频散效应.这些效应通常可以通过品质因子Q来量化.论文讨论了水平层状黏弹介质内平面波的数值模拟,采用了一种计算垂向黏弹性介质里的平面波响应的FDTD有效算法,用来估算存在垂向速度变化模型的平面波传播参数响应值.将视品质因子Q和视速度与实测的数值对比,证实了该算法在黏弹性模拟中的精确性,证明了在10~40 Hz的相关频率范围内,即使是强衰减介质,该算法也能取得良好的计算结果.在此基础上,应用这种算法求解海底水平层状介质模型,得到了海底黏弹介质的一维地震波场响应,取得了理想效果.     

基于分数阶时间导数的黏弹性衰减VTI介质中平面波传播

目前在地震勘探频带范围内通常假设品质因子Q与频率无关,且呈衰减各向同性.事实上,相比较速度各向异性,介质的衰减各向异性同样不可忽视.本文将衰减各向异性和速度各向异性二者与常Q模型相结合,建立了黏弹性衰减VTI介质模型,并基于分数阶时间导数理论,给出了对应的本构关系和波动方程.利用均匀平面波分析和Poynting定理,推导出准压缩波qP、准剪切波qSV和纯剪切波SH的复速度、相速度、能量速度以及品质因子的解析表达式.对模型的正确性进行了数值验证,并分析了qP,qSV和SH波在介质中的传播特性.数值试验结果表明:本模型能够实现理想的恒定Q行为,表现了品质因子和速度的各向异性特征,显示出黏弹性增强将导致能量速度和相速度的频散曲线变化剧烈;速度和衰减各向异性参数与传播角度之间的耦合效应对qP,qSV和SH波的速度和能量影响明显;qP,qSV和SH波的频散曲线和波前面随着衰减各向异性强度的改变发生显著变化,其中耦合在一起的qP和qSV波变化趋势相同,而SH波与它们呈现相反的变化规律.本研究为从常Q模型角度分析地震波在衰减各向异性黏弹性介质中的传播特征奠定了理论基础.     

二维复杂黏弹性各向异性介质中的地震射线追踪

实际地层中传播的地震波普遍存在速度各向异性和能量衰减现象,因此基于弹性介质假设条件下的地震射线正反演算法具有一定的局限性,而研究黏弹性各向异性介质中的地震波传播规律可为揭示地下结构提供更加可靠的理论依据.射线追踪技术是揭示高频地震波传播特性的有效手段之一,然而绝大多数研究仅限于弹性介质.针对黏弹性各向异性介质,本文首先给出了一种射线速度和振幅衰减的计算方法,然后结合改进型最短路径算法,在实空间内实现了计算复杂介质模型中地震波(qP,qSV,qSH)的射线路径和传播走时以及能量衰减(虚走时).该算法适用于复杂黏弹性各向异性介质.误差分析结果显示,实走时的最大相对误差小于0.13％,虚走时的最大相对误差小于0.55％,表明该算法具有较高的计算精度.     

Pseudospectral modeling and dispersion analysis of Rayleigh waves in viscoelastic media

Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) is one of the most widely used techniques in environmental and engineering geophysics to determine shear-wave velocities and dynamic properties, which is based on the elastic layered system theory. Wave propagation in the Earth, however, has been recognized as viscoelastic and the propagation of Rayleigh waves presents substantial differences in viscoelastic media as compared with elastic media. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out numerical simulation and dispersion analysis of Rayleigh waves in viscoelastic media to better understand Rayleigh-wave behaviors in the real world. We apply a pseudospectral method to the calculation of the spatial derivatives using a Chebyshev difference operator in the vertical direction and a Fourier difference operator in the horizontal direction based on the velocity–stress elastodynamic equations and relations of linear viscoelastic solids. This approach stretches the spatial discrete grid to have a minimum grid size near the free surface so that high accuracy and resolution are achieved at the free surface, which allows an effective incorporation of the free surface boundary conditions since the Chebyshev method is nonperiodic. We first use an elastic homogeneous half-space model to demonstrate the accuracy of the pseudospectral method comparing with the analytical solution, and verify the correctness of the numerical modeling results for a viscoelastic half-space comparing the phase velocities of Rayleigh wave between the theoretical values and the dispersive image generated by high-resolution linear Radon transform. We then simulate three types of two-layer models to analyze dispersive-energy characteristics for near-surface applications. Results demonstrate that the phase velocity of Rayleigh waves in viscoelastic media is relatively higher than in elastic media and the fundamental mode increases by 10–16% when the frequency is above 10 Hz due to the velocity dispersion of P and S waves.     

黏弹性介质中瑞利波频散曲线和衰减系数曲线的反演

瑞利波具有能量大、信噪比高等特点,可以用来反演介质内部的力学信息,近年来在浅层地球物理勘探、深层地震学研究以及超声波无损检测等多个领域都有较广泛的应用。目前大多数瑞利波的应用中都假设介质是弹性的,然而实际中岩石、土壤和金属等介质都在一定程度上体现出了黏弹性。当介质的黏弹性较强时仍然采用弹性假设研究其中瑞利波的反演将增大误差,因此有必要考虑黏弹性介质中的瑞利波反演,但是目前这方面的研究仍不够深入。本文研究黏弹性介质中瑞利波频散曲线和衰减系数曲线的反演问题,给出其在半空间中联合反演的方法,并对该方法的误差进行分析。     

A wave propagation model with the Biot and the fractional viscoelastic mechanisms

Energy loss in porous media containing fluids is typically caused by a variety of dynamic mechanisms.In the Biot theory,energy loss only includes the frictional dissipation between the solid phase and the fluid phase,resulting in underestimation of the dispersion and attenuation of the waves in the low frequency range.To develop a dynamic model that can predict the high dispersion and strong attenuation of waves at the seismic band,we introduce viscoelasticity into the Biot model and use fractional derivatives to describe the viscoelastic mechanism,and finally propose a new wave propagation model.Unlike the Biot model,the proposed model includes the intrinsic dissipation of the solid frame.We investigate the effects of the fractional order parameters on the dispersion and attenuation of the P-and S-waves using several numerical experiments.Furthermore,we use several groups of experimental data from different fluid-saturated rocks to testify the validity of the new model.The results demonstrate that the new model provides more accurate predictions of high dispersion and strong attenuation of different waves in the low frequency range.     

Advantages of Using Multichannel Analysis of Love Waves (MALW) to Estimate Near-Surface Shear-Wave Velocity

As theory dictates, for a series of horizontal layers, a pure, plane, horizontally polarized shear (SH) wave refracts and reflects only SH waves and does not undergo wave-type conversion as do incident P or Sv waves. This is one reason the shallow SH-wave refraction method is popular. SH-wave refraction method usually works well defining near-surface shear-wave velocities. Only first arrival information is used in the SH-wave refraction method. Most SH-wave data contain a strong component of Love-wave energy. Love waves are surface waves that are formed from the constructive interference of multiple reflections of SH waves in the shallow subsurface. Unlike Rayleigh waves, the dispersive nature of Love waves is independent of P-wave velocity. Love-wave phase velocities of a layered earth model are a function of frequency and three groups of earth properties: SH-wave velocity, density, and thickness of layers. In theory, a fewer parameters make the inversion of Love waves more stable and reduce the degree of nonuniqueness. Approximating SH-wave velocity using Love-wave inversion for near-surface applications may become more appealing than Rayleigh-wave inversion because it possesses the following three advantages. (1) Numerical modeling results suggest the independence of P-wave velocity makes Love-wave dispersion curves simpler than Rayleigh waves. A complication of “Mode kissing” is an undesired and frequently occurring phenomenon in Rayleigh-wave analysis that causes mode misidentification. This phenomenon is less common in dispersion images of Love-wave energy. (2) Real-world examples demonstrated that dispersion images of Love-wave energy have a higher signal-to-noise ratio and more focus than those generated from Rayleigh waves. This advantage is related to the long geophone spreads commonly used for SH-wave refraction surveys, images of Love-wave energy from longer offsets are much cleaner and sharper than for closer offsets, which makes picking phase velocities of Love waves easier and more accurate. (3) Real-world examples demonstrated that inversion of Love-wave dispersion curves is less dependent on initial models and more stable than Rayleigh waves. This is due to Love-wave’s independence of P-wave velocity, which results in fewer unknowns in the MALW method compared to inversion methods of Rayleigh waves. This characteristic not only makes Love-wave dispersion curves simpler but also reduces the degree of nonuniqueness leading to more stable inversion of Love-wave dispersion curves.     

Study of effects of focal depth on the characteristics of Rayleigh waves using finite difference method

This paper presents a relationship between the focal depth in terms of Rayleigh-wave wavelength and the dominant frequency of Rayleigh waves generated in a homogeneous half-space. Rayleigh waves were simulated using a (2, 4) staggered grid P-SV wave finite difference algorithm with VGR-stress imaging technique as a free surface boundary condition. VGR is an acronym for vertical grid-size reduction. The simulated seismic responses using P-wave and SV-wave sources at different focal depths revealed Rayleigh-wave generation up to certain focal depth only for the considered frequency bandwidth. A shift of normalized spectral shape of Rayleigh wave towards lower frequency with increasing focal depth was inferred. Largest spectral amplitude was obtained in the wavelength for which the ratio of focal depth to the wavelength of Rayleigh wave was around 0.17 in the case of P-wave source and 0.9 in the case of SV-wave source. An exponential decrease of spectral amplitude of Rayleigh wave with the departure of the ratio of focal depth to Rayleigh wave wavelength from the above mentioned values was obtained.     

各向异性衰减薄层地震响应特征研究

薄储层的叠前地震响应特征研究,特别是针对具有速度各向异性的含流体薄层,对储层描述具有十分重要的意义.文中基于波动方程数值模拟方法,正演得到各向同性弹性、各向同性衰减、速度各向异性、各向异性衰减模型的地震波场,并对比分析了四种模型的纵波(PP)和转换横波(PS)地震反射特征.研究结果表明:在衰减介质背景下,引入各向异性,PP和PS波的反射波振幅较弹性介质均减弱,且衰减因素对薄层振幅的影响强于各向异性.同时,VTI各向异性衰减在单频PS振幅曲线上表现出强差异性,而HTI各向异性衰减则会影响PP和PS波单频振幅曲线的极值点幅值和位置,通过分析单频振幅曲线的极值点振幅和极值点位置对各向异性衰减薄层预测有指导作用,尤其对平时较难分辨的VTI各向异性衰减薄层,单频分析方法的优势更明显.
