Global SH-wave propagation in a 2D whole Moon model using the parallel hybrid PSM/FDM method

We present numerical modeling of SH-wave propagation for the recently proposed whole Moon model and try to improve our understanding of lunar seismic wave propagation. We use a hybrid PSM/FDM method on staggered grids to solve the wave equations and implement the calculation on a parallel PC cluster to improve the computing efficiency. Features of global SH-wave propagation are firstly discussed for a 100-km shallow and 900-km deep moonquakes, respectively. Effects of frequency range and lateral variation of crust thickness are then investigated with various models. Our synthetic waveforms are finally compared with observed Apollo data to show the features of wave propagation that were produced by our model and those not reproduced by our models. Our numerical modeling show that the low-velocity upper crust plays significant role in the development of reverberating wave trains. Increasing frequency enhances the strength and duration of the reverberations. Surface multiples dominate wavefields for shallow event. Core–mantle reflections can be clearly identified for deep event at low frequency. The layered whole Moon model and the low-velocity upper crust produce the reverberating wave trains following each phases consistent with observation. However, more realistic Moon model should be considered in order to explain the strong and slow decay scattering between various phases shown on observation data.

Numerical Modeling of Transient Seismic Fields in Viscoelastic Media Based on the Laguerre Spectral Method

--The wave propagation in real media can be described within the theory of linear viscoelasticity. The presence of convolutional integral in Boltzmann's superposition principle poses the main difficulties in implementing the direct numerical methods in time domain. The paper presents a new algorithm, based on the application of the spectral Laguerre method for the approximation of temporal derivatives and convolution as applied to the problem of seismic wave propagation in the heterogeneous viscoelastic medium. Examples of the calculation of synthetic seismograms for different models of viscoelastic media are presented.     

Spectral element analysis on the characteristics of seismic wave propagation triggered by Wenchuan <Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis><Subscript>s</Subscript>8.0 earthquake

The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake occurred in an active earthquake zone, i.e., Longmenshan tectonic zone. Seismic waves triggered by this earthquake can be used to explore the characteristics of the fault rupture process and the hierarchical structure of the Earth’s interior. We employ spectral element method incorporated with large-scale parallel computing technology, to investigate the characteristics of seismic wave propagation excited by Wenchuan earthquake. We calculate synthetic seismograms with one-point source model and three-point source model respectively. The AK135 model is employed as a prototype of our numerical global Earth model. The Earth’s ellipticity, Earth’s medium attenuation, and topography data are taken into consideration. These wave propagation processes are simulated by solving three-dimensional elastic wave governing equations. Three-dimensional visualization of our numerical results displays the profile of the seismic wave propagation. The three-point source, which is proposed from the latest investigations through field observation and reverse estimation, can better demonstrate the spatial and temporal characteristics of the source rupture process than the one-point source. We take comparison of synthetic seismograms with observational data recorded at 16 observatory stations. Primary results show that the synthetic seismograms calculated from three-point source agree well with the observations. This can further reveal that the source rupture process of Wenchuan earthquake is a multi-rupture process, which is composed by at least three or more stages of rupture processes.

Spectral-element simulations of elastic wave propagation in exploration and geotechnical applications

We apply the spectral-element method (SEM), a high-order finite-element method (FEM) to simulate seismic wave propagation in complex media for exploration and geotechnical problems. The SEM accurately treats geometrical complexities through its flexible FEM mesh and accurately interpolates wavefields through high-order Lagrange polynomials. It has been a numerical solver used extensively in earthquake seismology. We demonstrate the applicability of SEM for selected 2D exploration and geotechnical velocity models with an open-source SEM software package SPECFEM2D. The first scenario involves a marine survey for a salt dome with the presence of major internal discontinuities, and the second example simulates seismic wave propagation for an open-pit mine with complex surface topography. Wavefield snapshots, synthetic seismograms, and peak particle velocity maps are presented to illustrate the promising use of SEM for industrial problems.     

Seismic wavefield modeling based on time-domain symplectic and Fourier finite-difference method

Seismic wavefield modeling is important for improving seismic data processing and interpretation. Calculations of wavefield propagation are sometimes not stable when forward modeling of seismic wave uses large time steps for long times. Based on the Hamiltonian expression of the acoustic wave equation, we propose a structure-preserving method for seismic wavefield modeling by applying the symplectic finite-difference method on time grids and the Fourier finite-difference method on space grids to solve the acoustic wave equation. The proposed method is called the symplectic Fourier finite-difference (symplectic FFD) method, and offers high computational accuracy and improves the computational stability. Using acoustic approximation, we extend the method to anisotropic media. We discuss the calculations in the symplectic FFD method for seismic wavefield modeling of isotropic and anisotropic media, and use the BP salt model and BP TTI model to test the proposed method. The numerical examples suggest that the proposed method can be used in seismic modeling of strongly variable velocities, offering high computational accuracy and low numerical dispersion. The symplectic FFD method overcomes the residual qSV wave of seismic modeling in anisotropic media and maintains the stability of the wavefield propagation for large time steps.

Interactions between topographic irregularities and seismic ground motion investigated using a hybrid FD-FE method

A hybrid method combining finite element and 4th-order finite difference techniques is developed to model SH and P-SV seismic wave propagation in a 2D elastic medium with irregular surface topography. Both the classic staggered grid finite difference scheme and the partially staggered grid scheme are tested. The accuracy of the hybrid method is studied by comparison with a semi-analytical and another numerical method. Subsequently, to study the amplification, numerical simulations of seismic wave propagation in a series of hills are carried out and compared with the single-hill case. Depending on the position of the source in relation to the topography, the ratio between the heights and lengths of the hills or the ratio between the lengths of the hills and the wavelength, the presence of several hills as opposed to a single one can increase the amplification effect due to topography. This study highlights the fact that, when evaluating topographic site effects, surrounding topography must be taken into account in addition to local topography.     

基于精细积分法的三维弹性波数值模拟(英文)

波动方程有限差分法是地震数值模拟中的一种重要的方法,对理解和分析地震传播规律、分析地震属性和解释地震资料有着非常重要的意义。但是有限差分法由于其离散化的思想,产生了不稳定性。精细积分法在有限差分法的基础上,在时间域采用解析解的表达形式,在空间域保留任意差分格式,发展成为半解析的数值方法。本文结合并发展了以往学者的成果,推导了任意精细积分法的三维弹性波正演模拟计算公式,并对其稳定性进行了数值分析。在计算实例中,实现了精细积分法二维和三维弹性波模型的地震正演模拟,对计算结果的分析表明,精细积分法反射信号走时准确,稳定性好,弹性波场相较于声波波场,弹性波波场成分更为丰富,包含了更多波型成分(PP-和PS-反射波、透射波和绕射波),这对实际地震资料的解释和储层分析有重要的意义。实践证明,该方法可直接应用到弹性波的地质模型的数值模拟中。

Seismic wavefield modelling in two-phase media including undulating topography with the modified Biot/squirt model by a curvilinear-grid finite difference method

In this paper, we deduced the corresponding first-order velocity–stress equation for curvilinear coordinates from the first-order velocity–stress equation based on the modified Biot/squirt model for a two-dimensional two-phase medium. The equations are then numerically solved by an optimized high-order non-staggered finite difference scheme, that is, the dispersion relation preserving/optimization MacCormack scheme. To implement undulating free-surface topography, we derive an analytical relationship between the derivatives of the particle velocity components and use the compact finite-difference scheme plus a traction-image method. In the undulating free surface and the undulating subsurface interface of two-phase medium, the complex reflected wave and transmitted wave can be clearly recognized in the numerical simulation results. The simulation results show that the curvilinear-grid finite-difference method, which uses a body-conforming grid to describe the undulating surface, can accurately reduce the numerical scattering effect of seismic wave propagation caused by the use of ladder-shaped grid to fit the surfaces when undulating topography is present in a two-phase isotropic medium.

3-D acoustic modeling by a Hartley method

Numerical methods using the Hartley transform are described for the simulation of 3-D wave phenomena with application to the modeling of seismic data. Four topics are covered. The first deals with the solution of the 3-D acoustic wave equation. The second handles the solution of the 3-D two way nonreflecting wave equation. The third involves modeling with an areal source. The fourth treats wave phenomena whose direction of propagation is restricted within ± 90° from a given axis.The numerical methods developed here are similar to the Fourier methods. Time stepping is performed with a second-order differencing operator. The difference is that expressions including space derivative terms are computed by the Hartley transforms rather than the Fourier transforms. Being a real-valued function and equivalent to the Fourier transform, the Hartley transform avoids computational redundancies in terms of the number of operations and memory requirements and thus is more efficient and economical than the Fourier transform. These features are crucial when dealing with 3-D seismic data. The numerical results agree with the analytical results. The use of areal source in modeling can efficiently provide data for testing some schemes that deal with the areal shot-records. Using the transform methods, we can impose constraints on the direction of the wave propagation most precisely in the wavenumber domain when attempting to restrict propagation to upward moving waves. The implementation of the methods is demonstrated on numerical examples.
