二阶声波方程频域PML边界条件及频域变网格步长并行计算

研究了二阶声波方程频域PML边界条件和频域变网格并行计算技术。PML边界是一种较为理想的吸收边界方法,多用在求解时域应力速度方程中,但对于频域声波正演,二阶位移方程更常用。从一阶声波方程PML吸收边界条件导出频域二阶位移方程PML边界条件,模拟算例得到的频率切片、时间切片和地震记录对比都说明该边界条件吸收效果很好。频域单炮正演不同频率间是独立的,据此低频部分采用大网格计算,高频采用小网格,实现变网格步长计算技术,这是较时间域正演的一个优势,在保证模拟质量的同时,减少计算量和内存消耗。     

含底坡项浅水方程的一种数值求解方法

激波捕捉格式能处理含强间断的浅水方程,因为必须采用关于守恒变量的守恒形式方程,作为水流实际驱动力的水位梯度项被分解为压力梯度项和底坡项,如果离散格式不能很好地平衡这两项的作用,将导致不准确的结果。基于理论推导,提出了一种新方法,在单元内部采用非守恒形式,保留水位梯度项,在界面处采用守恒格式捕捉间断。利用4个具有代表性的算例对提出的方法进行了验证,结果表明,该方法能够处理变化地形上的强间断和流态变化,并能够准确捕捉扰动的传播过程。     

分析隔水边界附近抽水-恢复试验数据的新方法

为能同时分析含水层具有直线隔水边界条件下,抽水试验中抽水―恢复阶段降深数据,提出了一种新的数据分析方法。在建立这种方法时,将表示抽水和恢复阶段水头降深表达式中Theis井函数的级数表达式的前3项作为其近似表达式,经过推导,分别得到抽水和恢复2个阶段的直线方程。2个直线方程的因变量和自变量均为观测数据的函数,而直线常数为待求参数的函数,在进行数据分析时,只要将试验观测数据分别转化为直线方程的因变量和自变量数据,就能够利用一元线性回归法分别计算2个直线方程的常数,而利用直线常数的表达式,能够推导得到计算含水层参数和映射井到观测孔间距离的公式。通过算例说明了方法的具体应用步骤。     

基于内变量和张量函数表示定理的本构方程

针对各向同性材料,基于张量函数表示定理,建立了本构关系的张量不变性表示,其中,3个不可约基张量取决于应力的0～2次幂,且相互正交,3个系数由塑性应变增量和应力的不变量表示。基于塑性应变增量的不变量定义内变量,本构关系归结为确定内变量的演化。使用张量函数表示定理,给出了内变量演化方程的一般表达式,它取决于应力不变量的增量,因而与主轴旋转无关。讨论了如何根据试验资料和引入适当的假定,确定具体的演化方程。通过与塑性势理论和多重屈服面理论进行比较,表明所建模型是这些理论的最一般表示,且简捷直观、使用方便。     

曲线坐标系下的完全匹配层吸收边界条件

在地震波数值模拟中,需要采用吸收边界条件以吸收人为边界反射。本文针对曲线坐标系下的二阶弹性波方程提出了一种完全匹配层(PML)吸收边界条件。与直角坐标系下的PML吸收边界条件类似,曲线坐标系下的PML吸收边界条件是一种在频率域中给出的人工边界条件,由相应的复坐标变换得到。在变换到时间域后,完全匹配层中将出现复杂的卷积运算。为了避免这些卷积运算,引入了4个中间变量。为了简化自由边界条件,采用正交贴体网格对起伏地表模型进行网格剖分。数值算例表明,该方法可以有效消除人为边界反射。

Microscopic interpretation of one-dimensional compressibility of granular materials

The one-dimensional compressibility of granular materials is investigated analytically in the framework of micromechanics and simulated using the discrete element method. The results show that the oedometric modulus can be expressed in terms of the material properties of particles and fabric-related variables. By relating the coordination number to different quantities, two forms of the compression curve equations are discussed.     

辅助微分方程完全匹配层在声波方程数值模拟中的应用

在地震波数值模拟中,为提高算法精度,需要使用高阶时间更新格式,而普通的非分裂完全匹配层（PML）吸收边界局限于低阶时间格式。辅助微分方程完全匹配层（ADE PML）是一种可以适应任意阶时间格式的非分裂完全匹配层技术,且可以直接应用复频移拉伸算子以提高PML在高角度入射时的效果。作者将ADE PML应用于声波方程四阶Runge Kutta时间格式的数值模拟中,对其吸收效能进行了检验。数值模拟表明,复频移ADE PML在高角度入射时表现优于非复频移ADE PML。另外,不同辅助变量更新格式的吸收效果存在微小差异,显格式下计算结果与解析解吻合较好。长时间能量衰减计算表明ADE PML可以稳定至2 × 10⁵时间步。     

Fundamental solutions for a fluid‐saturated,transversely isotropic,poroelastic solid

The fundamental solutions were obtained for step‐like point forces acting in three orthogonal directions and an instantaneous fluid point source in a fluid‐saturated, porous, infinite solid of transversely isotropic elasticity and permeability. After expressing the governing equations in the form of matrix in the Laplace space, we employed Kupradze's method together with the triple Fourier transforms. This method reduces the simultaneous partial differential equations with respect to three displacement components and a pore fluid pressure to a differential equation in terms of only one potential scalar function, which can be operationally solved in the transformed space. After the Laplace inversion of the potential, the residue theorem was applied to its Fourier inverse transform with respect to one of the transformation variables. The Fourier transforms with respect to two other variables were rewritten into the Hankel transforms. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A unified formulation for generalized oilfield development optimization

Oilfield development involves several key decisions, including the number, type (injection/production), location, drilling schedule, and operating control trajectories of the wells. Without considering the coupling between these decision variables, any optimization problem formulation is bound to find suboptimal solutions. This paper presents a unified formulation for oilfield development optimization that seeks to simultaneously optimize these decision variables. We show that the source/sink term of the governing multiphase flow equations includes all the above decision variables. This insight leads to a novel and unified formulation of the field development optimization problem that considers the source/sink term in reservoir simulation equations as optimization decision variables. Therefore, a single optimization problem is formulated to simultaneously search for optimal decision variables by determining the complete dynamic form of the source/sink terms. The optimization objective function is the project net present value (NPV), which involves discounted revenue from oil production, operating costs (e.g. water injection and recycling), and capital costs (e.g., cost of drilling wells). A major difficulty after formulating the generalized field development optimization problem is finding an efficient solution approach. Since the total number of cells in a reservoir model far exceeds the number of cells that are intersected by wells, the source/sink terms tend to be sparse. In fact, the drilling cost in the NPV objective function serves as a sparsity-promoting penalty to minimize the number of wells while maximizing the NPV. Inspired by this insight, we solve the optimization problem using an efficient gradient-based method based on recent algorithmic developments in sparse reconstruction literature. The gradients of the NPV function with respect to the source/sink terms is readily computed using well-established adjoint methods. Numerical experiments are presented to evaluate the feasibility and performance of the generalized field development formulation for simultaneous optimization of the number, location, type, controls, and drilling schedule of the wells.     

Construction of three-phase data to model multiphase flow in porous media: Comparing an optimization approach to the finite element approach

Multiphase flow modelling is a major issue in the assessment of groundwater pollution. Three-phase flows are commonly governed by mathematical models that associate a pressure equation with two saturation equations. These equations involve a number of secondary variables that reflect the fluid behaviour in a porous medium. To improve the computational efficiency of multiphase flow simulators, several simplified reformulations of three-phase flow equations have been proposed. However, they require the construction of new secondary variables adapted to the reformulated flow equations. In this article, two different approaches are compared to quantify these variables. A numerical example is given for a typical fine sand.     

Exact solutions for one‐dimensional consolidation of single‐layer unsaturated soil

Based on the Fredlund consolidation theory of unsaturated soil, exact solutions of the governing equations for one‐dimensional consolidation of single‐layer unsaturated soil are presented, in which the water permeability and air transmission are assumed to be constants. The general solution of two coupled homogeneous governing equations is first obtained. This general solution is expressed in terms of two functions psi₁ and ψ₂, where ψ₁ and ψ₂, respectively, satisfy two second‐order partial differential equations, which are in the same form. Using the method of separation of variables, the two partial differential equations are solved and exact solutions for three typical homogeneous boundary conditions are obtained. To obtain exact solutions of nonhomogeneous governing equations with three typical nonhomogeneous boundary conditions, the nonhomogeneous boundary conditions are first transformed into homogeneous boundary conditions. Then according to the method of undetermined coefficients and exact solutions of homogenous governing equations, the series form exact solutions are put forward. The validity of the proposed exact solutions is verified against other analytical solutions in the literature. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Mixed unsplit-field perfectly matched layers for transient simulations of scalar waves in heterogeneous domains

We discuss a new formulation for transient scalar wave simulations in heterogeneous semi-infinite domains. To deal with the semi-infinite extent of the physical domains, we introduce truncation boundaries and adopt perfectly matched layers (PMLs) as the boundary wave absorbers. Within this framework, we develop a new mixed displacement-stress (or stress memory) finite element formulation based on unsplit-field PMLs. We use, as typically done, complex-coordinate stretching transformations in the frequency domain, and recover the governing partial differential equations in the time-domain through the inverse Fourier transform. Upon spatial discretization, the resulting equations lead to a mixed semi-discrete form, where both displacements and stresses (or stress histories/memories) are treated as independent unknowns. We propose approximant pairs, which, numerically, are shown to be stable. The resulting mixed finite element scheme is relatively simple and straightforward to implement, when compared against split-field PML techniques. It also bypasses the need for complicated time integration schemes that arise when recent displacement-based formulations are used. We report numerical results for 1D and 2D scalar wave propagation in semi-infinite domains truncated by PMLs. We also conduct parametric studies and report on the effect the various PML parameter choices have on the simulation error.     

Contributions of climate,vegetation and soil to the alpine sediment carbon accumulation rate in central China since the Middle Holocene

Large amounts of carbon in alpine sediments have been expected to be sensitive to climate change, but how carbon accumulation responds to climate change remains unclear. Thus, we explored the impact of different factors on the carbon accumulation rate (CAR) of alpine sediments by combining a variety of climatic variables, vegetation data and erosion indicators based on two alpine sediment successions on Taibai Mountain, the highest peak in central and eastern mainland China. One succession is near the modern treeline (Paomaliang Swamp, PML) and the other is located at the upper forest line (Sanqing Chi, SQC, a small lake). We used our previously published organic carbon content data and for the first time calculated the CAR, and further used pollen and physicochemical indicators to quantify the contributions from climate, vegetation and soil. We found that their contributions varied during different periods and between the two sediment successions. For the PML succession, from 5850 to 4000 calendar years before present (cal. a BP), the CAR was low, which was related to low annual temperatures, low vegetation cover and strong soil erosion. From 4000 to 2400 cal. a BP, a high CAR coincided with high annual temperatures, high vegetation cover and weak soil erosion. From 2400 to 200 cal. a BP, the CAR decreased, mainly attributed to low vegetation cover. Local vegetation cover had major impacts on the CAR in the SQC succession during the Middle–Late Holocene. In general, the local factor interpretation rate in SQC (83%) was higher than that of PML (47%), related to the vegetation stability of continuous forest and the treeline. This study highlights the important role of the local environment in determining carbon accumulation in the alpine region.
