A 3-D finite element conjugate gradient model of subsurface flow with automatic mesh generation

The 3-D flow modelling of groundwater systems of realistic size generally requires a big effort for the preparation of the input data as well as large computational costs. A numerical finite element model (MAITHREE) is developed for the efficient analysis of the steady and unsteady behaviour of natural confined 3-D basins. Starting from an initial triangular grid the code automatically generates a set of tetrahedral elements in each of the geologic units or subunits specified by the user in the vertical profile. The original element incidences list is then rearranged in order to provide conforming 3-D elements throughout the domain. The model is designed with a view to saving much of the labour involved in setting a 3-D grid and to providing flexibility as well as economical convenience through a high computational efficiency. The latter task is achieved by the aid of a solver based on the modified conjugate gradient (MCG) method which has proved to be an excellent technique for the solution of large linear finite element sets of sparse 3-D subsurface equations. Some examples derived from both hypothetical and real-world situations are discussed to illustrate the innovative features of MAITHREE and its computational performance.     

Hydrostratigraphic modeling of a complex,glacial-drift aquifer system for importation into MODFLOW

Deposition from at least three episodes of glaciation left a complex glacial-drift aquifer system in central Illinois. The deepest and largest of these aquifers, the Sankoty-Mahomet Aquifer, occupies the lower part of a buried bedrock valley and supplies water to communities throughout central Illinois. Thin, discontinuous aquifers are present within glacial drift overlying the Sankoty-Mahomet Aquifer. This study was commissioned by local governments to identify possible areas where a regional water supply could be obtained from the aquifer with minimal adverse impacts on existing users. Geologic information from more than 2,200 existing water well logs was supplemented with new data from 28 test borings, water level measurements in 430 wells, and 35 km of surface geophysical profiles. A three-dimensional (3-D) hydrostratigraphic model was developed using a contouring software package, a geographic information system (GIS), and the 3-D geologic modeling package, EarthVision. The hydrostratigraphy of the glacial-drift sequence was depicted as seven uneven and discontinuous layers, which could be viewed from an infinite number of horizontal and vertical slices and as solid models of any layer. Several iterations were required before the 3-D model presented a reasonable depiction of the aquifer system. Layers from the resultant hydrostratigraphic model were imported into MODFLOW, where they were modified into continuous layers. This approach of developing a 3-D hydrostratigraphic model can be applied to other areas where complex aquifer systems are to be modeled and is also useful in helping lay audiences visualize aquifer systems.     

Grid resolution study of ground water flow and transport

Three-dimensional grids representing a heterogeneous, ground water system are generated at 10 different resolutions in support of a site-scale flow and transport modeling effort. These grids represent hydrostratigraphy near Yucca Mountain, Nevada, consisting of 18 stratigraphic units with contrasting fluid flow and transport properties. The grid generation method allows the stratigraphy to be modeled by numerical grids of different resolution so that comparison studies can be performed to test for grid quality and determine the resolution required to resolve geologic structure and physical processes such as fluid flow and solute transport. The process of generating numerical grids with appropriate property distributions from geologic conceptual models is automated, thus making the entire process easy to implement with fewer user-induced errors. The series of grids of various resolutions are used to assess the level at which increasing resolution no longer influences the flow and solute transport results. Grid resolution is found to be a critical issue for ground water flow and solute transport. The resolution required in a particular instance is a function of the feature size of the model, the intrinsic properties of materials, the specific physics of the problem, and boundary conditions. The asymptotic nature of results related to flow and transport indicate that for a hydrologic model of the heterogeneous hydrostratigraphy under Yucca Mountain, a horizontal grid spacing of 600 m and vertical grid spacing of 40 m resolve the hydrostratigraphic model with sufficient precision to accurately model the hypothetical flow and solute transport to within 5% of the value that would be obtained with much higher resolution.     

基于紧凑存储的任意四边形网格有限元法地震波场数值模拟

采用有限元法精确模拟复杂介质条件下的地震波场,一般采用三角单元,但在节点数相同的情况下,三角单元的计算精度不如矩形单元高,采用三角单元模拟复杂界面时,编制确定结构刚度矩阵非零元素位置的程序也较为麻烦。采用矩形单元离散含有倾斜或起伏界面的地质模型时,无法避免绕射噪声,若加密网格又会增加计算量。为此,本文基于任意四边形单元模拟声波的传播,在倾斜或起伏界面条件下,可以有效避免因离散引起的“阶梯状”界面,在不增加计算量以及内存占用的前提下,有效地消除离散绕射噪声。采用对角的集中质量矩阵代替一致质量矩阵,避免矩阵的求逆运算,从而提高显式有限元法的计算效率;对结构刚度矩阵采用紧凑存储格式,每一行需要存储的元素最多为5个,同时零元素不参与运算,既减少内存的占用,又极大地提高计算效率。      

Unstructured grid based 2-D inversion of VLF data for models including topography

We present a 2-D inversion code incorporating a damped least-squares and a minimum-model approach for plane wave electromagnetic (EM) methods using an adaptive unstructured grid finite element forward operator. Unstructured triangular grids permit efficient discretization of arbitrary 2-D model geometries and, hence, allow for modeling arbitrary topography. The inversion model is parameterized on a coarse parameter grid which constitutes a subset of the forward modeling grid. The mapping from parameter to forward modeling grid is obtained by adaptive mesh refinement. Sensitivities are determined by solving a modified sensitivity equation system arising from the derivative of the finite element equations with respect to the model parameters. Firstly, we demonstrate that surface topography may induce significant effects on the EM response and in the inversion result, and that it cannot be ignored when the scale length of topographic variations is in the order of magnitude of the skin depth. Secondly, the dependency of the inversion on the starting model is discussed for VLF and VLF-R data. Thirdly, we demonstrate the inversion of a synthetic data set obtained from a model with topography. Finally, the inversion approach is applied to field data collected in a region with undulating topography.     

空间分辨率和空间差分精度对水平网格性能的影响

为了说明在物理空间中空间差分精度和空间分辨率对Arakawa A-D网格性能的影响程度,将线性浅水方程组采用二阶中央差和四阶中央差格距分别取100 km、10 km和1 km在Arakawa A-D网格上进行离散和120 min的模拟预报,模拟结果和解析解进行比较,结果表明：当网格距是1 km时,不论采用二阶中央差分方案还是四阶中央差分方案,重力惯性波在4种网格上模拟的结果相同,即变量配置的影响是可以忽略的;当网格距增加到10 km或100 km时,不同的变量配置模拟的结果是不同的.但是,不论对二阶中央差还是四阶中央差,当网格距相同的情况下,在C网格上模拟得到的结果均方根误差最小,在D网格上模拟得到的结果均方根误差最大.同时也表明：当差分精度从二阶增加到四阶后,模拟结果的误差并非一致减少,并和群速相对误差的变化一致,因此对于初值为混合波的多变量方程组而言,增加差分精度不能改进模拟的结果.并且缩小网格距比增加差分精度对减少在Arakawa A-D 网格上离散产生的误差更明显.

THREE-DIMENSIONAL KINEMATIC MIGRATION IN VARIABLE VELOCITY MEDIA*

A three-dimensional (3-D) kinematic migration algorithm for media in which migration velocity varies linearly with depth is developed, implemented and tested. The algorithm is based on the concept that a single reflection or diffraction in a (zero- or finite-offset) trace may have originated at any point on a constant traveltime surface within the Earth defined by the observed two-way traveltime. The envelope of all such constant time surfaces, for all observed reflections and diffractions produced by one reflector, is the desired migrated 3-D image. The optimal envelope position in depth is determined, beneath each point on a regular grid, by a statistical imaging condition; an incremental function of depth containing the number of constant time surfaces passing through that depth increment is cross-correlated with a Gaussian function whose width is chosen to correspond to the vertical scale of the features of interest. The numerical procedures are based on the observation that, in a medium in which velocity varies linearly with depth, ray segments are circular so traveltimes can be computed analytically. Also, traveltimes are independent of azimuth so the 3-D problem can be collapsed into an equivalent 2-D problem. The algorithm is illustrated and tested by application to synthetic data and to scale-model data from the Seismic Acoustics Laboratory at the University of Houston.     

无网格局部Petrov-Galerkin法大地电磁场二维正演模拟

有限差分法和有限单元法在大地电磁场数值模拟中已经得到了广泛的应用,但其数值结果的精度在很大程度上依赖于网格的离散程度.当模拟起伏地形、弯曲界面等复杂地电模型大地电磁场响应时,常常需要花费大量的时间以便得到较合理的离散网格.无网格局部Petrov-Galerkin法(MLPG)不同于有限差分法和有限元法,其形函数和权函数脱离了网格的束缚.本文详细推导了二维大地电磁场边值问题的弱式形式,并将其离散为局部积分域内的表达形式.通过模拟二维海洋地电模型大地电磁场响应,并与结构网格有限元结果进行对比,验证了本文算法和程序的正确性及精度.设计了一个含有弯曲界面的二维地电模型,讨论了不同离散网格对MLPG无网格法模拟结果的影响,并与结构有限元法结果进行了比较,结果表明MLPG无网格法模拟结果受离散网格影响较小.最后利用MLPG无网格法计算了两个海洋起伏地形模型的大地电磁响应,讨论了海底起伏地形对大地电磁响应的影响.     

Topographic accuracy assessment of bare earth lidar-derived unstructured meshes

This study is focused on the integration of bare earth lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) data into unstructured (triangular) finite element meshes and the implications on simulating storm surge inundation using a shallow water equations model. A methodology is developed to compute root mean square error (RMSE) and the 95th percentile of vertical elevation errors using four different interpolation methods (linear, inverse distance weighted, natural neighbor, and cell averaging) to resample bare earth lidar and lidar-derived digital elevation models (DEMs) onto unstructured meshes at different resolutions. The results are consolidated into a table of optimal interpolation methods that minimize the vertical elevation error of an unstructured mesh for a given mesh node density. The cell area averaging method performed most accurate when DEM grid cells within 0.25 times the ratio of local element size and DEM cell size were averaged. The methodology is applied to simulate inundation extent and maximum water levels in southern Mississippi due to Hurricane Katrina, which illustrates that local changes in topography such as adjusting element size and interpolation method drastically alter simulated storm surge locally and non-locally. The methods and results presented have utility and implications to any modeling application that uses bare earth lidar.

有限元算法在声波方程数值模拟中的频散分析

Modelling two‐dimensional steady‐state groundwater flow and flow sensitivity to boundary conditions in blanket peat complexes

This study used a two‐dimensional steady‐state finite‐element groundwater flow model to simulate groundwater flow in two Newfoundland blanket peat complexes and to examine flow system sensitivity to changes in water table recharge and aquifer properties. The modelling results were examined within the context of peat‐forming processes in the two complexes. Modelled flow compared favourably with observed flow. The sensitivity analyses suggested that more highly decomposed bog peat along bog margins probably has/had a positive impact on net peat accumulation within bog interiors. Peat with lower hydraulic conductivity along bog margins effectively impedes lateral drainage, localizes water table drawdown to extreme bog margins, and elevates water tables along bog interiors. Peat formation and elevated water tables in adjacent poor fens/laggs currently rely on placic and ortstein horizons impeding vertical drainage and water flow inputs from adjacent bogs. Modest reductions in atmospheric recharge were found to govern bog‐flow‐system geometries in a way that would adversely affect paludification processes in adjacent fens/laggs.

ITERATIVE TOMOGRAPHIC METHODS TO LOCATE SEISMIC LOW-VELOCITY ANOMALIES: A MODEL STUDY1

The possibilities for reconstructing seismic velocity distributions containing low-velocity anomalies by iterative tomographic methods are examined studying numerical and analogue 2D model data. The geometrical conditions of the model series were designed to generalize the geometrical characteristics of a typical cross-hole tomographic field case. Models with high (30%) and low (8%) velocity contrasts were realized. Traveltimes of 2D ultrasonic P-waves, determined for a dense net of raypaths across each model, form the analogue data set. The numerical data consists of traveltimes calculated along straight raypaths. Additionally, a set of curved-ray traveltimes was calculated for a smoothed version of the high-contrast model. The Simultaneous Iterative Reconstruction Technique (SIRT) was chosen from the various tomographic inversion methods. The abilities of this standard procedure are studied using the low-contrast model data. The investigations concentrate on the resolving power concerning geometry and velocity, and on the effects caused by erroneous data due to noise or a finite time precision. The grid spacing and the source and receiver patterns are modified. Smoothing and slowness constraints were tested. The inversion of high-contrast analogue model data shows that curved raypaths have to be considered. Hence, a ray-tracing algorithm using velocity gradients was developed, based on the grid structure of the tomographic inversion. This algorithm is included in the SIRT-process and the improvements concerning anomaly localization, resolution and velocity reconstruction are demonstrated. Since curved-ray tomography is time-consuming compared with straight-ray SIRT, it is necessary to consider the effects of grid spacing, ray density, slowness constraints and the

Propagation of Kelvin waves along irregular coastlines in finite-difference models

In this paper, we examine the behavior of internal Kelvin waves on an f-plane in finite-difference models using the Arakawa C-grid. The dependence of Kelvin wave phase speed on offshore grid resolution and propagation direction relative to the numerical grid is illustrated by numerical experiments for three different geometries: (1) Kelvin wave propagating along a straight coastline; (2) Kelvin wave propagating at a 45° angle to the numerical grid along a stairstep coastline with stairstep size equal to the grid spacing; (3) Kelvin wave propagating at a 45° angle to the numerical grid along a coarse resolution stairstep coastline with stairstep size greater than the grid spacing. It can be shown theoretically that the phase speed of a Kelvin wave propagating along a straight coastline on an Arakawa C-grid is equal to the analytical inviscid wave speed and is not dependent on offshore grid resolution. However, we found that finite-difference models considerably underestimate the Kelvin wave phase speed when the wave is propagating at an angle to the grid and the grid spacing is comparable with the Rossby deformation radius. In this case, the phase speed converges toward the correct value only as grid spacing decreases well below the Rossby radius. A grid spacing of one-fifth the Rossby radius was required to produce results for the stairstep boundary case comparable with the straight coast case. This effect does not appear to depend on the resolution of the coastline, but rather on the direction of wave propagation relative to the grid. This behavior is important for modeling internal Kelvin waves in realistic geometries where the Rossby radius is often comparable with the grid spacing, and the waves propagate along irregular coastlines.©1998 Published by Elsevier Science Limited.

Cyclic hysteretic flow in porous medium column: model, experiment, and simulations

A periodic vertical movement of the groundwater table results in a subsequent cyclic response of the water content and pressure profiles in the vadose zone. The sequence of periodic wetting and drying processes can be affected by hysteresis effects in this zone. A one-dimensional saturated/unsaturated flow model based on Richards’ equation and the Mualem (Soil Sci. 137 (1984) 283) hysteresis model is formulated which can take into account multi-cycle hysteresis effects in the relation between capillary pressure and water content. The numerical integration of the unsaturated flow equation is based on a Galerkin-type finite element method. The flow domain is discretised by finite elements with linear shape functions. Simulations start with static water content and pressure profiles, which correspond to either a boundary drying or wetting retention curve. To facilitate the numerical solution of the hysteretic case an implicit non-iterative procedure was chosen for the solution of the nonlinear differential equation. Laboratory experiments were performed with a vertical sand column by imposing a high frequency periodic pressure head at the lower end of the column. The total water volume in the column, and the periodic water content profile averaged over time were measured. The boundary drying and wetting curves of the relation between water content and capillary pressure were determined by independent experiments. The simulations of the experimental conditions show a clear effect of the hysteresis phenomenon on the water content profile. The simulations with hysteresis agree well with the measurements. Computed dimensionless water content profiles are presented for different oscillation frequencies with and without consideration of hysteresis.
