Seismic forward modeling method based on elastic wave field vector decomposition and low-rank decomposition

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of exploration geophysics and particularly relates to an elastic seismic wave field forward modeling method. The seismic forward modeling method includes the steps of firstly, according to the principle of wave field vector decomposition, decomposing a seismic wave field into a longitudinal wave field and a transverse wave field and respectively calculating corresponding propagation matrixes of the longitudinal wave field and the transverse wave field; secondly, according to the principle of low-rank decomposition, decomposing the propagation matrixes to obtain propagators of vector longitudinal wave and vector transverse wave so as to reduce calculation amount of numerical simulation to improve calculation efficiency; and thirdly, coupling updated records of the vector longitudinal wave and the vector transverse wave acquired after the numerical simulation so as to obtain a forward modeling result of the seismic wave field. The calculation precision is high due to the fact that the propagation matrixes include compensations to medium parameter and numerical simulation parameter. Numerical dispersion of seismic wave field records acquired by the forward modeling method is nearly eliminated and stability of the numerical simulation is high; accordingly, the forward modeling method is a high-precision elastic wave field numerical simulation method.

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of exploration geophysics, and in particular relates to a forward modeling method for elastic seismic wave field. Background technique [0002] The forward modeling method is an important means to study the law of seismic wave propagation in the earth medium, and it is also the theoretical basis for the technical research of seismic wave imaging method and wave equation inversion method. As far as the equations describing the earth's medium are concerned, the most commonly used methods at present mainly include the forward modeling of the acoustic wave equation and the forward modeling of the elastic wave equation. For a long time in the past, the forward modeling method based on the acoustic wave equation has been favored by the industry and academia due to its fast calculation speed and small computer memory requirements, and has played a huge role. But the actual earth medium is an elastic body, and the simple aco...
