TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of forward technology of geophysical electromagnetic exploration method, and particularly relates to a self-adaptive finite element method for three-dimensional electromagnetic potential forward modeling. BACKGROUND
[0002] Developing a numerical forward modeling method that can accurately calculate the induced electromagnetic (EM) field and understand the propagation of the EM field on the ground is necessary for the inversion and interpretation of three-dimensional geophysical EM data. In order to solve the traditional EM Helmholtz equation, the vector finite element (FE) method is applied to solve the electric diffusion equation (Borner et al., 2008; Liu et al., 2008; Farquharson and Miensopust 2011; Ren et al. 2013) and the magnetic field (Franke et al. 2007) diffusion equation (varisuha, 2018). In order to obtain a high-precision numerical solution with as little computational cost as possible, the adaptive finite element forward modeling technology has been rapidly developed. However, when solving the frequency domain geophysical EM forward problem with finite elements, the solving efficiency of the finite element system is still limited by the non-uniqueness of the solution.
[0003] The divergence correction based on the non-dispersive magnetic flux or current density can reduce the non-uniqueness of the solution and accelerate the convergence of the finite element numerical solution. This divergence correction technique is very effective in improving the finite element numerical solution efficiency of passive and active electromagnetic systems (Mackie et al., 1994; Smith, 1996; Druskin et al., 1999 and LaBrecque, 1999). For the electric field diffusion equation, this divergence correction based on the current conservation in the region uses the electric scalar potential as the divergence correction term, and uses the electric scalar potential gradient to correct the numerical solution of the electric field diffusion equation. According to the role of the electric scalar potential term in the process of finite element numerical solution, the divergence correction can be divided into explicit and implicit types.
[0004] The explicit divergence correction scheme is inserted into the iterative solution process to correct the numerical solution (Schwarzbach et al. 2010). The correction interval determines the effect of improving the solution of the problem, which needs to be preset in the specific case of the electromagnetic system and there is no fixed standard (Liu and Yin, 2013; Zhou et al. 2021). The implicit divergence correction scheme is to establish a vector-scalar potential system with Coulomb gauge (Biro and Preis, 1989; Haber, 2000, 2001; Badea, 2001; Everett et al. 2001), which means that no additional divergence correction is needed. The electric scalar potential is still a correction term in the divergence correction process. The applied Coulomb gauge ensures that the electromagnetic potential does not contain divergent spurious modes, and further limits the non-uniqueness of the vector potential (Badea, 2001; Ansari, 2014).
[0005] In order to further enhance the integrity of the A-φ system (control equation) to improve the solving efficiency of the control equation, and solve the problem that the current divergence constraint for calculating the "posterior error" (the posterior error is used to determine the unit that needs to be refined, and finally optimize the grid) is lacking in the current "electromagnetic potential control equation", we develop a goal-oriented adaptive finite element scheme for the Coulomb gauge A-φ system. SUMMARY

[0040] The current divergence term is discretized as follows:
[0041]

[0129] Numerical Examples Based on MT Forward Modeling
[0130] Numerical Example 1
[0131] Establish a three-layered model ( Figure 3 To test the influence of different posterior error estimates on the grid adaptation process of the magnetotelluric system, the resistivity of the three layers was 100 Ω·m, 10 Ω·m, and 100 Ω·m, respectively. The thickness of the first and second layers was 4 km, and the last layer was a uniform space extending downwards. The size of the finite element discrete model was 60 km × 60 km × 1700 km, and the air layer thickness was set to 20 km. We calculated the magnetotelluric (MT) response at 1 Hz. During the grid adaptive optimization process, based on the overall posterior error, the top 1% of error values were marked, and the corresponding element cells were bisected and refined. Four posterior error estimates were selected: normal current discontinuity Jn, residual Res, normal magnetic flux density Bn, and tangential magnetic flux density Bt. The error reduction process of the MT adaptive forward response for the four posterior error estimates was obtained. Figure 4 With each mesh update, the degrees of freedom (DoF) of the system equations will change accordingly. The faster the error decreases and the smaller the mismatch value, the more effective the adaptive optimization of the mesh.
[0132] In the mesh adaptive optimization process using the magnetic flux density (B) discontinuity as the posterior error estimate, whether in the normal or tangential direction, the MT response error at the observation points did not show a significant decreasing trend. However, the errors corresponding to the residuals and normal current discontinuities decreased with increasing iterations. Among these, the error curve for Jn showed the best decreasing trend. In the results for apparent resistivity and phase, the error curve for Jn decreased faster than the residual curve. When the number of iterations is the same, the normal current density discontinuity can effectively refine more elements, resulting in more degrees of freedom in the corresponding finite element system equations and higher MT response accuracy.
[0133] Numerical Example 2
[0134] Forward modeling of MT based on a more complex three-dimensional electrical inhomogeneity model is used for optimal posterior error estimation in test grid adaptation. In the three-dimensional electrical inhomogeneity model, two 10 Ω·m anomalous blocks are buried in a 100 Ω·m homogeneous half-space medium underground. Figure 5). The top depths of the two anomalous blocks are 4 km and 6 km, respectively, and the horizontal distance between them is 2 km. The size of the two anomalous blocks is 2 km x 2 km x 2 km. The measurement line is placed on the ground surface directly above the blocks.
[0135] The cells with error size in the top 1% are halved, and the grid adaptation iteration response error curves corresponding to the four posterior error estimates are shown in Figure 6 . The normal current discontinuity can be used as an error estimate to achieve the fastest response error reduction rate. The response error reduction trend of the vector potential residual is not as good as that of the tangential magnetic induction intensity discontinuity. In addition, the residual as an error indicator is difficult to accurately indicate the area that has a greater impact on the accuracy of the numerical solution, which leads to a limited number of correctly refined cells after each optimization iteration. As an error estimate, the tangential magnetic induction intensity discontinuity can maintain the same error curve decline trend as the normal current discontinuity in the early stages of the optimization process, but it cannot maintain this trend in the middle and later stages of the optimization iteration.
[0136] The impact of different posterior error estimates on grid adaptation optimization can be confirmed by the grid changes with iterations Figure 7 . The Jn discontinuity is used as a posterior error estimate to correctly indicate the cells to be refined in the near-surface and anomalous block areas. The posterior error estimate of the B discontinuity can only indicate the cells to be refined in the near-surface area, but it is too concentrated. They also incorrectly mark part of the air. In the residual grid adaptation optimization process, the grid refinement degree is not high for both the near-surface area and the anomalous block area. The grid change results of the residual show that it is difficult to accurately identify the factors affecting the accuracy of MT response data as a posterior error estimate.
[0137] The grid adaptation effects of octree refinement and halving refinement are shown by the response error changes after optimization iterations Figure 8 . When the dof is similar, the two refinement strategies can achieve similar MT response accuracy. According to the size of the posterior error, whether the top 1% or the top 3% of the cells are marked for refinement, the error curve of octree refinement and halving refinement has basically the same decline trend.
[0138] Numerical example based on line source forward modeling
[0139] Numerical example one
[0140] A three-dimensional block anomaly model with a line source is used Figure 9The effectiveness of the adaptive finite element scheme in solving the measured electromagnetic potential problem is tested. There is a 120 m x 200 m x 400 m block in a homogeneous subsurface space with a resistivity of 50 Ω·m, and a 100-meter-deep block is buried on the top of the block. A 100-meter-long grounding wire is laid on the ground at a horizontal distance of 900 meters from the block, and a 1A current with a frequency of 3Hz is transmitted.
[0141] For the forward modeling of the target-oriented adaptive finite element A-φ system with a line source, the influence of the above four error estimates in the grid adaptation process is evaluated by comparing the error curves of the response data. Figure 10 The error curves of the four kinds of posterior error estimates all show a downward trend, indicating that they can effectively indicate the factors that have a greater impact on the accuracy of the 3Hz line source forward simulation response data.
[0142] Among the four error curves, the error curve of Bn has no obvious downward trend, and the error curve of Bt only has an obvious downward trend in the early iterations. The residual curve has a significant decreasing trend, and the change trend of the real part of the electric field is more obvious than that of the imaginary part of the electric field. However, this trend is not as good as that of Jn. As the grid optimization process proceeds, Jn gradually becomes the most prominent, and its error reduction rate is significantly faster than that of the other three error indicators. Specifically, Jn has more degrees of freedom in one iteration, or when the degrees of freedom are similar, its error is significantly smaller.
[0143] The grid changes corresponding to the four posterior error estimates in the grid adaptation process are shown in Figure 11 Based on the error estimates of Bt or Bn discontinuity, part of the air can be easily marked as an area that needs to be refined. Their grid refinement is carried out around the line source and the upper and lower areas of the ground surface, and their indication of the abnormal block area is limited. Whether tangential or normal, the error estimates of the magnetic induction intensity B are difficult to clearly indicate those factors that reduce the accuracy of the response data. The residual-based error estimate cannot effectively mark the area near the line source as an area to be refined, and its grid refinement effect in the near-surface area is not ideal. The grid refinement of Jn is reflected on the current line source, the near-surface area and the abnormal block area. Moreover, the grid refinement of Jn is not obviously concentrated in a certain area.
[0144] The octree refinement and the binary refinement can obtain similar numerical solution accuracy, which indicates that the advantage of the octree refinement is that it can refine the elements to the desired state with fewer iteration times. Considering the grid adaptation optimization iteration as an optimization problem that generates elements that minimize the numerical solution error of the measuring point response data, the octree refinement and the binary refinement can be regarded as the difference in the step size of finding the extreme value in the optimization process, and the octree refinement strategy is a larger step optimization scheme.
[0145] The above-mentioned are only embodiments of the present application, and common technical solutions and / or common knowledge of the scheme are not described in detail. It should be pointed out that, for those skilled in the art, without departing from the technical solutions of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application, and these will not affect the effect and practicality of the patent. The protection scope claimed in the present application should be subject to the content of its claims, and the specific implementation mode and the like recorded in the specification can be used to explain the content of the claims.
