Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sedimentation rate prediction, and particularly to a high-precision sedimentation rate prediction method based on numerical simulation of clastic sedimentary rock deposition. Background Art

[0002] In the field of geological research, the prediction of sedimentation rate of clastic sedimentary rocks has always been one of the core topics. From understanding the long geological evolution process of the earth, to exploring mineral resources buried deep underground, to evaluating possible geological disasters, accurate sedimentation rate data plays a key role. For example, in oil exploration, the sedimentation rate can help judge the formation conditions and distribution range of oil reservoirs; in the geological research of coastal zones, it helps predict coastline changes and marine disaster risks.

[0003] However, traditional prediction methods have significant defects. Methods based on simple geological observations and empirical formulas can only roughly estimate the sedimentation rate and are difficult to handle complex and variable sedimentary environments. The actual sedimentation process involves many complex physical processes, including the transportation of particles in water flow, the differential settlement of particles with different particle sizes, the interaction during the accumulation process, and the energy exchange between water flow and sediment. Moreover, there are close coupling relationships between different physical quantities, such as the mutual influence between flow velocity, sediment concentration, and topography. Traditional methods are difficult to comprehensively consider these factors, resulting in a significant reduction in prediction accuracy.

[0004] With the rapid development of computer technology and numerical simulation technology, using numerical simulation to predict sedimentation rate has become the mainstream trend. However, existing numerical simulation methods still have many deficiencies. In the model construction link, the simplification of complex geological conditions and physical processes is excessive, resulting in a large deviation between the model and the actual situation. During the parameter calibration process, the lack of effective data constraints and optimization algorithms makes it difficult for model parameters to accurately reflect the real sedimentation process. In terms of simulation accuracy, it cannot meet the requirements of high-precision sedimentation rate prediction. When facing complex geological structures and dynamically changing sedimentary environments, the reliability of prediction results is low. Therefore, we propose a high-precision sedimentation rate prediction method based on numerical simulation of clastic sedimentary rock deposition to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0054] In this embodiment, the preparation stage more specifically includes comprehensively considering basin boundary conditions, such as size, slope, water depth, tectonic movement intensity, waves, base level changes, etc.; flow velocity field conditions, including flow rate, flow velocity, sediment concentration, etc.; the scale and distribution of rivers flowing into lakes or seas; the type of sedimentary system; parameters such as the particle size composition of clastic particles, etc., so as to construct an accurate geological model, grasp the key factors for the formation of sedimentary systems in nature, ignore secondary factors, and determine the geometric scale and time scale between the model and the prototype;

Through precise model construction and meticulous parameter calibration, the prediction accuracy of the sedimentation rate of clastic sedimentary rocks is significantly improved. Compared with traditional methods, it can more accurately reflect the changes in sedimentation rates at different time periods and different locations, providing a more reliable data basis for subsequent research and applications. When establishing a numerical model, various physical processes such as particle transportation, settlement, and accumulation during the sedimentation process, as well as the interactions between different physical quantities, are fully considered. By using mathematical models such as the fluid mass conservation formula and the particle motion equation, the sedimentation process is accurately depicted, making the simulation results closer to the actual situation.

[0078] By reasonably selecting the geometric scale and time scale of the model and the prototype, a physical model can be flexibly constructed according to different target regions and research requirements. Whether it is a simple sedimentary environment or a complex geological structure area, the matching of the flow field and particle size can be effectively achieved, ensuring that the model can reflect the main characteristics of the clastic sedimentary system, improving the applicability of the method. Using actual sedimentation data to calibrate, verify, and optimize the model forms a continuously improved closed-loop system. When there is a deviation between the model prediction results and the actual data, the physical process description of the model can be improved or the model parameters can be adjusted until the high-precision sedimentation rate prediction requirements are met, ensuring the reliability and long-term effectiveness of the model.
