The invention relates to the technical field of
coal seam inversion and imaging, in particular to a reflection channel wave imaging method and
system considering the layering attenuation characteristic of a thick
coal seam, and the method comprises the steps: constructing a
coal seam layering geologic model, setting the initial
wave velocity and initial quality factor of each layer, and forming an initial parameter field; setting an artificial seismic source and a plurality of detection points, exciting a seismic source
signal at the artificial seismic source, recording seismic source information, and collecting a
seismic wave response
signal of each detection point; performing forward modeling by using a fractional order viscoelastic
wave equation considering a spatial variable quality factor; carrying out
full waveform inversion to obtain an inversion model; and on the basis of the inversion model, a
level set function and a self-adaptive grid division strategy are adopted to express a barrier boundary in the coal seam to execute pre-stack
wave field separation
reverse time migration imaging, and a coal seam structure image is generated. The method can significantly improve the imaging resolution and calculation efficiency of the coal seam structure, and achieves the high-precision recognition of the boundary of the obstacle.
