Sigsbee2 Models

Finite Difference Modeling

Finite difference (FD) shot and data modeling can be performed on the Sigsbee models using Madagascar. This example will use the Sigsbee2A model but but it could be easily extended to perform modeling on Sigsbee2B.

For the purposes of this example a shot will be fired at 10 km along the horizontal coordinate and at a depth of 10 meters. Receivers are spread at a depth of 0 meters every 7.62 m (25 ft) along the entire scope of the model. This long receiver cable is impractical but useful for these purposes. Data is recorded on every receiver at time increments of 1 ms 3000 times resulting in 3 seconds of data.

An SConstruct file located within sigsbee/fdmod2A/ properly formats the model and inputs necessary parameters to perform a shot on the Sigsbee model. This file is reproduced below in Table 9.

Table 9. Scons script that performs a finite difference synthetic shot on Sigsbee2A.

Typing Command 4 within the sigsbee/fdmod2A/ directory runs the FD modeling script.

$$\texttt{bash-3.1\$\ scons\ view}$$ (4)

This script first constructs the survey acquisition geometry as was previously mentioned. An image of the survey is created and presented in Figure 9.

vel
Figure 9. FD model geometry as performed on the Sigsbee 2A velocity model. The X represents the shot while the smaller * symbols represent receivers. The receivers extent along the right hand side although it is not clear in this image.

Firing the shot results the propagation of a wavefield which can be seen in the movie wfl.vpl that is generated. Typing Command 5 within the sigsbee/fdmod2A directory displays the wavefield movie.

$$\texttt{bash-3.1\$\ scons\ wfl.vpl}$$ (5)

Four frames from this movie are presented in Figure 10 illustrating the propagation of the wavefield in the model.

Figure 10. Images of the propagating wavefield in the Sigsbee model generated by a finite difference model.

The resulting data is then presented in the file dat.vpl. This plot is reproduced here in Figure 11.

dat

FD models can be performed on the Sigsbee2B model in a similar fashion. The primary change would be in appending line six, the model input file, in the SConstruct file shown in Table 9.
