Numerical Modeling of Wave Processes in Rocks by the Grid-Characteristic Method

详细

The aim of this work is to study the spatial dynamic of wave propagation in rock formations, taking into account ravines and caverns. The dynamics of the seismic and acoustic waves generated by explosions of different types is investigated using seismograms measured by several reception lines. The research uses the numerical experiments using the full-wave joint simulation of acoustic and seismic wave propagation in heterogeneous mixed acoustic and linear-elastic media. The grid-characteristic method is used to obtain the mathematically and physically correct description of spatial dynamic wave processes taking the boundary and contact surfaces, including the interfaces between the linearelastic and the acoustic environments, into consideration. The influence of the type of explosion on the spatial dynamic wave patterns and seismograms is analyzed for the cases of horizontal and vertical reception lines. The dependences of spatial dynamic wave patterns and seismograms recorded by the horizontal and vertical reception lines on the distance of the karst caverns from the ravine are studied. The basic types of waves that different types of explosions generate in the rock formations, ravines, and caverns are investigated. The basic laws that characterize the emerging wave patterns and their influence on seismograms are found.
