SEISMIC WAVE MODELING FOR SEISMIC IMAGING
(Very) large-scale problems.
Example of hydrocarbon explorationTarget (oil & gas exploration): 20 km x 20 km x 8 km
Maximum frequency: 20 Hz
Minimum P and S wave velocities: 1.5 km/s and 0.7 km/s
FD discretization in the acoustic approximation:
h=1500/20/4 ~18 m. Dimensions of the FD grid: 1110 x 1110 x 445
Number of degrees of freedom: 550.106 (for the scalar pressure wavefield P)
FD discretization in the elastic approximation:
h=700/20/4~9 m. Dimensions of the FD grid: 2220 x 2220 x 890
Number of degrees of freedom: 3x4.4.109=~2x12=13.109 (for the vectorial velocity wavefield Vx, Vy, Vz)
If the wave equation is solved in the frequency domain (implicit scheme), sparse linear system should be solved, the dimension of which is the number of unknowns.
Need of efficient parallel algorithms on large-scale distributed-memory platforms. Both time and memory management are key issues.
SEISMIC WAVE MODELING FOR SEISMIC IMAGING
(Very) large-scale problems.
Example of the global earthTarget (the earth: sphere of 6370-km radius
Maximum frequency: 0.2 Hz
Hexahedric meshing:
Number of degrees of freedom: 14.6 109 (for the vectorial velocity wavefield Vx, Vy, Vz)
Simulation length: 60 minutes (50000 time steps with a time interval of 72 ms)
Simulation on 1944 processors of the Eart Simulator (Japan):
2.5 Terabytes of memory.
MPI (Message Passing Intyterface) parallelism.
Performance: 5 Teraflops.
Wall-clock time for one simulation: 15 hours.

SEISMIC WAVE MODELING FOR SEISMIC IMAGING
q Multi-r.h.s simulations in the context of large 3D surveys and non linear iterative optimization.
Building a model by full-waveform inversion requires at least to solve three times per inversion iteration the forward problem (seismic wave modeling) for each source of the acquisition survey.
Number of simulations for a realistic full-waveform inversion case study
Let’s consider a coarse wide-aperture/wide-azimuth survey with a network of land stations.
DR=400 m. Number of sensors (processed as sources in virtue of reciprocity of Green functions: 50x50=2500 r.h.s.
The forward problem must be solved 2500 x 3=7500 per inversion iterations.
Few hundreds to few thounsands of inversion iterations may be required to converge towards final models.

Each point of the FD grid acts as a secondary source. The envelope of the elementary diffractions provides the seismic response of the continuous medium if this latter is sufficiently-finelly discretized.

Assuming an uniform discretisation Dx,Dt on the string, we consider interpolation upto power 4
by summing, we cancel out odd terms
neglecting power 4 terms of the discretisation steps. We are left with quadratic interpolations, although cubic terms cancel out for precision.

Stability analysis
A numerical scheme is stable if it provides a bounded solution for a bounded source excitation.
A numerical scheme is unstable if it provides an unbounded solution for a bounded source excitation.

Impulsive source
Known solution
The source is a term which should be added to the equation. Because it is related to acceleration, we denote it as an impulsive excitation.
A particular solution of the wave equation is injected into the medium or the grid. Typically an incident plane wave is applied at each grid point along a given line.
Explosive source
A very popular excitation is the explosive source, which requires either applications of opposite sign forces on two nodes or a fictious force between two nodes. Once integration has been performed, we should add

Radiative boundariesOne may assign boundary conditions as if the medium was infinite, also known as radiative conditions. These conditions may be very complex to design if the medium is heterogeneous.

which again is exactly verified for the magic step of characteristics. For other time steps, interpolation between t-Dt and t-2Dt.
In 2D and 3D, the shape of the wavefront must be introduced in an attempt for absorbing waves along boundaries and we shall see that other techniques rather radiative conditions may be considered (p-characteristics).
The Perfectly Matched Layer concept turns out to be very efficient (Berenger, 1994).
