In order to assess the feasibility and validity of surface-wave tomography as a tool for mineral exploration, we present an active seismic three-dimensional case study from the Siilinjärvi mine in Eastern Finland. The aim of the survey is to identify the formation carrying the mineralization in an area south of the main pit, which will be mined in the future. Before acquiring the data, we performed an accurate survey design to maximize data coverage and minimize the time for deployment and recollection of the equipment. We extract path-averaged Rayleigh-wave phase-velocity dispersion curves by means of a two-station method. We invert them using a computationally efficient tomographic code which does not require the computation of phase-velocity maps and inverts directly for one-dimensional S-wave velocity models. The retrieved velocities are in good agreement with the data from a borehole in the vicinity, and the pseudo three–dimensional S-wave velocity volume allows us to identify the geological contact between the formation hosting most of the mineralization and the surrounding rock. We conclude that the proposed method is a valid tool, given the small amount of equipment used and the acceptable amount of time required to process the data.  相似文献

利用西藏自治区林芝地区的固定地震台站与南迦巴瓦流动测震台站在2017年11月18日至2017年11月24日记录到的430个余震的直达波走时数据反演得到了震源区的三维P波速度、S波速度结构，并利用三维速度结构对余震进行了重定位.成像结果显示，米林地震震源区在0~5 km深度内存在低地震波速度异常；在5~15 km深度内，存在高地震波速度异常，该高速异常致使震源区西南侧的地震波速度高于东北侧.重定位结果中，余震呈条带状以NW-SE走向展布，震源深度具有西南方向深、东北方向浅的特征.主震位于11 km深度处、高地震波速异常体顶部，余震主要分布在高地震波速度与低地震波速度过渡的区域.对成像结果的分析表明，震源区浅部的低速异常具有低泊松比的特性，与富石英的沉积变质杂岩体-东久杂岩单元的岩性特征有关；深部的速度结构特征则可能反映了发震断层上盘地震波速度高，下盘地震波速度低的介质特性.余震重定位结果与成像结果联合表明：此次地震发震断层从11 km深度处，东久杂岩体下方的高地震波速度异常顶部开始破裂，继而在5~15 km深度内发生后续破裂，后续破裂的发生区域正处于喜马拉雅构造单元与冈底斯构造单元接触的形变区内.此外，根据地震波速度计算的泊松比反映了震源区持续的低泊松比特征，暗示此次地震与流体活动并无直接关系.  相似文献

Numerical determination of pressure-dependent effective thermal conductivity in Berea sandstone     

Mirko Siegert  Marcel Gurris  Claudia Finger  Erik H. Saenger 《Geophysical Prospecting》2022,70(1):152-172

In this paper, the methods of digital rock physics are applied to determine pressure-dependent effective thermal conductivity in rock samples. Simulations are performed with an in-house three-dimensional finite volume code. In the first step, four numerical models are derived from a given tomographic scan of Berea sandstone. Consequently, simulations of the thermal conductivity at ambient conditions are performed and validated with experimental data. In a second step, a new workflow for the determination of the pressure-dependent thermal conductivity in rock samples is elaborated, tested and calibrated. Results originating from the derived workflow show very good agreement with experimental data.  相似文献   

Frequency‐domain waveform modelling and inversion for coupled media using a symmetric impedance matrix          下载免费PDF全文

Jungkyun Shin  Hyunggu Jun  Dong‐Joo Min  Changsoo Shin 《Geophysical Prospecting》2017,65(1):170-183

To simulate the seismic signals that are obtained in a marine environment, a coupled system of both acoustic and elastic wave equations is solved. The acoustic wave equation for the fluid region simulates the pressure field while minimizing the number of degrees of freedom of the impedance matrix, and the elastic wave equation for the solid region simulates several elastic events, such as shear waves and surface waves. Moreover, by combining this coupled approach with the waveform inversion technique, the elastic properties of the earth can be inverted using the pressure data obtained from the acoustic region. However, in contrast to the pure acoustic and elastic cases, the complex impedance matrix for the coupled media does not have a symmetric form because of the boundary (continuity) condition at the interface between the acoustic and elastic elements. In this study, we propose a manipulation scheme that makes the complex impedance matrix for acoustic–elastic coupled media to take a symmetric form. Using the proposed symmetric matrix, forward and backward wavefields are identical to those generated by the conventional approach; thus, we do not lose any accuracy in the waveform inversion results. However, to solve the modified symmetric matrix, LDLT factorization is used instead of LU factorization for a matrix of the same size; this method can mitigate issues related to severe memory insufficiency and long computation times, particularly for large‐scale problems.  相似文献   

Towards more systematic perceptual model development: a case study using 3 Luxembourgish catchments          下载免费PDF全文

The synthesis of experimental understanding of catchment behaviour and its translation into qualitative perceptual models is an important objective of hydrological sciences. We explore this challenge by examining the cumulative understanding of the hydrology of three experimental catchments and how it evolves through the application of different investigation techniques. The case study considers the Huewelerbach, Weierbach and Wollefsbach headwater catchments of the Attert basin in Luxembourg. Subsurface investigations including bore holes and pits, analysis of soil samples and Electrical Resistivity Tomography measurements are presented and discussed. Streamflow and tracer data are used to gain further insights into the streamflow dynamics of the catchments, using end‐member mixing analysis and hydrograph separation based on dissolved silica and electrical conductivity. We show that the streamflow generating processes in all three catchments are controlled primarily by the subsolum and underlying bedrock. In the Huewelerbach, the permeable sandstone formation supports a stable groundwater component with little seasonality, which reaches the stream through a series of sources at the contact zone with the impermeable marls formation. In the Weierbach, the schist formation is relatively impermeable and supports a ‘fill and spill’‐type of flow mechanism; during wet conditions, it produces a delayed response dominated by pre‐event water. In the Wollefsbach, the impermeable marls formation is responsible for a saturation‐excess runoff generating process, producing a fast and highly seasonal response dominated by event water. The distinct streamflow generating processes of the three catchments are represented qualitatively using perceptual models. The perceptual models are in turn translated into quantitative conceptual models, which simulate the hydrological processes using networks of connected reservoirs and transfer functions. More generally, the paper illustrates the evolution of perceptual models based on experimental fieldwork data, the translation of perceptual models into conceptual models and the value of different types of data for processes understanding and model representation.

用一种新滤波函数进行CT图像的局部重建     

徐茂林  邱钧  范惠荣  张兆田  李兴东 《CT理论与应用研究》2004,13(1):54-58

本文阐述了用一种新型滤波函数进行CT图象局部重建的原理,并给出了这种重建的二次误差估计.本文选用一种新的滤波函数,它的旁瓣衰减很快,经证明在可能选取的滤波函数中,它的衰减是最快的.新滤波函数由于空域的迅速衰减性,因此具有良好的局部重建性质.同时保持该滤波函数的其它特性,能够有效地抑制噪声,补偿混迭效应,并缓解Gibbs效应.应用新滤波函数,忽略远离计算点的数据,从而直接用CBP实现图像局部重建.在计算机上对模拟和实测数据进行局部重建的实验结果表明本文建议的图像局部重建算法简便快速,重建图象Gibbs效应减小并与用全部数据的CBP重建图像比较仍具有较高的空间及密度分辨率.  相似文献

收集了南北地震带区域地震台网中292个地震台站2008年1月至2011年3月期间的地震波形数据,由频时分析方法提取了Love波相速度频散曲线,经过反演得到了研究区内的Love波相速度分布.根据Love波纯路径频散,采用线性反演方法对0.25°×0.25°的网格点进行了一维S波速度结构反演,利用线性插值获取了南北地震带地区的三维S波速度结构.结果显示了松潘—甘孜地体和川滇菱形块体地区的下地壳具有明显的S波低速层分布,该异常分布特征支持解释青藏高原隆升及其地壳物质运移的下地壳流模型.在100至120km深度上,川滇菱形块体西北部呈现较强的S波高速异常,这可能是印度岩石圈板块沿喜马拉雅东构造结下插至该区域所致,该区域下地壳的低速软弱物质与上地幔的高速强硬物质形成了鲜明对比,暗示了地壳和上地幔可能具有不同的构造运动和变形方式,这为该区域的壳幔动力学解耦提供了条件.  相似文献
