Shallow Hidden Cave Seismic Wavefield Numerical Simulation Based on Gaussian Beam Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Hidden cave is one of the most common geological hazards and the seismic prospecting method is an efficient tool to detect it. Numerical simulation method is the main method of geophysical forward modeling and plays a very important role in seismic prospecting. Gaussian beam forward modeling method combines the wave equation and the ray theory closely, and it has the advantages of high efficiency and high precision. We used Gaussian beam method to simulate the seismic wavefield of shallow hidden cave, and the results showed that the seismic numerical simulation can effectively help us design and optimize the geometry in actual field work. With the help of seismic numerical simulation, the efficiency and precision of shallow seismic prospecting will be improved significantly.
