“…It has been used to study wave propagation in complex 3D media, such as anisotropic (Stewart et al, 2013), random heterogeneous (Sivaji et al, 2002), dynamic (Sherlock and Evans, 2001), fractured (Ekanem et al, 2013), or anelastic (Lines et al, 2012) media. Data from laboratory experiments are considered as input data in inverse problems (Pratt, 1999), for testing new data processing algorithms (Campman et al, 2005), in time-lapse 3D studies (Sherlock et al, 2000), and to benchmark numerical model solutions (Bretaudeau et al, 2011).…”

International audienceAccurate simulation of seismic wave propagation in complex geologic structures is of particular interest nowadays. However, difficulties arise for complex geologic structures with great and rapid structural changes, due, for instance, to the presence of shadow zones, head waves, diffractions and/or edge effects. Different methods have thus been developed and are typically tested on synthetic configurations against analytical solutions for simple canonical problems, reference methods, or via direct comparison with real data acquired in situ. Such approaches have limitations, especially if the propagation occurs in a complex environment with strong-contrast reflectors and surface irregularities because it can be difficult to determine the method that gives the best approximation of the "real" solution or to interpret the results obtained without an a priori knowledge of the geologic environment. An alternative approach for seismics consists in comparing the synthetic data with data obtained in laboratory experiments. In contrast to in situ experiments, high-quality data are collected under controlled conditions for a known configuration. In contrast with numerical experiments, laboratory data possess many of the characteristics of field data because real waves propagate through models with no numerical approximations. Our main purpose was to test the approach of using laboratory data as reference data for benchmarking 3D numerical methods and techniques using the setup that we have designed for this study. We performed laboratory-scaled measurements of zero-offset reflection of broadband pulses from a strong topographic environment immersed in a water tank. We compared these measurements with numerical data simulated by means of a discretized Kirchhoff integral method. The comparisons of synthetic and laboratory data indicated a good quantitative fit in terms of time arrivals and acceptable fit in amplitudes. Thus, the first step of the approach was successfully applied

Accurate simulation of seismic wave propagation in complex geological structures is of particular interest nowadays. However conventional methods may fail to simulate realistic wavefields in environments with great and rapid structural changes, due for instance to the presence of shadow zones, diffractions and/or edge effects. Different methods, developed to improve seismic modeling, are typically tested on synthetic configurations against analytical solutions for simple canonical problems or reference methods, or via direct comparison with real data acquired in situ. Such approaches have limitations, especially if the propagation occurs in a complex environment with strong-contrast reflectors and surface irregularities, as it can be difficult to determine the method which gives the best approximation of the ''real'' solution, or to interpret the results obtained without an a priori knowledge of the geologic environment. An alternative approach for seismics consists in comparing the synthetic data with high-quality data collected in laboratory experiments under controlled conditions for a known configuration. In contrast with numerical experiments, laboratory data possess many of the characteristics of field data, as real waves propagate through models with no numerical approximations. We thus present a comparison of laboratory-scaled measurements of 3D zero-offset wave reflection of broadband pulses from a strong topographic environment immersed in a water tank with numerical data simulated by means of a spectral-element method and a discretized Kirchhoff integral method. The results indicate a good quantitative fit in terms of time arrivals and acceptable fit in amplitudes for all datasets.

“…Cooper et al, (2010) estudaram a resposta sísmica que um modelo na forma de cunha produz (difração, múltiplas e conversões de modo) nos sismogramas, utilizando dados sintéticos para apoiar a interpretação dos dados experimentais. Sherlock et al, (2000) simularam a sísmica 4D em caixas de areia, variando a saturação dos fluidos no modelo e obtiveram sucesso no mapeamento dos fluidos nos sismogramas. Além disso, Sherlock et al, (2000) também realizaram um experimento com um modelo preenchido por gás e água, no qual foi possível mapear o contato entre estes fluidos com o atributo sísmico cosseno da fase instantânea.…”
