초록

탄성파 속도는 지층 물성에 따라 다양하게 분포한다. 탄성파 음원 모음도 상에 나타나는 이러한 특성은 균질 매질을 고려한 수치 모델링에서는 정상적으로 모사할 수 없으므로 무작위 불균질 매질을 고려한 수치 모델링이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 불균질 매질 모델을 설정하고, 가우스 자기상관 함수, 지수 자기상관 함수, 폰 카르만 자기상관 함수를 이용하여 단순 지층 구조에 적용하고 각각의 특성을 살펴보았으며, 이 가운데 폰 카르만 자기상관 함수가 단파장 불균질 속도매질을 잘 표현함을 알 수 있었다. 가스 하이드레이트 수치모델링은 동해 현장자료를 바탕으로 해저면과 모델크기를 결정하였으며, 수치모델링 결과 폰 카르만 자기 상관함수가 불균질 지층구조를 포함하는 가스 하이드레이트 속도모델에서 산란현상을 가장 적절하게 구현함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 동해 탄성파 탐사자료의 탄성파 음원 모음도에서 나타나는 해저면 기인 강진폭 위상역전 반사파(BSR: bottom simulated reflector)와 산란파들이 불균질 수치 모형실험에서 적절하게 구현되었음을 알 수 있었다.

The seismic velocity at the formation varies widely with physical properties in the layers. These features on seismic shot gathers are not capable of reproducing normally by numerical modeling of homogeneous medium, so that we need that of random inhomogeneous medium instead. In this study, we conducted Gaussian autocorrelation function (ACF), exponential autocorrelation function and von Karman autocorrelation function for getting inhomogeneous velocity model and applied a simple geological model. According to the results, von Karman autocorrelation function showed short wavelength to the inhomogeneous velocity medium. For numerical modeling for a gas hydrate, we determined a geological model based on field data set gathered in the East sea. The numerical modeling results showed that the von Karman autocorrelation function could properly describe scattering phenomena in the gas hydrate velocity model which contains an inhomogeneous layer. Besides, bottom-simulating-reflectors and scattered waves which appear at seismic shot gather of the field data showed properly in the inhomogeneous numerical modeling.
