Abstract:

To study the fulltime response characteristics of airborne TEM with complex geoelectric models, it is necessary to develop a 3D forward algorithm with transmitted waveform consideration. Based on the unstructured tetrahedral mesh and the Shift-and-Invert Krylov subspace (SAI Krylov) method, we achieve the fulltime 3D edge finite-element simulation of airborne transient electromagnetic, by using the source processing technology-based dipole discretization technique. We simulate the shape of the transmitting loop by topography, and then the instantaneous current pulse technology is used to simulate the transmitting waveform. The numerical simulation algorithm developed here is verified by the analytical solutions of the uniform half-space model, under the excitation of step wave, half-sine wave, triangle wave, and trapezoidal wave, and by the calculation results of the 3D FETD algorithm of the VTEM actual transmitting waveform. The anomaly spherical model with uplifted terrain is designed, and the characteristics of airborne transient electromagnetic response are calculated and analyzed. The fulltime 3D numerical simulation algorithm of airborne TEM (based on SAI Krylov subspace) is suitable to calculate the response of complex geoelectric models, and is highly accurate.
