Abstract
Introduction. The problem of modelling the propagation of elastic waves is of great practical importance when conducting seismic exploration. Based on it, a model of the environment under study is being built. At the same time, the quality of the constructed model is determined by the accuracy of solving the modelling problem, which ensures constantly increasing requirements for modelling accuracy. For accurate modelling, it is important to correctly describe and take into account the boundaries of the media. At the same time, the quality of the constructed model is determined by the accuracy of solving the modelling problem, which ensures constantly increasing requirements for modelling accuracy.
Materials and Methods. We have studied a modification of the grid-characteristic method on rectangular grids using overset grids to describe the interface of media of complex shape. This approach has previously been used to describe the earth’s surface when conducting simulations on land. This paper describes its application in modelling the relief of the ocean shelf.
Results. The use of the overset grid reduces the modelling error, the number of parasitic waves and artifacts and makes it possible to get a more visual picture.
Discussion and Conclusions. Overset grids can be used to describe the interface of media in modelling seismic exploration of the ocean shelf. Their use makes it possible to increase the accuracy of modelling and reduce the number of artifacts compared to using only one grid.
