The invention provides a method and a
system for simulating air gun
hypocenter wavelets for offshore seismic
prospecting. The method includes measuring basic parameters of
seawater and air gun devices; calculating a
throttle constant of a gun body, an initial temperature of a gun chamber of an air gun, an initial
molar mass of a gas in the gun chamber, an initial
molar mass of the gas in a bubble, a
molar mass of the gas in the balanced bubble, initial still
water pressure, an initial
radius of the bubble, an initial volume of the gas in the bubble and a bubble balancing
radius; determining a function of a temperature
time history of the bubble in the vibration process of the bubble, a function of a
molar mass time history of the gas in the bubble and a function of a volume
time history of the gas in the bubble; simulating a time history
seawater viscosity; simulating a
pressure wave produced by the bubble in consideration of the
seawater viscosity and a ghost reflection pressure field; using the
pressure wave produced by the bubble to simulate a ghost reflection
pressure wave of the pressure wave; and overlying the pressure wave produced by the bubble and the ghost reflection pressure wave to synthesize the air gun wavelets. By means of the method and the
system, the consistency of
simulation wavelets and actual measurement wavelets is enhanced.
