# Model Interpolation

In this notebook we'll explore the concept of "model interpolation order". The spectral-element method works by approximating the dynamic field variables as Lagrange polynomials with time-varying coefficients. These polynomials are defined using the Gauss-Lobatto-Legendre (GLL) collocation points defined within each element. For a polynomial interpolation order of degree 4 (the default in Salvus), there will be 5 GLL points along each edge of a given element, which results in 25 and 125 points each for 2-D and 3-D elements, respectively. In general, a $d$-dimensional spectral element equipped with order $n$ interpolating polynomials will have $(n+1)^d$ GLL points in its interior.
While the GLL basis is the canonical method for representing the wavefield, we can also use it to represent the material parameters and spatial geometry. This tutorial shows how one can use different order (1, 2, and 4) interpolating polynomials to represent the model in Salvus. Specifically, we'll:
• Discretize a linearly-varying 2-D model onto 1st and 4th order polynomial bases
• Compare the wavefield solutions generated in each of these cases.
• Do the same in 3-D.

## Setting up the models

First we set up a simple function to return basic meshes for testing in both 2 and 3 dimensions. The size of the mesh is small as these examples will only run for a trivial duration, and are just meant to be used to explore the possible parameterizations. We'll also set up a constant density throughout the domain.
n = 25
x = 1.0
rho = 1000.0
mesh = sg2d.StructuredGrid2D.rectangle(
nelem_x=n, nelem_y=n, max_x=x, max_y=x
).get_unstructured_mesh()
mesh.find_side_sets()
Now we copy the mesh skeleton we created above into two separate meshes, each of which we'll set to a different model interpolation order. For brevity we'll use here orders 1 and 4 (order 2 is also supported and the workflow is identical).
mesh_order_1 = mesh.copy()
mesh_order_1.change_tensor_order(1)

mesh_order_4 = mesh.copy()
mesh_order_4.change_tensor_order(4)
Now we'll copy the coordinate arrays for use with the interpolation function we will write below. Note that we randomly choose which axis to interpolate over.
axis = np.random.choice([0, 1])
coords_order_1 = mesh_order_1.get_element_nodes()[:, :, axis].flatten()
coords_order_4 = mesh_order_4.get_element_nodes()[:, :, axis].flatten()
The function below will linearly interpolate a range of model parameters over the coordinate range of a mesh.
def li(x: np.ndarray, min_val, max_val) -> np.ndarray:
"""Linearly interpolate a parameter over a coordinate array.

Parameters
----------
x : np.ndarray
Flattened coordinate array (either x or y).
min_val : float
Value of the parameter at the minimum coordinate.
max_val : float
Value of the parameter at the maximum coordinate.

Returns
-------
np.ndarray
An array of values linearly interpolated over the coordinate range.

"""
m = (max_val - min_val) / (np.max(x) - np.min(x))
return m * x + min_val
We'll use the linear $M0$ and $M1$ to parameterize our acoustic domain. For more information on different supported parameterizations in Salvus, please refer to the relevant tutorial.
vp0, vp1 = 1000, 2000
m10 = m11 = 1 / rho
m00 = m10 / vp0 ** 2
m01 = m11 / vp1 ** 2
Now we interpolate and attach the desired parameter to our 1st order mesh...
m0 = (np.apply_along_axis(li, 0, coords_order_1, m00, m01)).reshape(
mesh_order_1.nelem, mesh_order_1.nodes_per_element
) * 0.5

m1 = (np.apply_along_axis(li, 0, coords_order_1, m10, m11)).reshape(
mesh_order_1.nelem, mesh_order_1.nodes_per_element
) * 0.5

mesh_order_1.attach_field("M0", m0)
mesh_order_1.attach_field("M1", m1)
mesh_order_1.attach_field("fluid", np.ones(mesh.nelem))
mesh_order_1

<salvus.mesh.unstructured_mesh.UnstructuredMesh at 0x7f1b45d958d0>
...and our 4th order mesh.
m0 = (np.apply_along_axis(li, 0, coords_order_4, m00, m01)).reshape(
mesh_order_4.nelem, mesh_order_4.nodes_per_element
) * 0.5

m1 = (np.apply_along_axis(li, 0, coords_order_4, m10, m11)).reshape(
mesh_order_4.nelem, mesh_order_4.nodes_per_element
) * 0.5

mesh_order_4.attach_field("M0", m0)
mesh_order_4.attach_field("M1", m1)
mesh_order_4.attach_field("fluid", np.ones(mesh.nelem))
