Mesh-to-mesh interpolation

Micro-tutorial

Interpolating between two unstructured meshes is useful in several situations, such as
  • representing two models on the exact same mesh,
  • increasing the frequency band in an ongoing inversion, and
  • re-meshing a model when a decrease in the minimum velocity begins to result in under-resolved waveforms,
among others.

In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to perform mesh-to-mesh interpolation in 2-D (first) and 3-D (second).

# Gaussian
x, y = np.linspace(0.0, 1.0, 100), np.linspace(0.0, 1.0, 100)
xx, yy = np.meshgrid(x, y, indexing="xy")
g = np.exp(-(((xx - 0.5) ** 2 + (yy - 0.5) ** 2) / (2 * 0.2**2)))

# Pars
vp = 2 * g + 1
rho = vp / 2

# Xarray dataset
ds = xr.Dataset(
    coords={"x": x, "y": y},
    data_vars={"vp": (["x", "y"], vp), "rho": (["x", "y"], rho)},
)

# Salvus wrapper.
m = sn.model.volume.cartesian.GenericModel(name="blob", data=ds)

# Plot

p = sn.Project.from_volume_model("proj_2d", m, True)
s = sn.simple_config.source.cartesian.ScalarPoint2D(x=0.25, y=0.25, f=1.0)
r = sn.simple_config.receiver.cartesian.Point2D(
    x=0.75, y=0.75, fields=["phi"], station_code="XX", network_code="XX"
)

p.add_to_project(sn.EventCollection.from_sources(sources=s, receivers=r))
f_max = 10.0

# Common event configuration.

        ),
    ),
    elements_per_wavelength=2.0,
)
for s in [s0, s1]:
    p.add_to_project(s, overwrite=True)
Interpolate the blob mesh onto the homogeneous mesh
# Interpolate.

    p.simulations.get_mesh("homo_fmax_1.5"),
