Ocean Loading

This integration test compares seismograms in a 2D elastic domain with an ocean layer on top for three different scenarios:
  1. The ocean layer is completely ignored and replaced by a free surface
  2. The ocean layer is approximated by a load applied to the surface of the elastic domain
  3. The ocean is modelled as an acoustic medium in a coupled solid/fluid simulation.
Depending on the height (weight) of the water column, we expect the solutions of [1] and [2] to be similar for (very) thin ocean layers. Furthermore, the solutions to [2] and [3] are similar, if the height of the water column corresponds to a fraction of a wavelength (here: 10%).
The ocean load is modelled as a boundary condition, which is readily available from simple_config. There are two required steps to run a simulation with ocean loading:
  • Attach a scalar field OCEANLOAD to the mesh, which contains the weight of the water column, i.e., the ocean height times its density. The field is only required (and read) at the ocean surface. However, we currently don't have the concept of material properties at interface, so it still needs to have the same size as all other material parameters.
  • Add ocean loading as boundary condition to the waveform simulation object:
import salvus.flow.simple_config as sc
sim = sc.simulation.Waveform(mesh=mesh)
oceanload = sc.boundary.OceanLoading(side_sets=[...])
sim.add_boundary_conditions(oceanload)
