Numerical simulation of dynamic surface deformation based on DInSAR monitoring

Abstract

Differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar (DInSAR) technology is a new method to monitor the dynamic surface subsidence. It can monitor the large scope of dynamic deformation process of surface subsidence basin and better reflect the surface subsidence form in different stages. But under the influence of factors such as noise and other factors, the tilt and horizontal deformation curves regularity calculated by DInSAR data are poorer and the actual deviation is larger. The tilt and horizontal deformations are the important indices for the safety of surface objects protection. Numerical simulation method was used to study the dynamic deformation of LW32 of West Cliff colliery in Australia based on the DInSAR monitoring data. The result indicates that the subsidence curves of two methods fit well and the correlation coefficient is more than 95%. The other deformations calculated by numerical simulation results are close to the theory form. Therefore, considering the influence, the surface and its subsidiary structures and buildings due to mining, the numerical simulation method based on the DInSAR data can reveal the distribution rules of the surface dynamic deformation values and supply the shortcomings of DInSAR technology. The research shows that the method has good applicability and can provide reference for similar situation.
