Study on conical source transient electromagnetic based on AWPSO algorithm

Abstract

The transient electromagnetic conical field source device can effectively reduce the inductance between the coils and improve the resolution of the small device to detect the shallow underground layer. However, the conventional inversion method requires an initial model and has the disadvantage of low inversion precision. Combined with the results of previous studies, this paper proposed an adaptive weighted particle swarm optimization (AWPSO) algorithm based on Sigmoid function through the analysis and research of PSO, which solved the problem of artificial initial model and low precision of inversion results. By calculating the test function, the algorithm can effectively improve the searching ability of particle swarm optimization algorithm. Several different typical geoelectric models are designed, and the algorithm is applied to data inversion of transient electromagnetic geoelectric model. Combined with the measured data of a hot spring practice area, the inversion calculation and interpretation of the sounding data were carried out, and the inversion calculation results were confirmed by the geological and hydrological data. The results show that the proposed particle swarm optimization algorithm has a high inversion fitting degree to the theoretical model and the measured data, achieves the separation of the apparent resistivity anomalies in the shallow subsurface, and improves the resolution and interpretation accuracy of the measured data in the conical field source transient electromagnetic method.
