bnfd - BSU program synthetic data computation, Near and Far Field Waveforms in a whole space.
bnfd [ -h | infile | xforce | vp | vs | den | alpha | fc | icomp | ifield ]
Basic Seismic Utilities (BSU) evaluates Equation 4.23 (Aki and Richards, p. 73, Vol 1). The computed displacement field is for a homogeneous, elastic, whole space (no boundaries). The computation is useful to gain insight into the transition from near to far field, as well as understand the relationship between radiation pattern and the source. The user may select what terms to include in the output, and what component of motion to display. The input file is used to generate headers with the source and receiver coordinates. It also serves the additional design function of specifying the sample interval, number of samples, and number of traces to be generated in the output data set. C-Language Version.

-h |
Online help giving details on command line arguments | ||
|
infile |
Design file for setting geometry, tmax, number of channels, and sample interval of the output data. The input file is not altered. | ||
|
xforce |
The source function is defined by an equivalent point source. If you want to model a source with finite dimensions and surface area, you will have to write new code and integrate the results of this code over a specified surface area. Currently, xforce is limited to 1 of 3 possible directions: |
1= force in positive x-axis direction
2= force in positive y-axis direction
3= force in positive z-axis direction (which is down).

vp |
P-wave velocity (m/s) |

|
vs |
S-wave velocity (m/s) |

|
den |
Mass density of medium (kg/m^3) |

icomp |
Component of motion to output |
1=radial (x-axis, x1)
2=transverse (y-axis, x2)
3=vertical (z-axis, x3)

ifield |
Fields to include in output waveforms. The key is Binary Code (SPN)= (S-wave, P-wave, Near) Field |
0=wavelet only
1=(001) Near Field only
2=(010) Far Field P-wave only
3=(011) Far Field P-wave plus Near Field
4=(100) Far Field S-wave only

7=(111) All (Near and Far P- and S- wave)
NOTE:
If invoked with no options, will prompt user for input

EXAMPLE:
bnfd w001.seg 3 500. 200. 1600. 50. 50. 3 7
File w001.seg is used to design an output file. A vertical point force is excited in an elastic medium with Vp=500m/s, Vs=200m/s, Density=1600 kg/m^3. The wavelet will be an exonentially decaying sinusoid, decay constant 50/sec, center frequency 50 Hz. The vertical motion will be output in BSEGY format traces, and all fields (near and far) will be included in the displacements.
