Abstract: The fluctuation components and their energy ratio characteristics of seismic wave field motivated by airgun source in shallow water are analyzed through theoretical derivation, numerical simulation and experiment.The layered model of shallow water is simulated using high-order staggered-grid finite difference method, and the wave systems and components of seabed seismic wave field are given. Wave components of the simulated seabed seismic wave field are separated using τ-p method, and the fluctuation components and their energy ratios of seismic wave field are simulated and analyzed. A lake trial and two sea trials were made to validate the theoretical and simulated results. The results demonstrate that the seabed seismic wave motivated by airgun source in water is divided into longitudinal wave, transversl wave, underwater acoustic wave, and surface wave, τ-p method can be used to separate the wave components of seismic wave field, and the sea bottom characteristics can be obtained from the signals received by the seismic array. The seabed seismic wave, interface wave and transversal wave are easily motivated on hard seabed, the longitudinal wave is easily motivated on soft seabed, and the interface wave is difficultly motivated on very soft seabed.

Key words: seabedseismicwavefield, airgunsource, τ-pmethod, wavefieldseparation, energyratio
