2D elastic finite-difference time-domain (P-SV) simulation.

A staggered-grid velocity-stress leapfrog solver for the 2D elastodynamic equations in an isotropic linear medium, following the reference formulation of Virieux, “P-SV wave propagation in heterogeneous media: velocity-stress finite-difference method”, Geophysics 51(4), 889-901 (1986):

the governing first-order velocity-stress system in (vx, vy) and (txx, tyy, txy) (Eq. 2), which handles heterogeneous media without any explicit interface treatment;
the fully staggered discretisation of Fig. 1 / Eq. 5, second order in space and time, arranged here so that the normal stresses share the cell centres of the acoustic solver (FDTD2D) and the velocities live on the cell faces;
the Courant stability condition $c_{P} Δ t 1/Δ x^{2} + 1/Δ y^{2} < 1$ (Eqs. 6-7), which depends only on the P-wave speed, and the numerical dispersion relations of Eqs. 13-14 with the 10-cells-per-wavelength rule;
liquids as the c_s = 0 limit: shear-free cells propagate the acoustic wave equation and a fluid-solid contact needs no special treatment.

Heterogeneous media use the effective grid parameters of Moczo, Kristek, Galis, Pazak & Balazovjech, “The finite-difference and finite-element modeling of seismic wave propagation and earthquake motion”, Acta Physica Slovaca 57(2), 177-406 (2007): density arithmetically averaged onto the faces and the shear modulus harmonically averaged onto the corners (Eqs. 7.37-7.39), which is what makes internal interfaces (including fluid-solid ones) converge to the physical traction continuity. Free surfaces use the stress-imaging condition (Levander 1988; Moczo et al. Eq. 9.9): zero normal stress on the surface plane and an antisymmetric image of the shear stress above it.

Two API levels are exposed, mirroring the acoustic module. elastic_fdtd_simulation builds the grid, runs a deterministic simulation and returns a frozen ElasticFDTDResult with per-probe signal histories, optional field snapshots and a .plot() method. ElasticFDTD2D is the underlying stepping engine for callers that need frame-by-frame access to the five field arrays.

The solver is deliberately deterministic: float64 arithmetic throughout, no random numbers and single-threaded numpy execution, so identical inputs give bit-identical outputs on the same platform.

Validated against analytic oracles: P- and S-wave times of flight $c_{P} = (λ + 2 μ) / ρ$ and $c_{S} = μ / ρ$ , the Rayleigh-wave speed from the exact characteristic equation (Cremer, Heckl & Petersson 2005, Eq. 3.149), the Kirchhoff thin-plate flexural dispersion $c_{B} = (B^{'} / m^{''})^{1/4} ω$ in its $λ_{B} ≫ h$ domain (Eqs. 3.83-3.89), the normal-incidence fluid-solid reflection coefficient $(Z_{2} - Z_{1}) / (Z_{2} + Z_{1})$ , the normal-incidence mass law of a thin immersed panel, and the exact reduction to the acoustic solver when c_s = 0 everywhere. The fluid-solid coupling is further pinned to the oblique plane-wave reflection coefficient of Brekhovskikh & Godin, Acoustics of Layered Media I (Springer 1990), Eqs. 4.2.22-4.2.26 (with the shear-wave mode conversion active), to the Scholte interface-wave speed from the exact characteristic equation of Eq. 4.4.20 (see scholte_speed), and to the exact three-media transmission of an immersed plate (B&G Eqs. 2.4.10, 2.4.14) including its first thickness resonance $f_{1} = c_{P} / (2 h)$ (Eq. 2.4.19), following the fluid-solid finite-difference benchmark of van Vossen, Robertsson & Chapman, Geophysics 67(2), 618-624 (2002).

) -> ElasticFDTDResult

Run a deterministic 2D elastic (P-SV) FDTD simulation.

Builds the staggered velocity-stress grid (Virieux 1986, Eq. 5), applies the requested boundary conditions, injects the sources and integrates for duration seconds, recording the selected fields at every probe each time step and, optionally, full-field snapshots.

The grid covers (nx * dx, ny * dx) metres; a cell index (ix, iy) maps to the physical cell centre ((ix + 0.5) * dx, (iy + 0.5) * dx). Resolve at least 10 cells per shortest wavelength ( $Δ x \leq c_{s, m i n} / (10 f)$ with c_s_min the smallest non-zero c_s over the solid cells, since the S wave is always the shortest; a wholly fluid map falls back to the acoustic rule on the smallest c_p; Virieux’s rule from the dispersion relations Eqs. 13-14), and 15-20 cells per wavelength when a Rayleigh wave along a free surface matters, the second-order stress-imaging surface being the most dispersive part of the scheme. The simulation is 2D (plane strain): a point source is physically a line source with cylindrical $1/ r$ amplitude spreading.

Parameters

Name	Description
`c_p`	P-wave speed map [m/s], shape `(ny, nx)`, or a scalar with an explicit `shape`.
`c_s`	S-wave speed map [m/s]; `c_s = 0` marks fluid cells.
`dx`	Grid spacing [m] (square cells).
`duration`	Physical time to simulate [s].
`sources`	One or more of `ExplosionSource` or `ForceSource`.
`rho`	Density map [kg/m3]; scalar or `(ny, nx)` array.
`shape`	Grid shape `(ny, nx)`, required when `c_p` is scalar.
`cfl`	Courant number in `(0, 1)` (Virieux Eqs. 6-7); the time step is $Δ t = C_{N} Δ x / (c_{p, m a x} 2)$ . Default 0.6.
`recording`	What the run records (`ElasticRecording`): the probe cells and their fields, and the snapshot cadence and field. `None` records nothing but the time axis.
`boundaries`	How the domain edges are terminated (`ElasticBoundaries`); `None` is rigid on all four sides.
`obstacle_mask`	Boolean map, shape `(ny, nx)`, of rigid cells (rasterised interior geometry).
`damping`	Uniform bulk amplitude decay rate [1/s].

Returns: An ElasticFDTDResult.

Raises

Exception	When
ValueError	If the inputs are invalid.

ElasticBoundaries

ElasticBoundaries(
    sides: str | Mapping[str, str] = 'rigid',
    absorbing_layer_cells: int = 20,
)

How the four edges of the elastic domain are terminated.

The sponge thickness only means anything where a side is absorbing, which is why it travels with the sides rather than beside them.

Parameters

Name	Description
`sides`	`"rigid"` (default), `"absorbing"`, `"free"`, or a mapping from side name (`left`/`right`/`top`/`bottom`) to one of those.
`absorbing_layer_cells`	Sponge-layer thickness for absorbing sides, in cells.

    c_s: float | Field2D,

    free_sides: str | Iterable[str] | None = None,
    obstacle_mask: NDArray[np.bool_] | None = None,
)

2D elastic (P-SV) FDTD stepping engine on a staggered grid.

The Virieux (1986) cell is shifted half a cell so it lands on the layout of the acoustic FDTD2D: the normal stresses txx and tyy share the cell centres, shape (ny, nx) (row = y, column = x, the imshow convention; Virieux’s downward z is the growing row here); vx lives at interior x-faces, shape (ny, nx - 1); vy at interior y-faces, shape (ny - 1, nx); the shear stress txy at interior corners, shape (ny - 1, nx - 1). Because only interior faces are stored, the domain boundary has zero normal velocity by construction and, with the corner shear stress taken as zero on the edge, is a shear-free rigid wall; free_sides turns selected sides into traction-free surfaces via stress imaging and sponge layers into absorbing ones. Material maps are given as the measurable wave speeds and converted internally to the Lame parameters $μ = ρ c_{S}^{2}$ and $λ = ρ (c_{P}^{2} - 2 c_{S}^{2})$ ; density is arithmetically averaged onto the faces and mu harmonically averaged onto the corners (zero whenever any neighbour is a fluid), the Moczo et al. (2007) effective parameters (Eqs. 7.37-7.39) that make internal interfaces converge to the physical traction continuity.

Parameters

Name	Description
`c_p`	P-wave speed map [m/s], shape `(ny, nx)`. A scalar with an explicit `shape` is also accepted.
`c_s`	S-wave speed map [m/s]; scalar or `(ny, nx)` array. `c_s = 0` marks a fluid cell (the acoustic limit); every cell must satisfy $c_{P}^{2} \geq 2 c_{S}^{2}$ (non-negative `lambda`).
`dx`	Grid spacing [m] (square cells).
`rho`	Density map [kg/m3]; scalar or `(ny, nx)` array.
`cfl`	Courant number $C_{N} = c_{p, m a x} Δ t 2 /Δ x$ ; the scheme is stable for $C_{N} < 1$ (Virieux Eqs. 6-7, a bound on `c_P` alone, independent of `c_S` and of the Poisson ratio) and values in `(0, 1)` are accepted. The default 0.6 keeps a wide stability margin with moderate numerical dispersion.
`sponge_width`	Thickness of the absorbing layer in cells (0 = no absorbing sides).
`sponge_sides`	Which sides absorb: a single side name or an iterable drawn from `{"left", "right", "top", "bottom"}` (default: all four when `sponge_width > 0`).
`sponge_reflection`	Target round-trip amplitude reflection of the sponge layer; sets the peak absorption rate.
`damping`	Bulk amplitude decay rate [1/s]: a scalar for the whole field or an `(ny, nx)` map for locally lossy regions.
`shape`	Grid shape `(ny, nx)`, required only when `c_p` is a scalar.
`free_sides`	Sides carrying a traction-free surface (stress imaging, Moczo et al. Eq. 9.9): the surface plane runs through the boundary row/column of cell centres, the normal stress is pinned to zero there and the shear stress is imaged antisymmetrically above it. A side cannot be both free and absorbing.
`obstacle_mask`	Boolean map, shape `(ny, nx)`, of rigid cells: every face adjacent to a masked cell is closed (zero normal velocity) and every touching corner shear stress is zeroed, i.e. a shear-free rigid inclusion, rasterising arbitrary interior geometry.

ElasticFDTD2D.add_source()

ElasticFDTD2D.add_source(source: ElasticSource) -> None

Explosions inject additively at one cell centre; forces at one staggered velocity node. Positions are validated against the grid and the obstacle mask.

ElasticFDTD2D.collocated()

ElasticFDTD2D.collocated(field: str) -> Field2D

One field interpolated to the cell centres, shape (ny, nx).

"p" is the synthetic pressure; "vx"/"vy" average the two adjacent faces (domain-edge faces count as zero, their built-in value), so probes and snapshots of every field share the cell-centre positions.

ElasticFDTD2D.energy()

ElasticFDTD2D.energy() -> float

Total elastic field energy [J per metre of depth].

Kinetic energy plus the plane-strain elastic energy expressed in stresses by inverting the 2D stiffness (determinant $4 μ (λ + μ)$ ); fluid cells (mu = 0) degenerate to the acoustic $p^{2} / (2 λ)$ and shear-free corners contribute nothing.

ElasticFDTD2D.from_regions()

classmethod

ElasticFDTD2D.from_regions(
    shape: tuple[int, int],
    dx: float,
    *,
    background: Material | tuple[float, float, float],
    regions: Iterable[tuple[Any, Material | tuple[float, float, float]]] = (),
    **kwargs: Any,
) -> ElasticFDTD2D

Build the engine from named materials painted over a background.

Thin sugar over the map constructor for the common layered set-ups (fluid over a solid half-space, an immersed plate, an inclusion): the (ny, nx) maps of c_p, c_s and rho start uniform at background and each (where, material) entry of regions is painted over them in order (later entries overwrite earlier ones), then everything is delegated to the normal constructor. No new physics: a fluid-solid contact still needs no explicit interface treatment, because the constructor’s effective parameters (Moczo et al. 2007, Eqs. 7.37-7.39) handle it from the maps alone.

where selects the painted cells: a boolean (ny, nx) mask, or any basic numpy index expression over the (row, column) maps, e.g. (slice(120, None), slice(None)) for the lower half or numpy.s_[120:, :] for the same thing spelled as a slice.

Parameters

Name	Description
`shape`	Grid shape `(ny, nx)`.
`dx`	Grid spacing [m] (square cells).
`background`	The material filling the whole grid first: a `Material` or a `(c_p, c_s, rho)` triple, e.g. `WATER`.
`regions`	`(where, material)` pairs painted in order.
`kwargs`	Forwarded to `ElasticFDTD2D` (`cfl`, `sponge_width`, `sponge_sides`, `sponge_reflection`, `damping`, `free_sides`, `obstacle_mask`).

Returns: The configured stepping engine.

Raises

Exception	When
ValueError	If a mask does not match `shape` or a material spec is invalid.

ElasticFDTD2D.p

property

Synthetic pressure -(txx + tyy) / 2 at cell centres [Pa].

The mean compressive normal stress: in fluid (c_s = 0) regions it is exactly the acoustic pressure, and in solids it is the convenient scalar for probes and snapshots.

ElasticFDTD2D.run()

ElasticFDTD2D.run(
    steps: int,
    record_every: int | None = None,
    decimate: int = 1,
) -> NDArray[np.float64]

Advance steps steps, optionally recording pressure frames.

With record_every = k a snapshot of the synthetic pressure p is stored after every k-th step (and one of the initial state), spatially subsampled by decimate; the stacked (n_frames, ny', nx') array plugs straight into a FuncAnimation imshow update. Without record_every an empty array is returned and only the final state is kept.

ElasticFDTD2D.step()

ElasticFDTD2D.step() -> None

Advance the leapfrog scheme by one time step (Virieux Eq. 5).

ElasticFDTD2D.time

property

Elapsed simulated time [s].

ElasticFDTDResult

ElasticFDTDResult(
    times: NDArray[np.float64],
    signals: NDArray[np.float64],
    probe_fields: tuple[str, ...],
    probes: NDArray[np.int_],
    probe_positions: NDArray[np.float64],
    dx: float,
    dt: float,
    shape: tuple[int, int],
    sources: tuple[ElasticSource, ...],
    snapshots: NDArray[np.float64] | None,
    snapshot_times: NDArray[np.float64] | None,
    snapshot_field: str,
    obstacle_mask: NDArray[np.bool_] | None,
    free_sides: tuple[str, ...],
)

Frozen result of an elastic_fdtd_simulation run.

ElasticFDTDResult.plot()

ElasticFDTDResult.plot(
    ax: Axes | None = None,
    *,
    kind: str = 'probes',
    frame: int = -1,
    language: str = 'en',
    **kwargs: Any,
) -> Axes

Plot the probe histories or one recorded field snapshot.

Parameters

Name	Description
`ax`	Existing axes, or `None` to create a figure.
`kind`	`"probes"` (default) draws the per-probe signal time histories; `"snapshot"` renders one recorded field with the geometry overlaid (`imshow` raster).
`frame`	Snapshot index for `kind="snapshot"` (default: the last recorded frame).
`language`	Label language, `"en"` (default) or `"es"`.
`kwargs`	Forwarded to the underlying `plot`/`imshow`.

Returns: The axes.

ElasticFDTDResult.size

property

Domain size (lx, ly) [m].

ElasticRecording

ElasticRecording(
    probes: Sequence[tuple[int, int]] = (),
    probe_fields: Sequence[str] = ('vy',),
    snapshot_every: int | None = None,
    snapshot_field: str = 'p',
)

What an elastic run writes down: probe traces and field snapshots.

The two ways out of a running simulation. Probes record a time history at named cells, one trace per field of probe_fields; snapshots record the whole domain every snapshot_every steps for one field. Recording nothing (the default) runs the physics and keeps only the time axis.

Parameters

Name	Description
`probes`	Probe cells as `(ix, iy)` index pairs.
`probe_fields`	Which fields each probe records, drawn from `("p", "vx", "vy")` (default `("vy",)`, the component a surface accelerometer would see).
`snapshot_every`	Record a full field snapshot every this many steps (and at $t = 0$ ); `None` records none.
`snapshot_field`	Field recorded in the snapshots (`"p"`/`"vx"`/`"vy"`, interpolated to cell centres).

ExplosionSource

ExplosionSource(
    ix: int,
    iy: int,
    waveform: Callable[[float], float],
    amplitude: float = 1.0,
)

An isotropic (explosive) stress injection at one cell centre.

Virieux (1986) drives an explosion with equal increments on both normal stresses at their shared node, which avoids the infinite amplitudes of a velocity-node source. The sign convention here is pressure-like: the waveform value is the injected compression, added as -s(t) to both txx and tyy so the synthetic pressure $p = - (t_{xx} + t_{y y}) /2$ increases with a positive waveform (and a c_s = 0 run reproduces the acoustic solver driven by the same waveform, sample by sample).

waveform maps time in seconds to the injected pressure in pascals: any callable, typically the value method of a GaussianPulse, CWSource or SignalSource (their own ix/iy are not used here).

Attributes

Name	Description
`ix`	Source column (x) index; the cell centre is at $x = (i_{x} + 0.5) Δ x$ .
`iy`	Source row (y) index.
`waveform`	Callable `t -> s(t)` in pascals.
`amplitude`	Extra gain applied to `waveform`.

ForceSource

ForceSource(
    ix: int,
    iy: int,
    direction: str,
    waveform: Callable[[float], float],
    amplitude: float = 1.0,
)

A directional body-force injection at one velocity node.

The standard body-force term of the equation of motion (the f of the Moczo et al. 2007 formulation): each step the target velocity component receives dt * f(t) / (rho * dx**2), i.e. waveform is a line force per unit depth [N/m] spread over one cell. A vertical force just below a free surface reproduces Lamb’s problem and launches the Rayleigh wave (Virieux 1986, Fig. 5).

ix/iy index the staggered velocity array directly: for direction = "x" the x-face between cells ix and ix + 1 (position ((ix + 1) * dx, (iy + 0.5) * dx)), for direction = "y" the y-face between rows iy and iy + 1 (position ((ix + 0.5) * dx, (iy + 1) * dx)).

Attributes

Name	Description
`ix`	Source column index into the velocity array.
`iy`	Source row index into the velocity array.
`direction`	`"x"` (horizontal) or `"y"` (vertical, positive downward in the `imshow` axes).
`waveform`	Callable `t -> f(t)` in newtons per metre of depth.
`amplitude`	Extra gain applied to `waveform`.

Material

Material(c_p: float, c_s: float, rho: float)

An isotropic elastic medium as measurable wave speeds and density.

The three numbers the solver’s material maps are built from: the compressional speed $c_{P} = (λ + 2 μ) / ρ$ , the shear speed $c_{S} = μ / ρ$ and the density rho. c_s = 0 marks a fluid (the acoustic mu = 0 limit of the elastic scheme, Virieux 1986), so the same dataclass names both fluids and solids. Every material must satisfy $c_{P}^{2} \geq 2 c_{S}^{2}$ (non-negative first Lame parameter), the constructor bound of ElasticFDTD2D.

The module constants AIR, WATER, STEEL, ALUMINIUM and CONCRETE carry the nominal round-number properties used throughout the documentation and the validation suite, mirroring the documented default media of the acoustic solver.

Attributes

Name	Description
`c_p`	Compressional (P) wave speed [m/s], strictly positive.
`c_s`	Shear (S) wave speed [m/s], non-negative; 0 marks a fluid.
`rho`	Density [kg/m3], strictly positive.

Material.is_fluid

property

True when the material carries no shear (c_s = 0).

scholte_speed

scholte_speed(
    fluid: Material | tuple[float, float, float],
    solid: Material | tuple[float, float, float],
) -> float

Exact Scholte-wave speed of a fluid over an elastic half-space [m/s].

The Scholte wave is the true interface wave of a fluid-solid contact: evanescent on both sides, elliptical particle motion, no low-frequency cut-off, and non-dispersive over homogeneous half-spaces (Jensen, Kuperman, Porter & Schmidt, Computational Ocean Acoustics 2e, Sections 4.5.2 and 8.5.4). Its speed v lies below both the fluid sound speed and the solid shear speed, and solves the exact characteristic equation of Brekhovskikh & Godin, Acoustics of Layered Media I (1990), Eq. 4.4.20, written in the notation of Eq. 4.4.18 ( $q = c_{S}^{2} / c_{P}^{2}$ , $r = c_{S}^{2} / c^{2}$ , $s = v^{2} / c_{S}^{2}$ , $m = ρ_{solid} / ρ_{fluid}$ ):

4 1 - s 1 - q s - (2 - s)^{2} = \frac{s ^{2}}{m} \frac{1 - s q}{1 - sr}

A root always exists (B&G Section 4.4.3); the $m \to \infty$ limit of the left side is the Rayleigh equation. For stiff beds the root hugs the fluid speed (water over steel: 1479.6 m/s, 0.027 % below c) while for soft sediments it drops well below it, which is why measured seabed interface waves probe the sediment shear speed ( $v \approx 0.85 c_{S}$ rule, Jensen et al. Section 5.10.5).

Parameters

Name	Description
`fluid`	Fluid half-space: a `Material` with `c_s = 0` (or a `(c_p, 0.0, rho)` triple).
`solid`	Elastic half-space: a `Material` with `c_s > 0`.

Returns: The Scholte-wave phase speed [m/s].

Raises

Exception	When
ValueError	If `fluid` carries shear or `solid` does not.

STEEL

WATER
