| Summary: | Simulating electromagnetic (EM) fields can obtain the EM responses of geoelectric models at different times and spaces, which helps to explain the dynamic process of EM wave propagation underground. EM forward modeling is regarded as the engine of inversion. Traditional numerical methods have certain limitations in simulating the EM responses from large-scale geoelectric models. In recent years, the emerging physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have given new solutions for geophysical EM field simulations. This paper conducts a preliminary exploration using PINN to simulate geophysical frequency domain EM fields. The proposed PINN performs self-supervised training under physical constraints without any data. Once the training is completed, the responses of EM fields at any position in the geoelectric model can be inferred instantly. Compared with the finite-difference solution, the proposed PINN performs the task of geophysical frequency domain EM field simulations well. The proposed PINN is applicable for simulating the EM response of any one-dimensional geoelectric model under any polarization mode at any frequency and any spatial position. This work provides a new scenario for the application of artificial intelligence in geophysical EM exploration. |
