Abstract: To speed up 3D magnetotelluric (MT) modelling, we introduce a novel algebraic multigrid-aggregation-based algebraic multigrid method (AGMG) into three dimensional forward modeling of magnetotelluric. We used the finite-volume algorithm based on the Yee's grids to discretize quasi-static Maxwell's equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions,and used the AGMG method to solve the final large sparse linear equation system in electric field. Through the coarsening of AGMG and the aggregating based on N-passes of a pairwise matching algorithm applied to the matrix graph,we proposed three different AGMG algorithms:1) the classic V-cycle AGMG algorithm;2) the AGMG preconditioned conjugate gradient algorithm (AGMG-CG); 3) the AGMG pretreated generalized conjugate residual method (AGMG-GCR). We performed 3D MT modelling for typical geo-electric models with different iteration,and analyzed the features of the AGMG techniques through comparing with ModEM algorithm. The results show that the AGMG methods are accurate and robust, the AGMG preconditioner improves the convergence of the classic V-cycle AGMG and Krylov subspace methods greatly. The AGMG-GCR method is the most effective one presented in this paper,which speeds up the modeling by ten times more than the ModEM codes for large-scale grids (144×152×104). The AGMG-GCR is especially suitable for large-scale 3D MT modeling because of its high precision, fast convergence, and robust iteration.
