We simulate the helioseismic wave field by using the three-dimensional Semi-spectral Linear MHD (SLiM) code and exciting small-amplitude waves by sources distributed in the near-surface layers of a model solar atmosphere.Our model atmosphere is realistic in the sense that it has a standard sound-speed profile. Our source function is a realization drawn from a random process specified by a statistical description of solar convection. We obtain a quiet-Sun power spectrum of wave motions, which is consistent with Doppler observations. In order to study wave propagation through sunspots, we derive a simplified monolithic model sunspot embedded in the quiet-Sun model atmosphere. The corresponding wave field computed with SLiM is then compared with MDI observations of f- and p-mode scattering by magnetic region AR9787. The comparison is encouraging as the numerical simulation is able to reproduce wave absorption and scattering phase shifts. As part of our analysis, we show the advantage of computing a reference quiet-Sun wave field using the same realization of the sources for the purpose of comparisons and noise reduction.
