Simulating Secondary Magnetic Field Data over a Conductive Layered Earth#

Secondary magnetic fields are simulated over a conductive 1D layered Earth. From the top layer down we define 3 layers with electrical conductivities \(\sigma_1\) = 0.05 S/m, \(\sigma_2\) = 0.5 S/m and \(\sigma_3\) = 0.05 S/m. The thicknesses of the top two layers are both 64 m.

Secondary magnetic fields are simulated for x, y and z oriented magnetic dipole sources at (0,0,5). For each source, the x, y and z components of the response are simulated at (10,0,5).

UBC-GIF E3DRH v1 and v2 Package Details#

UBC-GIF has two coding packages capable of modeling 3D FEM data on OcTree meshes. These are:

UBC E3DRH v1: E3DRH v1 is a voxel cell FDEM forward modeling and inversion package developed by the UBC Geophysical Inversion Facility. This software is proprietary and can ONLY be acquired through appropriate commerical license. The numerical approach of the forward simulation is described in the online manual’s theory section. If you have a valid license, there are instructions for reproducing the results (add link).

UBC E3DRH v2: E3DRH v2 is a voxel cell FDEM forward modeling and inversion package developed by the UBC Geophysical Inversion Facility. This software is proprietary and can ONLY be acquired through appropriate commerical license. The numerical approach of the forward simulation is described in the online manual’s theory section. If you have a valid license, there are instructions for reproducing the results (add link).

Running the Forward Simulation#

Step 1: Acquiring a commercial or academic license.#

  • Explain and link to where you would get licenses. Make ABSOLUTELY CLEAR we don’t just give out the licenses willy-nilly.

Step 2: Downloading and extracting assets#

  • Link and instructions for download

Step 3: Running the forward modeling executable#

  • Brief description of what files are needed

  • Link to the manual page where we run the forward simulation
