Electric field modeling in arbitrary anisotropic layered media using the set of Fast Hankel Transformations of integer orders

Abstract

The technique for computation of the electric potential in an arbitrary anisotropic multilayered medium produced by point source is proposed. The solution is presented as the set of Hankel Transformations of integer orders and based on the analytical recurrent equations obtained for the potential spectrum. For the potential conversion in the space domain, we applied the algorithm of the Fast Hankel Transform in logarithmically spaced points that provided high accuracy and velocity in the modeling. The results of the apparent resistivity calculation for the traditional and tensor array above a three layered anisotropic model are presented.
