Un método para modelar anomalías de resistividad y polarización inducida mediante potenciales logarítmicos.
Main Article Content
Abstract
The problem of modeling two-dimensional resistivity and induced polarization anomalies is posed in the following terms: it is assumed that the function of the source is logarithmic, that the body has a polygonal shape, and that the contrast in resistivity is low. This way of posing the problem leads to simple numerical solutions, and allows the study of bodies with complex geometrical shapes. Because the anomalies are computed by integrating an analytic function, the number of points required to define the bodies is minimized. Results are included to demonstrate both the validity of the method and its flexibility to handle arbitrary shaped bodies.
