Singularities in the EM fields are addressed. The hybrid method is also applied to simulateĬontrolled-source EM data in the frame of both total-field and primary-secondary fieldĪpproaches, in which the problems in dealing with singular source functions that cause discontinuous electric fields across the conductivityĬontrasts, is achieved by proposing a hybrid meshfree scheme which is a modification Faithful reproduction of the physics in the EM fields, e.g. Three benchmark conductivity models from the literature. The meshfree method is then applied toįorward model magnetotelluric data of which the effectiveness is demonstrated using TheĬomputational efficiency of the meshfree method is compared with that of using a The convergence and accuracy of the proposed RBF-FD method areĭemonstrated first via forward modelling gravity and gravity gradient data. The computation isįurther accelerated by introducing a new type of radial basis function in the RBFFD Used in the computation for the first time for EM problems. To improve numerical efficiency, unstructured point sets are Using only a set of unconnected points, effectively overcoming the issues related to In the meshfree method, the physical model is represented Radial basis function-based finite difference (RBF-FD), a meshfree method, in forward In this thesis I investigate the feasibility and applicability of So for EM inversion computations in which the forward modelling may be
