A perturbation expansion approach to solving the electromagnetic induction problem in three dimensions.
Abstract
We address the electromagnetic induction problem for fully 3D geologic media and present a solution to the governing Maxwell equations based on a power series expansion. The coefficients in the series are computed using the adjoint method assuming an underlying homogeneous reference model. These solutions are available analytically for point dipole source terms and lead to rapid calculation of the expansion coefficients. First order solutions are presented for a model study in petroleum geophysics composed of a multi-component induction sonde proximal to a fault within a compartmentalized hydrocarbon reservoir.

An investigation of a novel approach to elemental imaging in three dimensions
Feasibility of a radically different method of using X-ray excited X-ray fluorescence to perform two- and three-dimensional elemental imaging at the micrometer size scale was examined. The proposed new approach was investigated using both laboratory and synchrotron X-ray sources. The project was funded as a high-risk venture by the Laboratory Directed Research & Development (LDRD) program at Sandia National Laboratories. Investigations centered around the use of two different types of monochromators and a CCD detector to allow the imaging of characteristic excited X-radiation in two dimensions, one element at a time. The goal of this approach was to be ablemore »
