Novel accurate and scalable 3-D MT forward solver based on a contracting integral equation method

摘要

We present a novel, open source 3-D MT forward solver based on a method of integral equations (IE) with contracting kernel. Special attention in the solver is paid to accurate calculations of Green's functions and their integrals which are cornerstones of any IE solution. The solver supports massive parallelization and is able to deal with highly detailed and contrasting models. We report results of a 3-D numerical experiment aimed at analyzing the accuracy and scalability of the code. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
