EMOD2D - a program in C++ for finite difference modelling of magnetotelluric TM mode responses over 2D earth

摘要

A program, EMOD2D, in C+ +, is developed to compute the apparent resistivities of two-dimensional geological structures for magnetotelluric (MT) H-polarization case, using finite difference technique. Five C+ + classes with member functions are designed to compute apparent resistivitiy values. The program utilizes object oriented programming features such as multiple inheritance, encapsulation to allow the user to easily deploy and modify the given classes. This program has been used to study the responses of various ore deposit models. This modelling study is relevant to: (i) search for mineral deposits underlying conductive or resistive overburden, (ii) understand the response pattern for the ore body with different depths and conductivities, and (iii) study the response pattern for the ore body when it is in contact and without contact with the overburden. The program is compiled on Borland C + +. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
