P. Masse et J. Berthier, 3-DIMENSIONAL FINITE-ELEMENT MODELING OF STREAMING POTENTIAL AND ASSOCIATED MAGNETIC-FIELD IN POROUS-MEDIA, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 32(3), 1996, pp. 994-997
Electro-magnetic modeling of electrofiltration phenomena requires coup
led modeling of fluid flow, electric (streaming) potential and magneti
c field. We present here a finite element method for solving 3-dimensi
onal problems in anisotropic porous media based on the code Fux-Expert
. Numerical results are given for the case of water flowing at a const
ant rate through a window in the wall of a borehole drilled into sands
tone. Two cases of anisotropy are examined: a horizontal plane and a 4
5 degree inclined plane.
