Forward Computation

A method has been devised for the forward computation of magnetic anomalies due to two‐dimensional (2-D) polygonal bodies with heterogeneously directed magnetization. The calculations are based on the equivalent line source approach wherein the source is subdivided into discrete elements that vary spatially in their magnetic properties. This equivalent dipole line method provides a fast and convenient means of representing and computing magnetic anomalies for bodies possessing complexly varying magnitude and direction of magnetization. The algorithm has been tested and applied to several generalized cases to verify the accuracy of the computation. The technique has also been used to model observed aeromagnetic anomalies associated with the structurally deformed, remanently magnetized Keweenawan volcanic rocks in eastern Lake Superior. This method is also easily adapted to the calculation of anomalies due to two and one‐half‐dimensional (2.5-D) and three‐dimensional (3-D) heterogeneously magnetized sources.

A computational method, which combines the Gaussian quadrature formula for numerical integration and a cubic spline for interpolation in evaluating the limits of integration, is employed to compute directly the gravity and magnetic anomalies caused by 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional bodies of arbitrary shape and arbitrary magnetic polarization. The mathematics involved in this method is indeed old and well known. Furthermore, the physical concept of the Gaussian quadrature integration leads us back to the old concept of equivalent point masses or equivalent magnetic point dipoles: namely, the gravity or magnetic anomaly due to a body can be evaluated simply by a number of equivalent points which are distributed in the “Gaussian way” within the body. As an illustration, explicit formulas are given for dikes and prisms using 2 × 2 and 2 × 2 × 2 point Gaussian quadrature formulas. The basic limitation in the equivalent‐point method is that the distance between the point of observation and the equivalent points must be larger than the distance between the equivalent points within the body. By using a reasonable number of equivalent points or dividing the body into a number of smaller subbodies, the method might provide a useful alternative for computing in gravity and magnetic methods. The use of a simplified cubic spline enables us to compute the gravity and magnetic anomalies due to bodies of arbitrary shape and arbitrary magnetic polarization with ease and a certain degree of accuracy. This method also appears to be quite attractive for terrain corrections in gravity and possibly in magnetic surveys.

Abstract The objects of this paper are, first, to describe an electrical method of determining the flow pattern for the flow of an incompressible ideal fluid through a two-dimensional centrifugal impeller, and second, to present the results obtained for a particular impeller. The method can be and has been applied to impellers with blades of arbitrary shape, as distinguished from analytical methods which can be applied directly only to blades of special shape (1).

Magnetic anomalies in vertical and horizontal components, when plotted one against the other in polar form, result in a curve called the relation figure (Werner, 1953). In this paper, a comparative study of the relation figures of magnetic anomalies due to two‐dimensional (2-D) dike and vertical step models is made. The relation figures for these two models are found to be ellipses with different properties. The tangent at the origin to the ellipse is parallel to the major axis of the ellipse for the dike model, whereas it is perpendicular to the major axis for the vertical step. This property may be used to distinguish whether the source is a dike or a vertical step. For both of the models, the angle made by the axis of symmetry of the ellipse with the coordinate axis is equal to θ, the combined magnetic angle. The ratio between the lengths of the major and minor axes of the ellipse is directly related to the width‐to‐depth ratio of the dike or the bottom‐to‐top depth ratio of the vertical step. A few characteristic points defined on the ellipse are used to evaluate the body parameters. The major portion of the ellipse is obtained in the close vicinity of the source. Because of symmetry, the ellipse may be extrapolated easily outside the data length, and hence the effect of noise caused by adjacent objects is kept at a minimum.

AbstractThe travelling wave instability in a channel with small-amplitude longitudinal grooves of arbitrary shape has been studied. The disturbance velocity field is always three-dimensional with disturbances which connect to the two-dimensional waves in the limit of zero groove amplitude playing the critical role. The presence of grooves destabilizes the flow if the groove wavenumber $\def \xmlpi #1{}\def \mathsfbi #1{\boldsymbol {\mathsf {#1}}}\let \le =\leqslant \let \leq =\leqslant \let \ge =\geqslant \let \geq =\geqslant \def \Pr {\mathit {Pr}}\def \Fr {\mathit {Fr}}\def \Rey {\mathit {Re}}\beta $ is larger than $\beta _{tran}\approx 4.22$, but stabilizes the flow for smaller $\beta $. It has been found that $\beta _{tran}$ does not depend on the groove amplitude. The dependence of the critical Reynolds number on the groove amplitude and wavenumber has been determined. Special attention has been paid to the drag-reducing long-wavelength grooves, including the optimal grooves. It has been demonstrated that such grooves slightly increase the critical Reynolds number, i.e. such grooves do not cause an early breakdown into turbulence.

Normal Magnetic Field

On page 748 of the above named paper, Affleck (1958) mentions an interesting behavior of magnetic anomalies which are caused by homogeneous magnetized two‐dimensional bodies. He states that in these cases the airborne magnetometer anomaly can be treated as either the vertical or horizontal component anomaly if the true magnetization is replaced by a pseudo‐magnetization of other direction and intensity. It may be of some interest to formulate this behavior more precisely, so much the more as the interdependence between the magnetization directions and the direction of a normal magnetic field can be expressed by a rather simple formula.
