Geosteering is a key technique to increase oil- and gas-production rates, especially within a thin reservoir layer. The purpose of geosteering in the production zone is to keep the drilling path in oil- and gas-bearing reservoirs. To keep the drilling system inside the production zone, downhole sensors must be able to detect bed boundaries, which include identifying the boundary location with respect to the sensor and the boundary distance from the sensor. We have developed a directional resistivity logging-while-drilling (LWD) tool for geosteering applications. The directional LWD tool is equipped with a joint-coil antenna composed of an axially polarized coil Rz connected in series with two transversely polarized coils Rx. During a revolution around the axis of the tool, the voltage of the axial coil VRz, voltage of the transverse coils VRx, and tool face angle [Formula: see text], which indicates the boundary direction, can be extracted through curve fitting the total voltage response of the joint-coil antenna. The distance to the boundary can be derived from a 1D inversion. The LWD tool has been tested in several reservoirs in China, and it has a demonstrated capability to provide reliable and accurate estimations of the boundary direction and distance. Field data indicate that the boundary detection depth can reach 2.1 and 1.7 m when the tool is in a sand and shale formation. Using wireline-logging data from surrounding wells as reference, deviations between the reference and the measured distance to the boundary are within 0.2 m.

Abstract We obtained a version of Hardy-Rellich type inequality in a domain Ω ∈ ℝn which involves the distance to the boundary, the diameter and the volume of Ω. Weight functions in the inequalities depend on the “mean-distance” function and on the distance function to the boundary of Ω. The proved inequalities connect function to first and second order derivatives.

In this paper, we present geometric Hardy inequalities for the sub-Laplacian in half-spaces of stratified groups. As a consequence, we obtain the following geometric Hardy inequality in a half-space of the Heisenberg group with a sharp constant: [Formula: see text] which solves a conjecture in the paper [S. Larson, Geometric Hardy inequalities for the sub-elliptic Laplacian on convex domain in the Heisenberg group, Bull. Math. Sci. 6 (2016) 335–352]. Here, [Formula: see text] is the angle function. Also, we obtain a version of the Hardy–Sobolev inequality in a half-space of the Heisenberg group: [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is the Euclidean distance to the boundary, [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]. For [Formula: see text], this gives the Hardy–Sobolev–Maz’ya inequality on the Heisenberg group.

The effects of the flow of an electrically conducting fluid upon a magnetic field anchored at the boundary of a domain are studied. By taking the resistivity as a small parameter, the first-order approximation of an asymptotic analysis yields a boundary layer for the magnetic potential. This layer is analysed both in general and in three particular cases, showing that while in general its effects decrease exponentially with the distance to the boundary, several additional effects are highly relevant.

AbstractLet Ω be a bounded, decoupled pseudo-convex domain of finite type in ℂn with smooth boundary. In this paper, we generalize results of Bonami-Grellier [BG] and Bonami-Chang-Grellier [BCG] to study weighted Bergman projections for weights which are a power of the distance to the boundary. We define a class of operators of Bergman type for which we develop a functional calculus. Then we may obtain Sobolev and Lipschitz estimates, both of isotropic and anisotropic type, for these projections.

The Waldmann-Vestner theory for boundary layer effects in polyatomic gases in the nearhydrodynamic regime predicts that in a rarefield heat conducting gas the boundary layers will be birefringent due to the presence of second rank angular momentum polarization. An experiment has been set up in order to measure the birefringence as a function of the distance to the boundary. However, no effect could be detected for N2 and C02 within the sensitivity of the experiment. This corresponds to an upper limit for the birefringence, which is a factor 6 smaller than expected. These results are in contrast to the qualitative data reported earlier in the literature; no conclusions can be drawn, however, about the validity of the Waldmann-Vestner theory.

Abstract Field observations of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE), dissipation rate ɛ, and turbulent length scale demonstrate the impact of both density stratification and nonlocal turbulent production on turbulent momentum flux. The data were collected in a highly stratified salt wedge estuary using the Mobile Array for Sensing Turbulence (MAST). Estimates of the dominant length scale of turbulent motions obtained from the vertical velocity spectra provide field confirmation of the theoretical limitation imposed by either the distance to the boundary or the Ozmidov scale, whichever is smaller. Under boundary-limited conditions, anisotropy generally increases with increasing shear and decreased distance to the boundary. Under Ozmidov-limited conditions, anisotropy increases rapidly when the gradient Richardson number exceeds 0.25. Both boundary-limited and Ozmidov-limited conditions demonstrate significant deviations from a local production–dissipation balance that are largely consistent with simple scaling relationships for the vertical divergence in TKE flux. Both the impact of stratification and deviation from equilibrium turbulence observed in the data are largely consistent with commonly used turbulence closure models that employ “nonequilibrium” stability functions. The data compare most favorably with the nonequilibrium version of the L. H. Kantha and C. A. Clayson stability functions. Not only is this approach more consistent with the observed critical gradient Richardson number of 0.25, but it also accounts for the large deviations from equilibrium turbulence in a manner consistent with the observations.

This paper deals with the linear response of a plasma in a one-dimensional bounded geometry under the action of a time-periodic electric field. The nonlinear Vlasov equation is solved by following the characteristic curves until they reach the boundary of the domain, where the distribution function of the incoming particles is supposed to be known and independent of time. Then, a first-order Taylor expansion in the velocity variable is performed, thanks to an approximation of the exact characteristics by the unperturbed ones. The resulting first-order correction to the distribution function is finally integrated over velocities to yield the dielectric function. The special case of a plane wave for the electric field is examined and the results are compared with the more usual unbounded case: the integral does not present any singularity in the vicinity of resonant particles and the dielectric function depends on the distance to the boundary and tends to the usual infinite-geometry value when this distance tends to infinity, with a rate of convergence proportional to its inverse square root. Numerical examples are provided for illustration.

If Ω ⊂ ℝn is a bounded domain, the existence of solutions [Formula: see text] of div u = f for f ∈ L2(Ω) with vanishing mean value, is a basic result in the analysis of the Stokes equations. In particular, it allows to show the existence of a solution [Formula: see text], where u is the velocity and p the pressure. It is known that the above-mentioned result holds when Ω is a Lipschitz domain and that it is not valid for arbitrary Hölder-α domains. In this paper we prove that if Ω is a planar simply connected Hölder-α domain, there exist solutions of div u = f in appropriate weighted Sobolev spaces, where the weights are powers of the distance to the boundary. Moreover, we show that the powers of the distance in the results obtained are optimal. For some particular domains with an external cusp, we apply our results to show the well-posedness of the Stokes equations in appropriate weighted Sobolev spaces obtaining as a consequence the existence of a solution [Formula: see text] for some r < 2 depending on the power of the cusp.
