We have improved the integral equation method for modeling 3D electromagnetic fields by using the separability of its inherent [Formula: see text] dyadic Green’s tensors. Conventional integral equation approaches exhibit a quadratic dependence on model size, at least for the vertical dimension. In contrast, our approach has a linear dependence on all three dimensions. We tested our method on an example of induction logging in deviated boreholes.

AbstractThe essential aspects of the Boundary Integral Equation Method for the numerical solution of elliptic type boundary value problems are presented. A numerical example for a stress concentration problem in classical elasticity in three dimensions is given along with several examples for a class of scalar problems in elastic torsion of non-cylindrical bars. Some discussion and criticism of the method itself and in comparison with widely used field methods is also presented.
