Spectral induced polarization (SIP) is a non-intrusive geophysical method that is widely used to detect sulfide minerals, clay minerals, metallic objects, municipal wastes, hydrocarbons, and salinity intrusion. However, SIP is a static method that cannot measure the dynamics of flow and solute/species transport in the subsurface. To capture these dynamics, the data collected with the SIP technique needs to be coupled with fluid flow and reactive-transport models. To our knowledge, currently, there is no simulator in the open-source literature that couples fluid flow, solute transport, and SIP process models to analyze geoelectrical signatures in a large-scale system. A massively parallel simulation framework (PFLOTRAN-SIP) was built to couple SIP data to fluid flow and solute transport processes. This framework built on the PFLOTRAN-E4D simulator that couples PFLOTRAN and E4D, without sacrificing computational performance. PFLOTRAN solves the coupled flow and solute transport process models to estimate solute concentrations, which were used in Archies model to compute bulk electrical conductivities at near-zero frequency. These bulk electrical conductivities were modified using the Cole-Cole model to account for frequency dependence. Using the estimated frequency-dependent bulk conductivities, E4D simulated the real and complex electrical potential signals for selected frequencies for SIP. The PFLOTRAN-SIP framework was demonstrated through a synthetic tracer-transport model simulating tracer concentration and electrical impedances for four frequencies. Later, SIP inversion estimated bulk electrical conductivities by matching electrical impedances for each specified frequency. The estimated bulk electrical conductivities were consistent with the simulated tracer concentrations from the PFLOTRAN-SIP forward model.
In this work, we consider alternative discretizations for PDEs which use expansions involving integral operators to approximate spatial derivatives. These constructions use explicit information within the integral terms, but treat boundary data impli
We present an arbitrary-order spectral element method for general-purpose simulation of non-overturning water waves, described by fully nonlinear potential theory. The method can be viewed as a high-order extension of the classical finite element met
Computing plays an essential role in all aspects of high energy physics. As computational technology evolves rapidly in new directions, and data throughput and volume continue to follow a steep trend-line, it is important for the HEP community to dev
In Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), the internal conductivity of a body is recovered via current and voltage measurements taken at its surface. The reconstruction task is a highly ill-posed nonlinear inverse problem, which is very sensitive to
