3-D numerical mode-matching (NMM) method for resistivity well-logging tools.

A three-dimensional (3-D) numerical mode-matching (NMM) method is presented for Poisson's equation in general inhomogeneons media. It reduces the original 3-D problem into a series of two-dimensional (2-D) eigenvalue problems plus a one-dimensional (1-D) layered medium problem, which can be mod...
