Different from a sphere case, which is a finite target, the resistive layer will also impact the illumination of the target (conductor or resistor). # By investigating changes in currents, electric fields, potential, and charges upon different geometry, Tx and Rx location, we understand geometric effects of the resistive layer for DCR survey. # # Setup # # # Question # # - How does the cylinder affect the apparent resistivity without the resistive layer? # - How does the resistive layer affect the apparent resistivity? Is there a difference if you add or remove the cylinder target? # ## Plate model # - **survey**: Type of survey # - **A**: Electrode A (+) location # - **B**: Electrode B (-) location # - **M**: Electrode A (+) location # - **N**: Electrode B (-) location # - **$dz_{layer}$**: thickness of the resistive layer # - **$zc_{ayer}$**: z location of the resistive layer # - **xc**: x location of cylinder center # - **zc**: z location of cylinder center # - **$\rho_{1}$**: Resistivity of the half-space # - **$\rho_{2}$**: Resistivity of the layer # - **$\rho_{3}$**: Resistivity of the cylinder # - **Field**: Field to visualize # - **Type**: which part of the field # - **Scale**: Linear or Log Scale visualization # # ### **Do not forget to hit Run Interact to update the figure after you made modifications** # In[ ]: ResLayer_app() # In[ ]:
