a new method derived by salem et al. (2004) for interpretation of gravity and magnetic anomalies is used to determine the depth and shape factor of the gravity anomalies. the depth and shape factor of some rectangular prisms as synthetic models are estimated using the method. the gravity effects of the models are contaminated with some random noise and then the parameters of the models are extr...

We study low-speed flows of a highly compressible, single-phase fluid in the presence of gravity, for example, in a regime appropriate for modeling recent spaceshuttle experiments on fluids near the liquid-vapor critical point. In the equations of motion, we include forces due to capillary stresses that arise from a contribution made by strong density gradients to the free energy. We derive for...

In this paper, modular neural network (MNN) inversion has been applied for the parameters approximation of the gravity anomaly causative target. The trained neural network is used for estimating the amplitude coefficient and depths to the top and bottom of a finite vertical cylinder source. The results of the applied neural network method are compared with the results of the least-squares stand...

Estimating the gravity anomaly causative bodies boundary can facilitate the gravity field interpretation. In this paper, 2D discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is employed as a method to delineate the boundary of the gravity anomaly sources. Hence, the GRACE’ satellite gravity data is decomposed using DWT. DWT decomposites a single approximation coefficients into four distinct components: the appr...

Simultaneous capillary dominated displacement of the wetting and non-wetting phases are processes of interest in many disciplines including modeling of the penetration of polluting liquids in hydrology or the secondary migration in petroleum reservoir engineering. Percolation models and in particular invasion percolation is well suited to characterize the slow immiscible displaceme...

the experimental study and modeling of gravity drainage during water alternative gas injection, wag process, in carbonate rock for one of the iranian off-shore reservoir at lab-scale were carried out. the mechanism of gravity drainage during the wag process, and its contribution to the oil recovery in the fractured carbonate reservoirs were also studied. in the wag process alternatively gas is ...

We present a model that resolves the gravity field of Mars down to km-scales: Mars Gravity Model 2011 (MGM2011). MGM2011 uses Newtonian forward-modelling and the MOLA (Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter) topography model to estimate the short-scale gravity field (scales of ~3 km to ~125 km). Combined with a reference gravity field and the satellitetracking model MRO110B2, MGM2011 provides surface gra...

Introduction: Surface gravity surveying is a well developed terrestrial geophysical technique, used to detect subsurface density variations, which in turn can reveal subsurface geologic features. Here we perform a feasibility study to determine what major science questions can be answered by a rover-mounted, highly compact gravimeter and gravity gradiometer being designed by Gedex Inc.; a Toron...

one of the most valuable and important application of artificial satellites in geodetic sciences is recovery of the earth's gravity field. orbits of satellites either gravimetric or nongravimetric are analyzed to improve the earth's gravity field. gravimetric satellites are launched at low altitudes to observe gravity field in more detail. grace twin satellites are the second spacecra...
