The invention discloses a lateral
logging forward modeling
simulation method and
system based on finite element and
infinite element coupling, and relates to the technical field of geophysical
logging, the method comprises the following steps: establishing a two-dimensional lateral
logging forward modeling model corresponding to an axisymmetric anisotropic stratum, carrying out grid division, and carrying out finite element calculation outside a finite element calculation area of the two-dimensional lateral logging forward modeling model; arranging a mapping
infinite element as a boundary unit; calculating a total
stiffness matrix; according to the total
stiffness matrix, applying an
equipotential boundary condition to each
metal electrode of the logging instrument on a node in the two-dimensional lateral logging forward modeling model; and solving the two-dimensional lateral logging forward model after the
equipotential boundary condition is applied to obtain each sub-field which is sequentially and independently emitted by each emission
electrode, and synthesizing and focusing all the sub-fields to obtain lateral logging response. According to the method, the mapping
infinite element is adopted as the boundary unit, the boundary unit is coupled with the finite element calculation area, and forward modeling of lateral logging can be rapidly and accurately achieved.
