Abstract

The article considers the results of mathematical modeling of transient electromagnetic cross-borehole monitoring data for civil and industrial cryolithozone facilities containing thaw zones (taliks) in their vicinity. A solution to the direct problem is presented based on the Sumudu integral transform and the vector finite-element method for two types of borehole sources: induction coils and a less common electric current line, taking into account the frequency dispersion of the electrical conductivity of permafrost. Three-dimensional numerical modeling of the transient signals is performed in realistic geoelectric models of a gas-producing borehole and a residential building on piles. Based on the modeling results, we have revealed the main features and differences of transient cross-borehole monitoring with coils or a line as the source.
