3D electrical resistivity forward modeling using the Kirchhoff's method for solving an equivalent resistor network

Experiments with various physical models and numerical models show the similarity of the method with traditional resistivity modeling. Comparing the result of this approach with other methods shows better sensitivity away from edges. Furthermore, a parallel programming technique is used to improve the processing time. Flexibility and extensibility to build any resistivity model make this approach a powerful modeling tool in 2D and 3D electrical resistivity forward modeling.
