Forward Modelling for Electro-Kinetic Effects

P031 FORWARD MODELLING FOR ELECTRO-KINETIC EFFECTS ANTONIO RANADA SHAW DENNIS VAN DER BURG ARTHUR DENNEMAN and KEES WAPENAAR Section of Applied Geophysics Centre for Technical Geoscience Delft University of Technology The Netherlands Introduction The electrokinetic effect represents a group of processes in which there is a conversion from electromagnetic to kinetic energy and vice versa. In the case of this transfer taking place in a porous medium we name the effects electro-osmotic for the transfer from electromagnetic to kinetic energy and seismo-electric for the transfer from kinetic to electromagnetic energy. There exist other effects also called electro-kinetic like the piezo-electric
