3-D modeling of gravity gradient using hexahedral elements


Abstract
A new program to calculate 3-D gravity anomaly and gravity gradient was developed in order to evaluate observed gravity data qualitatively. This program is based on the gravity anomaly caused by hexahedral shaped anomalous body. Both gravity anomaly and gravity gradient of arbitrarily shaped body can be calculated by using this new program. Some examples of numerical simulation are shown in this paper.
