This paper introduces a new spontaneous potential log model for the case in which formation resistivity is not piecewise constant. The spontaneous potential satisfies an elliptic boundary value problem with jump conditions on the interfaces. It has been shown that the elliptic interface problem has a unique weak solution. Furthermore, a jump condition capturing finite difference scheme is proposed and applied to solve such elliptic problems. Numerical results show validity and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Abstract
The application of the wavelet method to vortex motion prediction is investigated. First, the wavelet method is used to solve two initial boundary problems so as to verify its abilities of controlling numerical errors and capturing local structures. Then, the adaptive wavelet method is used to simulate the vortex emerging process. The results show that the wavelet method can control numerical errors easily, can capture local structures adaptively, and can predict the vortex fluctuation evolution. Therefore, the application of the wavelet method to turbulence is suggested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
