  • Method for determining a karstic region
    Patent number: 10101497
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining a karstic region modified by karstification phenomena. This method comprises, from a geological model, determining a seed cell and a target cell in that model. If a distance between the seed cell and the target cell is above a given distance, it is possible to update the seed cell with a bifurcation cell based at least on the coordinates of the seed cell, the coordinates of the target cell, a distance distribution, an angular distribution, and to re-iterate the test. Based on that bifurcation cells, trajectory is computed and cells of that trajectory is updated with new cell characteristics.
