Theoretical Modeling of Dielectric Properties of Artificial Shales

Figure 3

Simulated relative permittivity and conductivity of the hypothetical sample in the directions when the applied electric field is perpendicular ( and , resp.) and parallel ( and , resp.) to the bedding, respectively. The lines with varying colors are for the quartz grains with different mixing orders, where 0, 30, and 90 stand for the quartz oriented 0°, 30°, and 90° to the bedding, respectively.
