Document better loops #232

@prisae

Description

@prisae

Any kind of loops (including central loops as a special case) are possible in empymod, but not trivial, and I get a lot of questions. Hence, it should be better documented.

Note: The loop function only converts a magnetic dipole measuring the magnetic field H [A/m] (theoretical, there are no magnetic dipole equipments) to a magnetic coil measuring the magnetic flux B [T].

There are examples of it:

For a central loop one needs to use bipole or dipole, loop does not work as source and receiver would be at the same location.

TODOs:

  • Change in the above Ward and Hohmann example area/(radius/2) to circumference; it is confusing as it is now. Clarify Ward and Hohmann circular loop #233
  • Create specifically a central loop example.
    • Simplest case: symmetric central loop
    • Square central loop
    • Central square loop within bigger square loop
    • Loop where the receiver is in an arbitrary place
    • Arbitrarily shaped loop
    • ...
    • Also document dipole H, coil B, and in time domain dB/dt
  • Bring a TEMfast example from @aignerlukas, https://github.com/aignerlukas/TEMIP_sensitivity
  • Maybe create a central loop function in empymod.model, as it is often requested.
