title: Stray field measurements of flow displacement distributions without pulsed field gradients.
abstract: The probability distribution P(zeta) of diffusive and advective molecular displacements is determined using a fixed field gradient (FFG) pulse sequence, on fluid flow through a Bentheimer sandstone, in the grossly inhomogeneous stray field of a super-conducting magnet. Two decades of q-space are scanned with stimulated echoes, using the gradient of the stray field and variable encoding times delta. The strength of the gradient permits the use of short encoding times, which is desirable for limiting the distorting effects produced by flow displacements through susceptibility induced field inhomogeneities. CPMG and CP echo trains are used to refocus separately the real and imaginary parts of the stimulated echo, for experimental efficiency.
