Goal
Most regional scale deterministic earthquake simulation verification and validation exercises have been done at frequencies 1Hz or lower [1] [2]. With the introduction of high performance CPU and CPU-GPU wave propagation codes, there has been significant recent progress running simulations up to 4Hz. As we increase the capabilities of our deterministic earthquake simulation codes, we need to re-evaluate the codes performance at these higher frequencies that are now possible. The goal of this activity is to evaluate the performance of multiple wave propagation codes that are capable of simulation regional scale earthquakes at frequencies 4Hz+.
Approach
High frequency simulations introduce several code modifications intended to more accurately model the physics of high frequency earthquake wave propagation simulations. Modification to existing wave propagation codes to support 1Hz+ simulations include:
- Source descriptions with energy above 1Hz
- Small scale heterogeneities in the 3D velocity models
- Frequency dependent attenuation
- Near fault plastic yielding
- Large displacement plastic yielding
To help isolate the impact of each of these changes, we propose to start with simple (possibly unrealistic) high frequency (4Hz) ground motion simulations and compare the simulation results produced by different methods. Then we will introduce these modifications one at a time, as a way if isolating the impact of each change individually.
Problem Statement
We have defined common input parameters for use by both AWP-ODC, and Hercules. The problem statements includes the following parameters:
- Simulation Region
- Station Lists
- Velocity Model
- Source Description
- Simulation Duration
