Visualizations
This is a collect of SCEC Ground Motion simulation visualizations.
Ground Motion Simulation 4D Dataset
SCEC worked with IEEE animation group in 2006 to provide and define a 4D (x,y,z,t) earthquake simulation dataset that could be used in an IEEE visualization contest. The SCEC IEED visualization Data Set (4D dataset) (2006) is posted online. The web pages contain descriptions of the data, and links to where the data can be downloaded.
Example Ground Motion Animations
This map view animations shows the M8 rupture propagation south on the San Andreas Fault in southern California using Ely style color-scales. Based on the file-metadata these ground motions are based on the y-component of motion. (Amit Chourasia, Geoff Ely, et al 2010)
Ground motion simulation for State-wide California Earthquake using paraview. (Scott Callaghan et all 2016)
Rupture simulation showing Plastic Yielding (Dan Roten et al 2015)
Fault and wave propagation animation comparing waves from smooth fault and velocity model to waves from rough fault and velocity model with small scale heterogeneities. (Kim Olsen et al 2014)
The M8 animations that follows the rupture from central California to Mexico, showing velocity magnitude as height field. (Amit Chourasia et al 2010)
Comparison showing rupture on fault surface from a dynamic rupture simulation and from a kinematic simulation. Shows only the fault surface and not the ground motion values.
Comparison showing difference in ground motions produced by North to South, South to North, and Bi-lateral San Andreas ruptures (Kim Olsen et al 2009)
