HighF 2018

This page documents the High-F activities and decisions for the 2018 verification and validation runs for three groups: Olsen et al. (AWP), Graves (RWG) and Taborda et al. (Hercules).

Mesh generation rules and parameter constraints

Velocities (fixing the CVM for meshing purposes)

• 1. Set Min Vs=500 m/s
• 2. If Vs was lower than 500 m/s and adjusted, then adjust Vp with original Vp/Vs ratio (so that we don’t have the automatic Vs/Vp of 3). We may want to set a minimum value of Vp (Rob to check)
• 3. Then set Max Vp/Vs= 3, if lower Vp to maintain the max of 3 ratio

Lame parameters

• mu and lambda (fixing the CVM for meshing purposes)
• Rob to check if raw model produces lambda of <=zero.
• Note: lambda of zero corresponds to Vp/Vs= sqrt(2)=1.45
• Note: typical Vp speeds are 330 m/s in air, 1450 m/s in water and about 5000 m/s in granite

Anelastic attenuation (Q)

Frequency-independent Q definition

• Qs=100*Vs(km/s)
• Qp=2*Qs

Upper frequency

• 5Hz: based on 500 m/s and 20 m spacing
• Kim and Rob have been low-pass filtering the slip function at 5 Hz
• Ricardo and Naeem don’t filter the source
