High-order finite difference methods are efficient, easy to program, scale well in multiple
dimensions and can be modified locally for various reasons (such as shock treatment for …

This paper shows that the discontinuous Galerkin collocation spectral element method with
Gauss--Lobatto points (DGSEM-GL) satisfies the discrete summation-by-parts (SBP) …

Among all the numerical methods in seismology, the finite-difference (FD) technique
provides the best balance of accuracy and computational efficiency. This book offers a …

This article reviews tsunami modeling and its relation to recent developments of deep-ocean
observations. Unlike near-coast observations, deep-ocean observations have enabled the …

The majority of crustal faults host earthquakes when the ratio of average background shear
stress τb to effective normal stress σeff is τb/σeff≈ 0.6. In contrast, mature plate‐boundary …

There is strong evidence that the 11 March 2011 Tohoku earthquake rupture reached the
seafloor. This is surprising because the shallow portion of the plate interface in subduction …

Field investigations suggest that supershear earthquakes occur on geometrically simple,
smooth fault segments. In contrast, dynamic rupture simulations show how heterogeneity of …

In this study, we present a new method for simulating the 3-D dynamic rupture process
occurring on a non-planar fault. The method is based on the curved-grid finite-difference …

It is widely recognized that fluid injection can trigger aseismic fault slip. However, the
processes by which the fluid‐rock interactions facilitate or inhibit slip are poorly understood …

Numerical simulation of rupture dynamics provides critical insights for understanding
earthquake physics, while the complex geometry and heterogeneous material properties of …
