Seismic wave Propagation and Imaging in Complex media: a European network • PETER FRANEK • Early Stage Researcher • Host Institution: Charles University Prague • Place of Origin: Bratislava, Slovakia • Appointment Time: December 2005 • Project: Numerical Benchmark of 3D Ground Motion Simulation in the Valley of Grenoble, French Alps (Point Source) • Task Groups: TG Local Scale, Numerical Methods • Cooperation: CU Prague, LGIT Grenoble, ITSAK Thessaloniki, Aristotle University Thessaloniki
Grenoble - prediction with point source Input: Structural modelandbasic properties of the point source(position, focal mechanism,seismic moment)Task: ground motions inside and outside of the Grenoble Valley 3D finite-difference (FD) method: • staggered-grid displacement-velocity-stress scheme • 4th-order in space, 2nd-order in time • Adjusted FD Approximation technique (Kristek et al. 2002) • Rheology of Generalized Maxwell Body (Kristek and Mozco 2003)
N Computational FD model: • grid spacing in finer grid: 30.0 m • grid spacing in coarser grid: 90.0 m • time step: 0.002 s • frequency range: 0.2 – 1.6 Hz
N Results vertical component of particle velocity Outlook • to enlarge the frequency rangeof the wavefield obtained by FDby parallelizing the computational code • to prescribe several scenariosfor stochastic source models
