Numerical Modelling of Earthquake Ground Motion

Explore advanced techniques for numerical modeling of earthquake ground motion in this comprehensive webinar from the SIAM Geosciences series. Delve into the challenges of geophysical applications, including complex physical domains, heterogeneous media, and diverse physical models. Discover how high-order discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Methods (FEM) can effectively address these challenges through flexible geometry representation and accurate solution approximation. Examine recent developments in high-order DG methods on polygonal and polyhedral grids for modeling seismic wave propagation. Analyze the stability and theoretical properties of these schemes, and witness their application to real large-scale seismic events in three-dimensional complex media. Gain valuable insights from speaker Paola Antonietti of Politecnico di Milano on cutting-edge approaches to simulating earthquake phenomena and their potential impact on geophysical research and applications.
