چکیده
We present results of thorough benchmarking of an arbitrary high-order derivative discontinuous Galerkin (ADER-DG) method on unstructured meshes for advanced earthquake dynamic rupture problems. We verify the method by comparison to well-established numerical methods in a series of verification exercises, including dipping and branching fault geometries, heterogeneous initial conditions, bimaterial interfaces and several rate-and-state friction laws. We show that the combination of meshing flexibility and high-order accuracy of the ADER-DG method makes it a competitive tool to study earthquake dynamics in geometrically complicated setups.

Dynamic rupture modeling on unstructured meshes using a discontinuous Galerkin method
[1] We introduce the application of an arbitrary high-order derivative (ADER) discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method to simulate earthquake rupture dynamics. The ADER-DG method uses triangles as computational cells which simplifies the process of discretization of very complex surfaces and volumes by using external automated tools. Discontinuous Galerkin methods are well suited for solving dynamic ...

متن کاملADER Schemes on Adaptive Triangular Meshes for Scalar Conservation Laws
ADER schemes are recent finite volume methods for hyperbolic conservation laws, which can be viewed as generalizations of the classical first order Godunov method to arbitrary high orders. In the ADER approach, high order polynomial reconstruction from cell averages is combined with high order flux evaluation, where the latter is done by solving generalized Riemann problems across cell interfac...
متن کاملA Nitsche-extended finite element method for earthquake rupture on complex fault systems
The extended finite element method (XFEM) provides a natural way to incorporate strong and weak discontinuities into discretizations. It alleviates the need to mesh discontinuities, allowing simulation meshes to be nearly independent of discontinuity geometry. Currently, both quasistatic deformation and dynamic earthquake rupture simulations under standard FEM are limited to simplified fault ne...
