Foil 9 Basic Computational Structure - II

From Earthquake Prediction as Example of N Body Computations CPS615 INtroduction to Computational Science -- Fall Semester 1998. by Geoffrey C. Fox
The Green's Function is in first approximation independent of time and time only enters through time dependence of slip deficit
We are evolving a set of N differential equations -- think of each fault segment "i"as a particle -and can do this either as either
  • deterministic "particle" dynamics
  • Monte Carlo
These are two standard choices in "ordinary" particle dynamics
After each time/Monte Carlo step one needs to see if a slip will occur using friction law
