Foil 8 Basic Computational Structure - II

From Master Set of Foils for GEM Computational Science Presentation GEM Workshop Santa Fe -- October 24-25 1997. 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
