1 Introduction

Partial differential equations (PDEs) are widely used inmathematics physics and other fields However in practicalengineering it is difficult to obtain the corresponding an-alytical results Hence a number of numerical methods havebeen developed for computational modeling of elastic wavepropagation For example finite-difference methods(FDMs) [1ndash3] finite element methods (FEM) [4 5] spectralelement methods (SEM) [6] boundary element methods(BEM) [7ndash9] finite volume methods (FVM) [10] andpseudospectral methods [11 12] However each method hasits own merits and drawbacks

FDMs are commonly used and extremely efficient forwave propagation in seismic engineering applications due totheir efficiency and ability to simulate complex layeredmedia among others However it is difficult to managecomplex geometries particularly when using a staggeredgrid method [13] An additional problem of this method is

that it is unsatisfactory when simulating cracked mediaGenerally when the traditional FDM is used the method tosimulate the crack is to fill the crack with a low velocitymedium such as water Meanwhile grids close to a lowvelocity mediummust be refined for stability which requiresa high volume of calculations and difficult automaticmodeling Additionally selected FDM methods presentdifficulties in terms of managing long-time stability both interms of spatial- and time-related aspects ese drawbacksgive rise to significant limitations for the simulation of large-scale long-time and undulating media erefore a nu-merical method with time and spatial stability is proposed inthis work

In the context of numerical simulation accuracy willhave a significant effect on results Compared to first- andsecond-order methods higher-order FDM (HOFDM) caneffectively reduce the degree of freedom required for sim-ulating wave propagation [14] However HOFDMs also giverise to additional limitations and difficulties such as discrete

approximation of boundary conditions and the establish-ment and simulation of complex structures such as cracksFurthermore a larger amount of computation and longercomputation time are generally required leading to com-putation limitations

In large-scale simulation cases particularly the com-putational load and memory utilization of traditionalmethods will face significant challenges Multiblock simu-lation methods proposed for composite domains can saveprocessing memory by partitioning the region representedin a large-scale model thereby greatly improving computingefficiency by enabling parallel calculations between blocks

A relatively appropriate HOFDM that combines initialboundary value conditions involves summation-by-parts(SBP) operators [15ndash19] is approach is employed forapproximating the derivatives in a spatial domain togetherwith the weak enforcement of boundaries and interfaceconditions using either the simultaneous-approximation-term (SAT) method [20 21] or the projection method[22ndash24] e SBP-SAT method can develop strictly stableproof using the energy method leading to robustness inspatial and time domains Some review papers of SBP op-erators can be found in [25 26] and examples of SBP-SATcan be found in [27ndash30]

e essential characteristics of SBP operators are thatthey mimic the integration-by-parts (IBP) property so that itis possible to mimic the energy dissipation of a continuousproblem e basic theory of first-order SBP operators wasproposed by Kreiss and Scherer [19] in 1974 whereby theenergy method is applied for stability proof leading to theHOFDM known as strict stability [31 32]

e SBP operators introduced above were derived in auniform grid with central-difference stencils in the interiorof the area and using one-sided difference stencils near theboundaries thereby maintaining the properties of SBPoperators ese operators can be referred to as classical SBPoperators Other types of SBP operators are generalized SBP[25 33ndash35] multidimensional SBP [36 37] upwind SBP[38 39] and staggered and upwind SBP operators [40]Generalized SBP operators have one or more characteristicsof nonrepeating interior operators nonuniform nodal dis-tribution and exclude one or both boundary nodes Mul-tidimensional SBP operators remove the limitations ofclassical SBP operators for applying the tensor-productformulation to multidimensional conditions because mostclassical SBP operators are one-dimensional Upwind SBPoperators combining flux-splitting techniques for hyper-bolic systems were proposed via noncentral-differencestencil in the interior which introduced artificial dissipationon a nonstaggered or staggered grid

In seismology and in a number of fields such asacoustics electromagnetics and oceanography a commonlyencountered difficulty is the treatment of unbounded do-mains e local high-order absorbing boundary condition(ABC) [41ndash43] and perfectly matched layer (PML) [44ndash47]are the most commonly used techniques for trimming thesedomains and ldquoabsorbingrdquo outgoing waves as much aspossible in order to simulate elastic wave motion in finitecomputation domains ABC is a boundary condition defined

on an artificial boundary in order to make small spuriousreflections occur when elastic waves propagate at theboundary Absorbing layers were proposed bymodifying theunderlying equations in order to rapidly dampen the wavein a layer Due to the difficulties associated with thetransformation between time and frequency domains en-ergy estimation was not applicable to the PML within thetime domain [48] A local high-order ABC as well as anonreflecting boundary condition (BC) has been widelyused for their feasibility intuitive nature and generaliz-ability when combined with the SATmethod enabling well-proven approximates [49ndash58] We employed the nonre-flecting BC since it provided a simple formulation of theelastic wave problem As an extension a method combiningPML with the SBP-SAT (summation by parts + simulta-neous approximation terms) methodology of the symmetricmatrix form (SMF) of elastic wave equations was developedin a general curvilinear geometry and is presented in thiswork Nonreflecting BCs derived in the Laplace space can beobserved in [59] Additionally a well-proposed SBP-SATmethodology was used on grids with nonconforming in-terfaces [60ndash64]

e aim of this work was to establish a generic repre-sentation of the elastic wave equation using the SMF As aresult the SMF framework was able to formulate SH andP-SV wave equations in a similar manner thereby simpli-fying this calculation while also facilitating the transfor-mation of the extension of dimensions (two-dimensional[2D] and three-dimensional [3D]) Meanwhile using theSMF a general continuous stability analysis is presentedcombined with BCs in a general hyperbolic system Anequivalent form can be derived in a curve domain similar tothe form in a cuboid domain by using curvilinear trans-formation of the elastic wave equationsereafter a genericstable discretization of the SMF on curvilinear coordinateswas developed using SBP-SAT where it was observed thatthe SMF is able to provide an equivalent type of the cuboiddomain In this instance the results of similar stabilityanalyses greatly simplified the calculation and proof processHence this framework is applicable to a wide range of elasticwave equations

e remainder of this paper is presented as follows inSection 2 the SMF of elastic wave equations is establishede well-posed BCs of the SMF of elastic wave equationsare proposed using the flux-splitting form provided inSection 3 Section 4 presents the stability analysis using thecontinuous energy method A semidiscrete and appliedSBP-SAT methodology is presented and stability analysiswithin a discrete norm is discussed in Section 5 Numericalstudies are performed in Section 6 Subsequently con-clusions are drawn and future research is presented inSection 7

3 Well-Posed Boundary Conditions

A generic representation of the elastic wave equation re-ferred to as the SMF is presented Using this framework aspecific class of the elastic wave equation can be analyzedand approximated Meanwhile the implementation of BCsis also simplified Wave propagation is often extremely largeeven in unbounded spatial domains Considerable physicaldomains must be replaced by suitable-sized computationaldomains by introducing artificial BCs to trim these do-mains Moreover a free-surface BC is necessary for simu-lating elastic wave propagation at the surface or crackstructure e traditional approach for simulating differentBCs is to employ the properties of waves at differentboundaries eg the traction perpendicular to the surface ofthe free boundary is zero Different BCs have differentmathematical formulas which gives rise to difficulties in thederivation and unity of the elastic wave equations frame-work e SMF is not simply a generic representation of theelastic wave equation but also creates a generic system ofdifferent BCs To derive a nonreflecting BC and the free-surface BC a well-proven characteristic type of ABC was

6 Numerical Experiments

61 Multiblock Condition of P-SV Wave In this section weconsider a multiblock condition that can divide the com-putation domain into appropriate scale blocks Each blockwas able to transform data through an adjacent boundarywhich had the ability to effect computations in parallel Todemonstrate the potential of this multiblock treatment weimposed nonreflecting BCs at boundaries and continuousinterface conditions for blockse properties in blocks werevp 1800ms vs 1000ms and ρ 1000 kgm3 e

computation domain was bounded by [0 3000m] times

[0 3000m] which involved nine blocks with Nξ 100 andNη 100 as shown in Figure 3 e time step is set todt 10minus 3 s and the initial data are

g(t) expminus (x minus 1500)2 +(y minus 1500)2

80001113888 1113889 (49)

Using the SBP-SATmethodology for the SMF of elasticwave equations we obtained amplitude diagrams for dif-ferent times e x- and y-direction wave fields showeddifferent waveforms in the P-SV mode since the initial datahad been applied in the x direction P-wave propagated fromblock five to other blocks at time 03 s (Figure 4) isindicated that the P-SV wave field motivated in block fiveshowed little change when propagating to other blocks

P-wave propagated to the nonreflection boundary attime 09 s (Figure 5) and SV-wave propagated to thenonreflection boundary at time 15 s (Figure 6) isindicated the feasibility of unbounded domainsimulation

e treatment of BCs is always more complex whenapplying the higher-order difference method Generally theaccuracy of BCs is lower than that for the inner mediumerefore the stability problem often occurs at the boundaryposition is problem becomes more prominent whenmultiple computational domains are combined When do-ing so we divided the domain into nine subblocks and 36boundaries which posed a significant challenge to thestability and impact of the numerical simulation Stability isdemonstrated in Section 5 as part of this numerical ex-periment Meanwhile when the elastic wave propagated tothe inner boundary of the medium there was no disturbancefield that is the block form had little influence on the wavefield which indicated that the multiblock simulation of thewave equation was feasible e SBP-SAT methodologyapplied in this work clearly had a positive promoting effecton numerical simulations which can significantly expandthe simulation scale

To investigate the connection between the multiblockand propagation of the elastic wave we next present theamplitude of velocity in the x direction at time 06 s inblock two independently (Figure 7) We verified that con-tinuous interface conditions had little impact on the overallwave field when waves propagated to the interface bound-aries Meanwhile the values of the boundary nodes of thetwo adjacent computational domains coincided with oneanother (Figure 8) It is shown that a multiblock domain canenlarge the simulation scale and significantly improvecomputational efficiency under reasonable settings

62 Crack Structure for SH Wave When the inner com-putational domain was considered as a whole the boundarytypes in the subcomputational region could also be diver-sified which provided convenience for simulating complexstructures For example the traditional finite-differencemethod is required to perform complex operations or ap-proximations in order to realize a discontinuous mediumfor example filling intermittent parts with low-speed mediaIn order to visually demonstrate the propagation process ofelastic waves in cracked media SH waves were utilized sincewaveform transformation was not involved e propertiesof the medium were vs 100ms ρ 2 kgm3 and G

104 Pa e computational domain was bounded by[0 300m] times [0 300m] which involved nine blocks withNξ 100 andNη 100e time step was set to dt 10minus 3 sand the initial data were similar to that in (49)

When an SH wave propagated to the crack structure itgenerated reflected and diffracted waves which causedcontinuous disturbance of the wave field in the mediume superposition and mutual influence of the wave fieldhad a significant impact on wave propagation character-istics Meanwhile the amplitude of diffracted waves de-creased in an obvious manner (Figure 9) is helped us toexplain that in the case of real earthquakes seismic waveattenuation factors must be considered based on the impactof cracks Moreover the method proposed in this paper ismore convenient for realizing a crack structure that is ableto avoid the amplification of errors by low-speed mediafilling

63 Curve Crack Structure in Curvilinear Domain In thisnumerical experiment we considered curve crack structurein a curvilinear domain e interface BC was set betweenblock five and block eight and a crack with no contactbetween block two and block five was employed to show theadvantages of this method in modeling and numerical

In this test the wave field was more complex whichcaused persistent disturbances by reflected and diffractedwaves but without spurious waves being generated by curvemesh conditions (Figure 11) We observed long-time dis-turbances and a reduced maximum of amplitude whichprovided references for the seismic and postseismic analysisof the structure is test also characterized the applicabilityand feasibility of SBP-SAT of the SMF of elastic waveequations to simulate structures with complex shapes

64 Large-Scale Simulation for Complex Terrain To dem-onstrate the full potential of the SBP-SATmethodology ofthe SMF in seismology we next considered specificterrain in Lushan China Elevation data were derivedfrom a profile of Baoxing seismic station as shown in

Figure 12 for an area 798 km in length Since multiblocktreatment involving complex terrain was the main focusof the numerical simulation we employed homogeneousand isotropic parameters where vp 6400ms andvs 3695 ms and 19 times 6 blocks with 201 times 101 gridsdiscretized in each

A method was developed combining PML [48] with theSBP-SATmethodology of the SMF of elastic wave equationsand a general curvilinear geometry was presented by thistest We focused on elastic wave propagation in the mediumand the stability of the simulation e initial data were setsimilar to that in (49)

e wave field at 5 s (Figure 13) showed that hypo-central P-wave propagated to the free surface whileFigure 14 showed the wave field at 25 s once elastic waveshad been reflected and scattered by the irregular surfacecausing the wave field to be extremely complex e wavefield at 50 s and 70 s is shown in Figures 15 and 16

7 Conclusions and Future Work

eprimarymotivation of conducting this work was to derivea high-order accurate SBP-SATapproximation of the SMF ofelastic wave equations which can realize elastic wave prop-agation in a medium with complex cracks and boundariesBased on the SMF the stability of the algorithm can be provenmore concisely through the energy method which infers thatthe formula calculation and implementation of the programcompilation for discretizing of the elastic wave equation willbe more convenient in addition to being able to expand thedimension of elastic waves e SBP-SATdiscretization of theSMF of elastic wave equations appears to be robust despitethe fact that an area is divided into multiple blocks and thenumber of BCs is increased e method developed in thepresent study was successfully applied to several simulationsinvolving cracks and multiple blocks It was also successfullyapplied to actual elevation data in Lushan China indicatingthat our method has the potential for simulating actualearthquakes

In follow-up work we aim to build on the current modelwith more accurate nonreflecting BCs without underminingthe modelrsquos stability Meanwhile we also hope to includeother SBP operators such as upwind or staggered andupwind operators Numerical simulation indicates that themethod has wide application prospects It can be challengingto model discretize and simulate actual elevation andgeological structure and strict requirements are necessary toensure the stability of such a method

Page 2: MultiblockSBP-SATMethodologyofSymmetricMatrixFormof ...timedomain[48].Alocalhigh-orderABC,aswellasa nonreflecting boundary condition (BC), has been widely used for their feasibility,

approximation of boundary conditions and the establish-ment and simulation of complex structures such as cracksFurthermore a larger amount of computation and longercomputation time are generally required leading to com-putation limitations

In large-scale simulation cases particularly the com-putational load and memory utilization of traditionalmethods will face significant challenges Multiblock simu-lation methods proposed for composite domains can saveprocessing memory by partitioning the region representedin a large-scale model thereby greatly improving computingefficiency by enabling parallel calculations between blocks

A relatively appropriate HOFDM that combines initialboundary value conditions involves summation-by-parts(SBP) operators [15ndash19] is approach is employed forapproximating the derivatives in a spatial domain togetherwith the weak enforcement of boundaries and interfaceconditions using either the simultaneous-approximation-term (SAT) method [20 21] or the projection method[22ndash24] e SBP-SAT method can develop strictly stableproof using the energy method leading to robustness inspatial and time domains Some review papers of SBP op-erators can be found in [25 26] and examples of SBP-SATcan be found in [27ndash30]

e essential characteristics of SBP operators are thatthey mimic the integration-by-parts (IBP) property so that itis possible to mimic the energy dissipation of a continuousproblem e basic theory of first-order SBP operators wasproposed by Kreiss and Scherer [19] in 1974 whereby theenergy method is applied for stability proof leading to theHOFDM known as strict stability [31 32]

e SBP operators introduced above were derived in auniform grid with central-difference stencils in the interiorof the area and using one-sided difference stencils near theboundaries thereby maintaining the properties of SBPoperators ese operators can be referred to as classical SBPoperators Other types of SBP operators are generalized SBP[25 33ndash35] multidimensional SBP [36 37] upwind SBP[38 39] and staggered and upwind SBP operators [40]Generalized SBP operators have one or more characteristicsof nonrepeating interior operators nonuniform nodal dis-tribution and exclude one or both boundary nodes Mul-tidimensional SBP operators remove the limitations ofclassical SBP operators for applying the tensor-productformulation to multidimensional conditions because mostclassical SBP operators are one-dimensional Upwind SBPoperators combining flux-splitting techniques for hyper-bolic systems were proposed via noncentral-differencestencil in the interior which introduced artificial dissipationon a nonstaggered or staggered grid

In seismology and in a number of fields such asacoustics electromagnetics and oceanography a commonlyencountered difficulty is the treatment of unbounded do-mains e local high-order absorbing boundary condition(ABC) [41ndash43] and perfectly matched layer (PML) [44ndash47]are the most commonly used techniques for trimming thesedomains and ldquoabsorbingrdquo outgoing waves as much aspossible in order to simulate elastic wave motion in finitecomputation domains ABC is a boundary condition defined

on an artificial boundary in order to make small spuriousreflections occur when elastic waves propagate at theboundary Absorbing layers were proposed bymodifying theunderlying equations in order to rapidly dampen the wavein a layer Due to the difficulties associated with thetransformation between time and frequency domains en-ergy estimation was not applicable to the PML within thetime domain [48] A local high-order ABC as well as anonreflecting boundary condition (BC) has been widelyused for their feasibility intuitive nature and generaliz-ability when combined with the SATmethod enabling well-proven approximates [49ndash58] We employed the nonre-flecting BC since it provided a simple formulation of theelastic wave problem As an extension a method combiningPML with the SBP-SAT (summation by parts + simulta-neous approximation terms) methodology of the symmetricmatrix form (SMF) of elastic wave equations was developedin a general curvilinear geometry and is presented in thiswork Nonreflecting BCs derived in the Laplace space can beobserved in [59] Additionally a well-proposed SBP-SATmethodology was used on grids with nonconforming in-terfaces [60ndash64]

e aim of this work was to establish a generic repre-sentation of the elastic wave equation using the SMF As aresult the SMF framework was able to formulate SH andP-SV wave equations in a similar manner thereby simpli-fying this calculation while also facilitating the transfor-mation of the extension of dimensions (two-dimensional[2D] and three-dimensional [3D]) Meanwhile using theSMF a general continuous stability analysis is presentedcombined with BCs in a general hyperbolic system Anequivalent form can be derived in a curve domain similar tothe form in a cuboid domain by using curvilinear trans-formation of the elastic wave equationsereafter a genericstable discretization of the SMF on curvilinear coordinateswas developed using SBP-SAT where it was observed thatthe SMF is able to provide an equivalent type of the cuboiddomain In this instance the results of similar stabilityanalyses greatly simplified the calculation and proof processHence this framework is applicable to a wide range of elasticwave equations

e remainder of this paper is presented as follows inSection 2 the SMF of elastic wave equations is establishede well-posed BCs of the SMF of elastic wave equationsare proposed using the flux-splitting form provided inSection 3 Section 4 presents the stability analysis using thecontinuous energy method A semidiscrete and appliedSBP-SAT methodology is presented and stability analysiswithin a discrete norm is discussed in Section 5 Numericalstudies are performed in Section 6 Subsequently con-clusions are drawn and future research is presented inSection 7

3 Well-Posed Boundary Conditions

A generic representation of the elastic wave equation re-ferred to as the SMF is presented Using this framework aspecific class of the elastic wave equation can be analyzedand approximated Meanwhile the implementation of BCsis also simplified Wave propagation is often extremely largeeven in unbounded spatial domains Considerable physicaldomains must be replaced by suitable-sized computationaldomains by introducing artificial BCs to trim these do-mains Moreover a free-surface BC is necessary for simu-lating elastic wave propagation at the surface or crackstructure e traditional approach for simulating differentBCs is to employ the properties of waves at differentboundaries eg the traction perpendicular to the surface ofthe free boundary is zero Different BCs have differentmathematical formulas which gives rise to difficulties in thederivation and unity of the elastic wave equations frame-work e SMF is not simply a generic representation of theelastic wave equation but also creates a generic system ofdifferent BCs To derive a nonreflecting BC and the free-surface BC a well-proven characteristic type of ABC was

6 Numerical Experiments

61 Multiblock Condition of P-SV Wave In this section weconsider a multiblock condition that can divide the com-putation domain into appropriate scale blocks Each blockwas able to transform data through an adjacent boundarywhich had the ability to effect computations in parallel Todemonstrate the potential of this multiblock treatment weimposed nonreflecting BCs at boundaries and continuousinterface conditions for blockse properties in blocks werevp 1800ms vs 1000ms and ρ 1000 kgm3 e

computation domain was bounded by [0 3000m] times

[0 3000m] which involved nine blocks with Nξ 100 andNη 100 as shown in Figure 3 e time step is set todt 10minus 3 s and the initial data are

g(t) expminus (x minus 1500)2 +(y minus 1500)2

80001113888 1113889 (49)

Using the SBP-SATmethodology for the SMF of elasticwave equations we obtained amplitude diagrams for dif-ferent times e x- and y-direction wave fields showeddifferent waveforms in the P-SV mode since the initial datahad been applied in the x direction P-wave propagated fromblock five to other blocks at time 03 s (Figure 4) isindicated that the P-SV wave field motivated in block fiveshowed little change when propagating to other blocks

P-wave propagated to the nonreflection boundary attime 09 s (Figure 5) and SV-wave propagated to thenonreflection boundary at time 15 s (Figure 6) isindicated the feasibility of unbounded domainsimulation

e treatment of BCs is always more complex whenapplying the higher-order difference method Generally theaccuracy of BCs is lower than that for the inner mediumerefore the stability problem often occurs at the boundaryposition is problem becomes more prominent whenmultiple computational domains are combined When do-ing so we divided the domain into nine subblocks and 36boundaries which posed a significant challenge to thestability and impact of the numerical simulation Stability isdemonstrated in Section 5 as part of this numerical ex-periment Meanwhile when the elastic wave propagated tothe inner boundary of the medium there was no disturbancefield that is the block form had little influence on the wavefield which indicated that the multiblock simulation of thewave equation was feasible e SBP-SAT methodologyapplied in this work clearly had a positive promoting effecton numerical simulations which can significantly expandthe simulation scale

To investigate the connection between the multiblockand propagation of the elastic wave we next present theamplitude of velocity in the x direction at time 06 s inblock two independently (Figure 7) We verified that con-tinuous interface conditions had little impact on the overallwave field when waves propagated to the interface bound-aries Meanwhile the values of the boundary nodes of thetwo adjacent computational domains coincided with oneanother (Figure 8) It is shown that a multiblock domain canenlarge the simulation scale and significantly improvecomputational efficiency under reasonable settings

62 Crack Structure for SH Wave When the inner com-putational domain was considered as a whole the boundarytypes in the subcomputational region could also be diver-sified which provided convenience for simulating complexstructures For example the traditional finite-differencemethod is required to perform complex operations or ap-proximations in order to realize a discontinuous mediumfor example filling intermittent parts with low-speed mediaIn order to visually demonstrate the propagation process ofelastic waves in cracked media SH waves were utilized sincewaveform transformation was not involved e propertiesof the medium were vs 100ms ρ 2 kgm3 and G

104 Pa e computational domain was bounded by[0 300m] times [0 300m] which involved nine blocks withNξ 100 andNη 100e time step was set to dt 10minus 3 sand the initial data were similar to that in (49)

When an SH wave propagated to the crack structure itgenerated reflected and diffracted waves which causedcontinuous disturbance of the wave field in the mediume superposition and mutual influence of the wave fieldhad a significant impact on wave propagation character-istics Meanwhile the amplitude of diffracted waves de-creased in an obvious manner (Figure 9) is helped us toexplain that in the case of real earthquakes seismic waveattenuation factors must be considered based on the impactof cracks Moreover the method proposed in this paper ismore convenient for realizing a crack structure that is ableto avoid the amplification of errors by low-speed mediafilling

63 Curve Crack Structure in Curvilinear Domain In thisnumerical experiment we considered curve crack structurein a curvilinear domain e interface BC was set betweenblock five and block eight and a crack with no contactbetween block two and block five was employed to show theadvantages of this method in modeling and numerical

In this test the wave field was more complex whichcaused persistent disturbances by reflected and diffractedwaves but without spurious waves being generated by curvemesh conditions (Figure 11) We observed long-time dis-turbances and a reduced maximum of amplitude whichprovided references for the seismic and postseismic analysisof the structure is test also characterized the applicabilityand feasibility of SBP-SAT of the SMF of elastic waveequations to simulate structures with complex shapes

64 Large-Scale Simulation for Complex Terrain To dem-onstrate the full potential of the SBP-SATmethodology ofthe SMF in seismology we next considered specificterrain in Lushan China Elevation data were derivedfrom a profile of Baoxing seismic station as shown in

Figure 12 for an area 798 km in length Since multiblocktreatment involving complex terrain was the main focusof the numerical simulation we employed homogeneousand isotropic parameters where vp 6400ms andvs 3695 ms and 19 times 6 blocks with 201 times 101 gridsdiscretized in each

A method was developed combining PML [48] with theSBP-SATmethodology of the SMF of elastic wave equationsand a general curvilinear geometry was presented by thistest We focused on elastic wave propagation in the mediumand the stability of the simulation e initial data were setsimilar to that in (49)

e wave field at 5 s (Figure 13) showed that hypo-central P-wave propagated to the free surface whileFigure 14 showed the wave field at 25 s once elastic waveshad been reflected and scattered by the irregular surfacecausing the wave field to be extremely complex e wavefield at 50 s and 70 s is shown in Figures 15 and 16

7 Conclusions and Future Work

eprimarymotivation of conducting this work was to derivea high-order accurate SBP-SATapproximation of the SMF ofelastic wave equations which can realize elastic wave prop-agation in a medium with complex cracks and boundariesBased on the SMF the stability of the algorithm can be provenmore concisely through the energy method which infers thatthe formula calculation and implementation of the programcompilation for discretizing of the elastic wave equation willbe more convenient in addition to being able to expand thedimension of elastic waves e SBP-SATdiscretization of theSMF of elastic wave equations appears to be robust despitethe fact that an area is divided into multiple blocks and thenumber of BCs is increased e method developed in thepresent study was successfully applied to several simulationsinvolving cracks and multiple blocks It was also successfullyapplied to actual elevation data in Lushan China indicatingthat our method has the potential for simulating actualearthquakes

In follow-up work we aim to build on the current modelwith more accurate nonreflecting BCs without underminingthe modelrsquos stability Meanwhile we also hope to includeother SBP operators such as upwind or staggered andupwind operators Numerical simulation indicates that themethod has wide application prospects It can be challengingto model discretize and simulate actual elevation andgeological structure and strict requirements are necessary toensure the stability of such a method

3 Well-Posed Boundary Conditions

A generic representation of the elastic wave equation re-ferred to as the SMF is presented Using this framework aspecific class of the elastic wave equation can be analyzedand approximated Meanwhile the implementation of BCsis also simplified Wave propagation is often extremely largeeven in unbounded spatial domains Considerable physicaldomains must be replaced by suitable-sized computationaldomains by introducing artificial BCs to trim these do-mains Moreover a free-surface BC is necessary for simu-lating elastic wave propagation at the surface or crackstructure e traditional approach for simulating differentBCs is to employ the properties of waves at differentboundaries eg the traction perpendicular to the surface ofthe free boundary is zero Different BCs have differentmathematical formulas which gives rise to difficulties in thederivation and unity of the elastic wave equations frame-work e SMF is not simply a generic representation of theelastic wave equation but also creates a generic system ofdifferent BCs To derive a nonreflecting BC and the free-surface BC a well-proven characteristic type of ABC was

6 Numerical Experiments

61 Multiblock Condition of P-SV Wave In this section weconsider a multiblock condition that can divide the com-putation domain into appropriate scale blocks Each blockwas able to transform data through an adjacent boundarywhich had the ability to effect computations in parallel Todemonstrate the potential of this multiblock treatment weimposed nonreflecting BCs at boundaries and continuousinterface conditions for blockse properties in blocks werevp 1800ms vs 1000ms and ρ 1000 kgm3 e

Shock and Vibration 7

computation domain was bounded by [0 3000m] times

[0 3000m] which involved nine blocks with Nξ 100 andNη 100 as shown in Figure 3 e time step is set todt 10minus 3 s and the initial data are

g(t) expminus (x minus 1500)2 +(y minus 1500)2

80001113888 1113889 (49)

Using the SBP-SATmethodology for the SMF of elasticwave equations we obtained amplitude diagrams for dif-ferent times e x- and y-direction wave fields showeddifferent waveforms in the P-SV mode since the initial datahad been applied in the x direction P-wave propagated fromblock five to other blocks at time 03 s (Figure 4) isindicated that the P-SV wave field motivated in block fiveshowed little change when propagating to other blocks

P-wave propagated to the nonreflection boundary attime 09 s (Figure 5) and SV-wave propagated to thenonreflection boundary at time 15 s (Figure 6) isindicated the feasibility of unbounded domainsimulation

e treatment of BCs is always more complex whenapplying the higher-order difference method Generally theaccuracy of BCs is lower than that for the inner mediumerefore the stability problem often occurs at the boundaryposition is problem becomes more prominent whenmultiple computational domains are combined When do-ing so we divided the domain into nine subblocks and 36boundaries which posed a significant challenge to thestability and impact of the numerical simulation Stability isdemonstrated in Section 5 as part of this numerical ex-periment Meanwhile when the elastic wave propagated tothe inner boundary of the medium there was no disturbancefield that is the block form had little influence on the wavefield which indicated that the multiblock simulation of thewave equation was feasible e SBP-SAT methodologyapplied in this work clearly had a positive promoting effecton numerical simulations which can significantly expandthe simulation scale

To investigate the connection between the multiblockand propagation of the elastic wave we next present theamplitude of velocity in the x direction at time 06 s inblock two independently (Figure 7) We verified that con-tinuous interface conditions had little impact on the overallwave field when waves propagated to the interface bound-aries Meanwhile the values of the boundary nodes of thetwo adjacent computational domains coincided with oneanother (Figure 8) It is shown that a multiblock domain canenlarge the simulation scale and significantly improvecomputational efficiency under reasonable settings

62 Crack Structure for SH Wave When the inner com-putational domain was considered as a whole the boundarytypes in the subcomputational region could also be diver-sified which provided convenience for simulating complexstructures For example the traditional finite-differencemethod is required to perform complex operations or ap-proximations in order to realize a discontinuous mediumfor example filling intermittent parts with low-speed mediaIn order to visually demonstrate the propagation process ofelastic waves in cracked media SH waves were utilized sincewaveform transformation was not involved e propertiesof the medium were vs 100ms ρ 2 kgm3 and G

104 Pa e computational domain was bounded by[0 300m] times [0 300m] which involved nine blocks withNξ 100 andNη 100e time step was set to dt 10minus 3 sand the initial data were similar to that in (49)

When an SH wave propagated to the crack structure itgenerated reflected and diffracted waves which causedcontinuous disturbance of the wave field in the mediume superposition and mutual influence of the wave fieldhad a significant impact on wave propagation character-istics Meanwhile the amplitude of diffracted waves de-creased in an obvious manner (Figure 9) is helped us toexplain that in the case of real earthquakes seismic waveattenuation factors must be considered based on the impactof cracks Moreover the method proposed in this paper ismore convenient for realizing a crack structure that is ableto avoid the amplification of errors by low-speed mediafilling

63 Curve Crack Structure in Curvilinear Domain In thisnumerical experiment we considered curve crack structurein a curvilinear domain e interface BC was set betweenblock five and block eight and a crack with no contactbetween block two and block five was employed to show theadvantages of this method in modeling and numerical

simulations (Figure 10) e remaining settings were thesame as in the previous example

In this test the wave field was more complex whichcaused persistent disturbances by reflected and diffractedwaves but without spurious waves being generated by curvemesh conditions (Figure 11) We observed long-time dis-turbances and a reduced maximum of amplitude whichprovided references for the seismic and postseismic analysisof the structure is test also characterized the applicabilityand feasibility of SBP-SAT of the SMF of elastic waveequations to simulate structures with complex shapes

64 Large-Scale Simulation for Complex Terrain To dem-onstrate the full potential of the SBP-SATmethodology ofthe SMF in seismology we next considered specificterrain in Lushan China Elevation data were derivedfrom a profile of Baoxing seismic station as shown in

Figure 12 for an area 798 km in length Since multiblocktreatment involving complex terrain was the main focusof the numerical simulation we employed homogeneousand isotropic parameters where vp 6400ms andvs 3695 ms and 19 times 6 blocks with 201 times 101 gridsdiscretized in each

A method was developed combining PML [48] with theSBP-SATmethodology of the SMF of elastic wave equationsand a general curvilinear geometry was presented by thistest We focused on elastic wave propagation in the mediumand the stability of the simulation e initial data were setsimilar to that in (49)

e wave field at 5 s (Figure 13) showed that hypo-central P-wave propagated to the free surface whileFigure 14 showed the wave field at 25 s once elastic waveshad been reflected and scattered by the irregular surfacecausing the wave field to be extremely complex e wavefield at 50 s and 70 s is shown in Figures 15 and 16

7 Conclusions and Future Work

eprimarymotivation of conducting this work was to derivea high-order accurate SBP-SATapproximation of the SMF ofelastic wave equations which can realize elastic wave prop-agation in a medium with complex cracks and boundariesBased on the SMF the stability of the algorithm can be provenmore concisely through the energy method which infers thatthe formula calculation and implementation of the programcompilation for discretizing of the elastic wave equation willbe more convenient in addition to being able to expand thedimension of elastic waves e SBP-SATdiscretization of theSMF of elastic wave equations appears to be robust despitethe fact that an area is divided into multiple blocks and thenumber of BCs is increased e method developed in thepresent study was successfully applied to several simulationsinvolving cracks and multiple blocks It was also successfullyapplied to actual elevation data in Lushan China indicatingthat our method has the potential for simulating actualearthquakes

In follow-up work we aim to build on the current modelwith more accurate nonreflecting BCs without underminingthe modelrsquos stability Meanwhile we also hope to includeother SBP operators such as upwind or staggered andupwind operators Numerical simulation indicates that themethod has wide application prospects It can be challengingto model discretize and simulate actual elevation andgeological structure and strict requirements are necessary toensure the stability of such a method

3 Well-Posed Boundary Conditions

A generic representation of the elastic wave equation re-ferred to as the SMF is presented Using this framework aspecific class of the elastic wave equation can be analyzedand approximated Meanwhile the implementation of BCsis also simplified Wave propagation is often extremely largeeven in unbounded spatial domains Considerable physicaldomains must be replaced by suitable-sized computationaldomains by introducing artificial BCs to trim these do-mains Moreover a free-surface BC is necessary for simu-lating elastic wave propagation at the surface or crackstructure e traditional approach for simulating differentBCs is to employ the properties of waves at differentboundaries eg the traction perpendicular to the surface ofthe free boundary is zero Different BCs have differentmathematical formulas which gives rise to difficulties in thederivation and unity of the elastic wave equations frame-work e SMF is not simply a generic representation of theelastic wave equation but also creates a generic system ofdifferent BCs To derive a nonreflecting BC and the free-surface BC a well-proven characteristic type of ABC was

6 Numerical Experiments

61 Multiblock Condition of P-SV Wave In this section weconsider a multiblock condition that can divide the com-putation domain into appropriate scale blocks Each blockwas able to transform data through an adjacent boundarywhich had the ability to effect computations in parallel Todemonstrate the potential of this multiblock treatment weimposed nonreflecting BCs at boundaries and continuousinterface conditions for blockse properties in blocks werevp 1800ms vs 1000ms and ρ 1000 kgm3 e

computation domain was bounded by [0 3000m] times

[0 3000m] which involved nine blocks with Nξ 100 andNη 100 as shown in Figure 3 e time step is set todt 10minus 3 s and the initial data are

g(t) expminus (x minus 1500)2 +(y minus 1500)2

80001113888 1113889 (49)

Using the SBP-SATmethodology for the SMF of elasticwave equations we obtained amplitude diagrams for dif-ferent times e x- and y-direction wave fields showeddifferent waveforms in the P-SV mode since the initial datahad been applied in the x direction P-wave propagated fromblock five to other blocks at time 03 s (Figure 4) isindicated that the P-SV wave field motivated in block fiveshowed little change when propagating to other blocks

P-wave propagated to the nonreflection boundary attime 09 s (Figure 5) and SV-wave propagated to thenonreflection boundary at time 15 s (Figure 6) isindicated the feasibility of unbounded domainsimulation

e treatment of BCs is always more complex whenapplying the higher-order difference method Generally theaccuracy of BCs is lower than that for the inner mediumerefore the stability problem often occurs at the boundaryposition is problem becomes more prominent whenmultiple computational domains are combined When do-ing so we divided the domain into nine subblocks and 36boundaries which posed a significant challenge to thestability and impact of the numerical simulation Stability isdemonstrated in Section 5 as part of this numerical ex-periment Meanwhile when the elastic wave propagated tothe inner boundary of the medium there was no disturbancefield that is the block form had little influence on the wavefield which indicated that the multiblock simulation of thewave equation was feasible e SBP-SAT methodologyapplied in this work clearly had a positive promoting effecton numerical simulations which can significantly expandthe simulation scale

To investigate the connection between the multiblockand propagation of the elastic wave we next present theamplitude of velocity in the x direction at time 06 s inblock two independently (Figure 7) We verified that con-tinuous interface conditions had little impact on the overallwave field when waves propagated to the interface bound-aries Meanwhile the values of the boundary nodes of thetwo adjacent computational domains coincided with oneanother (Figure 8) It is shown that a multiblock domain canenlarge the simulation scale and significantly improvecomputational efficiency under reasonable settings

62 Crack Structure for SH Wave When the inner com-putational domain was considered as a whole the boundarytypes in the subcomputational region could also be diver-sified which provided convenience for simulating complexstructures For example the traditional finite-differencemethod is required to perform complex operations or ap-proximations in order to realize a discontinuous mediumfor example filling intermittent parts with low-speed mediaIn order to visually demonstrate the propagation process ofelastic waves in cracked media SH waves were utilized sincewaveform transformation was not involved e propertiesof the medium were vs 100ms ρ 2 kgm3 and G

104 Pa e computational domain was bounded by[0 300m] times [0 300m] which involved nine blocks withNξ 100 andNη 100e time step was set to dt 10minus 3 sand the initial data were similar to that in (49)

When an SH wave propagated to the crack structure itgenerated reflected and diffracted waves which causedcontinuous disturbance of the wave field in the mediume superposition and mutual influence of the wave fieldhad a significant impact on wave propagation character-istics Meanwhile the amplitude of diffracted waves de-creased in an obvious manner (Figure 9) is helped us toexplain that in the case of real earthquakes seismic waveattenuation factors must be considered based on the impactof cracks Moreover the method proposed in this paper ismore convenient for realizing a crack structure that is ableto avoid the amplification of errors by low-speed mediafilling

63 Curve Crack Structure in Curvilinear Domain In thisnumerical experiment we considered curve crack structurein a curvilinear domain e interface BC was set betweenblock five and block eight and a crack with no contactbetween block two and block five was employed to show theadvantages of this method in modeling and numerical

In this test the wave field was more complex whichcaused persistent disturbances by reflected and diffractedwaves but without spurious waves being generated by curvemesh conditions (Figure 11) We observed long-time dis-turbances and a reduced maximum of amplitude whichprovided references for the seismic and postseismic analysisof the structure is test also characterized the applicabilityand feasibility of SBP-SAT of the SMF of elastic waveequations to simulate structures with complex shapes

64 Large-Scale Simulation for Complex Terrain To dem-onstrate the full potential of the SBP-SATmethodology ofthe SMF in seismology we next considered specificterrain in Lushan China Elevation data were derivedfrom a profile of Baoxing seismic station as shown in

Figure 12 for an area 798 km in length Since multiblocktreatment involving complex terrain was the main focusof the numerical simulation we employed homogeneousand isotropic parameters where vp 6400ms andvs 3695 ms and 19 times 6 blocks with 201 times 101 gridsdiscretized in each

A method was developed combining PML [48] with theSBP-SATmethodology of the SMF of elastic wave equationsand a general curvilinear geometry was presented by thistest We focused on elastic wave propagation in the mediumand the stability of the simulation e initial data were setsimilar to that in (49)

e wave field at 5 s (Figure 13) showed that hypo-central P-wave propagated to the free surface whileFigure 14 showed the wave field at 25 s once elastic waveshad been reflected and scattered by the irregular surfacecausing the wave field to be extremely complex e wavefield at 50 s and 70 s is shown in Figures 15 and 16

7 Conclusions and Future Work

eprimarymotivation of conducting this work was to derivea high-order accurate SBP-SATapproximation of the SMF ofelastic wave equations which can realize elastic wave prop-agation in a medium with complex cracks and boundariesBased on the SMF the stability of the algorithm can be provenmore concisely through the energy method which infers thatthe formula calculation and implementation of the programcompilation for discretizing of the elastic wave equation willbe more convenient in addition to being able to expand thedimension of elastic waves e SBP-SATdiscretization of theSMF of elastic wave equations appears to be robust despitethe fact that an area is divided into multiple blocks and thenumber of BCs is increased e method developed in thepresent study was successfully applied to several simulationsinvolving cracks and multiple blocks It was also successfullyapplied to actual elevation data in Lushan China indicatingthat our method has the potential for simulating actualearthquakes

In follow-up work we aim to build on the current modelwith more accurate nonreflecting BCs without underminingthe modelrsquos stability Meanwhile we also hope to includeother SBP operators such as upwind or staggered andupwind operators Numerical simulation indicates that themethod has wide application prospects It can be challengingto model discretize and simulate actual elevation andgeological structure and strict requirements are necessary toensure the stability of such a method

In this section an energy analysis is presented for the SMF ofthe elastic wave equation (10) alongside the BC in (25) eenergy method was based on constructing a norm for thegiven problem that did not grow over time To simplifynotation in the forthcoming energy analysis a number ofdefinitions are necessary e result at the grid point wasstacked as a vector where uT

For large scale as well as complex structural spatialdomains a computation block is not a preferable choice fornumerical simulation We divided the computation spaceinto several blocks with grids conforming at the blockinterface when interfaces were continuous which had aform matching that in (47) Meanwhile the multiblockSBP-SATmethodology of elastic wave equations was able tomanage discontinuous structures such as cracks by usingthe interface definition e form of two blocks is shown inFigure 2

6 Numerical Experiments

61 Multiblock Condition of P-SV Wave In this section weconsider a multiblock condition that can divide the com-putation domain into appropriate scale blocks Each blockwas able to transform data through an adjacent boundarywhich had the ability to effect computations in parallel Todemonstrate the potential of this multiblock treatment weimposed nonreflecting BCs at boundaries and continuousinterface conditions for blockse properties in blocks werevp 1800ms vs 1000ms and ρ 1000 kgm3 e

computation domain was bounded by [0 3000m] times

[0 3000m] which involved nine blocks with Nξ 100 andNη 100 as shown in Figure 3 e time step is set todt 10minus 3 s and the initial data are

g(t) expminus (x minus 1500)2 +(y minus 1500)2

80001113888 1113889 (49)

Using the SBP-SATmethodology for the SMF of elasticwave equations we obtained amplitude diagrams for dif-ferent times e x- and y-direction wave fields showeddifferent waveforms in the P-SV mode since the initial datahad been applied in the x direction P-wave propagated fromblock five to other blocks at time 03 s (Figure 4) isindicated that the P-SV wave field motivated in block fiveshowed little change when propagating to other blocks

P-wave propagated to the nonreflection boundary attime 09 s (Figure 5) and SV-wave propagated to thenonreflection boundary at time 15 s (Figure 6) isindicated the feasibility of unbounded domainsimulation

e treatment of BCs is always more complex whenapplying the higher-order difference method Generally theaccuracy of BCs is lower than that for the inner mediumerefore the stability problem often occurs at the boundaryposition is problem becomes more prominent whenmultiple computational domains are combined When do-ing so we divided the domain into nine subblocks and 36boundaries which posed a significant challenge to thestability and impact of the numerical simulation Stability isdemonstrated in Section 5 as part of this numerical ex-periment Meanwhile when the elastic wave propagated tothe inner boundary of the medium there was no disturbancefield that is the block form had little influence on the wavefield which indicated that the multiblock simulation of thewave equation was feasible e SBP-SAT methodologyapplied in this work clearly had a positive promoting effecton numerical simulations which can significantly expandthe simulation scale

To investigate the connection between the multiblockand propagation of the elastic wave we next present theamplitude of velocity in the x direction at time 06 s inblock two independently (Figure 7) We verified that con-tinuous interface conditions had little impact on the overallwave field when waves propagated to the interface bound-aries Meanwhile the values of the boundary nodes of thetwo adjacent computational domains coincided with oneanother (Figure 8) It is shown that a multiblock domain canenlarge the simulation scale and significantly improvecomputational efficiency under reasonable settings

62 Crack Structure for SH Wave When the inner com-putational domain was considered as a whole the boundarytypes in the subcomputational region could also be diver-sified which provided convenience for simulating complexstructures For example the traditional finite-differencemethod is required to perform complex operations or ap-proximations in order to realize a discontinuous mediumfor example filling intermittent parts with low-speed mediaIn order to visually demonstrate the propagation process ofelastic waves in cracked media SH waves were utilized sincewaveform transformation was not involved e propertiesof the medium were vs 100ms ρ 2 kgm3 and G

104 Pa e computational domain was bounded by[0 300m] times [0 300m] which involved nine blocks withNξ 100 andNη 100e time step was set to dt 10minus 3 sand the initial data were similar to that in (49)

When an SH wave propagated to the crack structure itgenerated reflected and diffracted waves which causedcontinuous disturbance of the wave field in the mediume superposition and mutual influence of the wave fieldhad a significant impact on wave propagation character-istics Meanwhile the amplitude of diffracted waves de-creased in an obvious manner (Figure 9) is helped us toexplain that in the case of real earthquakes seismic waveattenuation factors must be considered based on the impactof cracks Moreover the method proposed in this paper ismore convenient for realizing a crack structure that is ableto avoid the amplification of errors by low-speed mediafilling

63 Curve Crack Structure in Curvilinear Domain In thisnumerical experiment we considered curve crack structurein a curvilinear domain e interface BC was set betweenblock five and block eight and a crack with no contactbetween block two and block five was employed to show theadvantages of this method in modeling and numerical

In this test the wave field was more complex whichcaused persistent disturbances by reflected and diffractedwaves but without spurious waves being generated by curvemesh conditions (Figure 11) We observed long-time dis-turbances and a reduced maximum of amplitude whichprovided references for the seismic and postseismic analysisof the structure is test also characterized the applicabilityand feasibility of SBP-SAT of the SMF of elastic waveequations to simulate structures with complex shapes

64 Large-Scale Simulation for Complex Terrain To dem-onstrate the full potential of the SBP-SATmethodology ofthe SMF in seismology we next considered specificterrain in Lushan China Elevation data were derivedfrom a profile of Baoxing seismic station as shown in

Figure 12 for an area 798 km in length Since multiblocktreatment involving complex terrain was the main focusof the numerical simulation we employed homogeneousand isotropic parameters where vp 6400ms andvs 3695 ms and 19 times 6 blocks with 201 times 101 gridsdiscretized in each

A method was developed combining PML [48] with theSBP-SATmethodology of the SMF of elastic wave equationsand a general curvilinear geometry was presented by thistest We focused on elastic wave propagation in the mediumand the stability of the simulation e initial data were setsimilar to that in (49)

7 Conclusions and Future Work

eprimarymotivation of conducting this work was to derivea high-order accurate SBP-SATapproximation of the SMF ofelastic wave equations which can realize elastic wave prop-agation in a medium with complex cracks and boundariesBased on the SMF the stability of the algorithm can be provenmore concisely through the energy method which infers thatthe formula calculation and implementation of the programcompilation for discretizing of the elastic wave equation willbe more convenient in addition to being able to expand thedimension of elastic waves e SBP-SATdiscretization of theSMF of elastic wave equations appears to be robust despitethe fact that an area is divided into multiple blocks and thenumber of BCs is increased e method developed in thepresent study was successfully applied to several simulationsinvolving cracks and multiple blocks It was also successfullyapplied to actual elevation data in Lushan China indicatingthat our method has the potential for simulating actualearthquakes

In follow-up work we aim to build on the current modelwith more accurate nonreflecting BCs without underminingthe modelrsquos stability Meanwhile we also hope to includeother SBP operators such as upwind or staggered andupwind operators Numerical simulation indicates that themethod has wide application prospects It can be challengingto model discretize and simulate actual elevation andgeological structure and strict requirements are necessary toensure the stability of such a method

For large scale as well as complex structural spatialdomains a computation block is not a preferable choice fornumerical simulation We divided the computation spaceinto several blocks with grids conforming at the blockinterface when interfaces were continuous which had aform matching that in (47) Meanwhile the multiblockSBP-SATmethodology of elastic wave equations was able tomanage discontinuous structures such as cracks by usingthe interface definition e form of two blocks is shown inFigure 2

61 Multiblock Condition of P-SV Wave In this section weconsider a multiblock condition that can divide the com-putation domain into appropriate scale blocks Each blockwas able to transform data through an adjacent boundarywhich had the ability to effect computations in parallel Todemonstrate the potential of this multiblock treatment weimposed nonreflecting BCs at boundaries and continuousinterface conditions for blockse properties in blocks werevp 1800ms vs 1000ms and ρ 1000 kgm3 e

computation domain was bounded by [0 3000m] times

[0 3000m] which involved nine blocks with Nξ 100 andNη 100 as shown in Figure 3 e time step is set todt 10minus 3 s and the initial data are

g(t) expminus (x minus 1500)2 +(y minus 1500)2

80001113888 1113889 (49)

Using the SBP-SATmethodology for the SMF of elasticwave equations we obtained amplitude diagrams for dif-ferent times e x- and y-direction wave fields showeddifferent waveforms in the P-SV mode since the initial datahad been applied in the x direction P-wave propagated fromblock five to other blocks at time 03 s (Figure 4) isindicated that the P-SV wave field motivated in block fiveshowed little change when propagating to other blocks

P-wave propagated to the nonreflection boundary attime 09 s (Figure 5) and SV-wave propagated to thenonreflection boundary at time 15 s (Figure 6) isindicated the feasibility of unbounded domainsimulation

e treatment of BCs is always more complex whenapplying the higher-order difference method Generally theaccuracy of BCs is lower than that for the inner mediumerefore the stability problem often occurs at the boundaryposition is problem becomes more prominent whenmultiple computational domains are combined When do-ing so we divided the domain into nine subblocks and 36boundaries which posed a significant challenge to thestability and impact of the numerical simulation Stability isdemonstrated in Section 5 as part of this numerical ex-periment Meanwhile when the elastic wave propagated tothe inner boundary of the medium there was no disturbancefield that is the block form had little influence on the wavefield which indicated that the multiblock simulation of thewave equation was feasible e SBP-SAT methodologyapplied in this work clearly had a positive promoting effecton numerical simulations which can significantly expandthe simulation scale

To investigate the connection between the multiblockand propagation of the elastic wave we next present theamplitude of velocity in the x direction at time 06 s inblock two independently (Figure 7) We verified that con-tinuous interface conditions had little impact on the overallwave field when waves propagated to the interface bound-aries Meanwhile the values of the boundary nodes of thetwo adjacent computational domains coincided with oneanother (Figure 8) It is shown that a multiblock domain canenlarge the simulation scale and significantly improvecomputational efficiency under reasonable settings

62 Crack Structure for SH Wave When the inner com-putational domain was considered as a whole the boundarytypes in the subcomputational region could also be diver-sified which provided convenience for simulating complexstructures For example the traditional finite-differencemethod is required to perform complex operations or ap-proximations in order to realize a discontinuous mediumfor example filling intermittent parts with low-speed mediaIn order to visually demonstrate the propagation process ofelastic waves in cracked media SH waves were utilized sincewaveform transformation was not involved e propertiesof the medium were vs 100ms ρ 2 kgm3 and G

104 Pa e computational domain was bounded by[0 300m] times [0 300m] which involved nine blocks withNξ 100 andNη 100e time step was set to dt 10minus 3 sand the initial data were similar to that in (49)

When an SH wave propagated to the crack structure itgenerated reflected and diffracted waves which causedcontinuous disturbance of the wave field in the mediume superposition and mutual influence of the wave fieldhad a significant impact on wave propagation character-istics Meanwhile the amplitude of diffracted waves de-creased in an obvious manner (Figure 9) is helped us toexplain that in the case of real earthquakes seismic waveattenuation factors must be considered based on the impactof cracks Moreover the method proposed in this paper ismore convenient for realizing a crack structure that is ableto avoid the amplification of errors by low-speed mediafilling

63 Curve Crack Structure in Curvilinear Domain In thisnumerical experiment we considered curve crack structurein a curvilinear domain e interface BC was set betweenblock five and block eight and a crack with no contactbetween block two and block five was employed to show theadvantages of this method in modeling and numerical

simulations (Figure 10) e remaining settings were thesame as in the previous example

In this test the wave field was more complex whichcaused persistent disturbances by reflected and diffractedwaves but without spurious waves being generated by curvemesh conditions (Figure 11) We observed long-time dis-turbances and a reduced maximum of amplitude whichprovided references for the seismic and postseismic analysisof the structure is test also characterized the applicabilityand feasibility of SBP-SAT of the SMF of elastic waveequations to simulate structures with complex shapes

64 Large-Scale Simulation for Complex Terrain To dem-onstrate the full potential of the SBP-SATmethodology ofthe SMF in seismology we next considered specificterrain in Lushan China Elevation data were derivedfrom a profile of Baoxing seismic station as shown in

Figure 12 for an area 798 km in length Since multiblocktreatment involving complex terrain was the main focusof the numerical simulation we employed homogeneousand isotropic parameters where vp 6400ms andvs 3695 ms and 19 times 6 blocks with 201 times 101 gridsdiscretized in each

A method was developed combining PML [48] with theSBP-SATmethodology of the SMF of elastic wave equationsand a general curvilinear geometry was presented by thistest We focused on elastic wave propagation in the mediumand the stability of the simulation e initial data were setsimilar to that in (49)

e wave field at 5 s (Figure 13) showed that hypo-central P-wave propagated to the free surface whileFigure 14 showed the wave field at 25 s once elastic waveshad been reflected and scattered by the irregular surfacecausing the wave field to be extremely complex e wavefield at 50 s and 70 s is shown in Figures 15 and 16

7 Conclusions and Future Work

eprimarymotivation of conducting this work was to derivea high-order accurate SBP-SATapproximation of the SMF ofelastic wave equations which can realize elastic wave prop-agation in a medium with complex cracks and boundariesBased on the SMF the stability of the algorithm can be provenmore concisely through the energy method which infers thatthe formula calculation and implementation of the programcompilation for discretizing of the elastic wave equation willbe more convenient in addition to being able to expand thedimension of elastic waves e SBP-SATdiscretization of theSMF of elastic wave equations appears to be robust despitethe fact that an area is divided into multiple blocks and thenumber of BCs is increased e method developed in thepresent study was successfully applied to several simulationsinvolving cracks and multiple blocks It was also successfullyapplied to actual elevation data in Lushan China indicatingthat our method has the potential for simulating actualearthquakes

In follow-up work we aim to build on the current modelwith more accurate nonreflecting BCs without underminingthe modelrsquos stability Meanwhile we also hope to includeother SBP operators such as upwind or staggered andupwind operators Numerical simulation indicates that themethod has wide application prospects It can be challengingto model discretize and simulate actual elevation andgeological structure and strict requirements are necessary toensure the stability of such a method

For large scale as well as complex structural spatialdomains a computation block is not a preferable choice fornumerical simulation We divided the computation spaceinto several blocks with grids conforming at the blockinterface when interfaces were continuous which had aform matching that in (47) Meanwhile the multiblockSBP-SATmethodology of elastic wave equations was able tomanage discontinuous structures such as cracks by usingthe interface definition e form of two blocks is shown inFigure 2

61 Multiblock Condition of P-SV Wave In this section weconsider a multiblock condition that can divide the com-putation domain into appropriate scale blocks Each blockwas able to transform data through an adjacent boundarywhich had the ability to effect computations in parallel Todemonstrate the potential of this multiblock treatment weimposed nonreflecting BCs at boundaries and continuousinterface conditions for blockse properties in blocks werevp 1800ms vs 1000ms and ρ 1000 kgm3 e

computation domain was bounded by [0 3000m] times

Using the SBP-SATmethodology for the SMF of elasticwave equations we obtained amplitude diagrams for dif-ferent times e x- and y-direction wave fields showeddifferent waveforms in the P-SV mode since the initial datahad been applied in the x direction P-wave propagated fromblock five to other blocks at time 03 s (Figure 4) isindicated that the P-SV wave field motivated in block fiveshowed little change when propagating to other blocks

P-wave propagated to the nonreflection boundary attime 09 s (Figure 5) and SV-wave propagated to thenonreflection boundary at time 15 s (Figure 6) isindicated the feasibility of unbounded domainsimulation

e treatment of BCs is always more complex whenapplying the higher-order difference method Generally theaccuracy of BCs is lower than that for the inner mediumerefore the stability problem often occurs at the boundaryposition is problem becomes more prominent whenmultiple computational domains are combined When do-ing so we divided the domain into nine subblocks and 36boundaries which posed a significant challenge to thestability and impact of the numerical simulation Stability isdemonstrated in Section 5 as part of this numerical ex-periment Meanwhile when the elastic wave propagated tothe inner boundary of the medium there was no disturbancefield that is the block form had little influence on the wavefield which indicated that the multiblock simulation of thewave equation was feasible e SBP-SAT methodologyapplied in this work clearly had a positive promoting effecton numerical simulations which can significantly expandthe simulation scale

To investigate the connection between the multiblockand propagation of the elastic wave we next present theamplitude of velocity in the x direction at time 06 s inblock two independently (Figure 7) We verified that con-tinuous interface conditions had little impact on the overallwave field when waves propagated to the interface bound-aries Meanwhile the values of the boundary nodes of thetwo adjacent computational domains coincided with oneanother (Figure 8) It is shown that a multiblock domain canenlarge the simulation scale and significantly improvecomputational efficiency under reasonable settings

62 Crack Structure for SH Wave When the inner com-putational domain was considered as a whole the boundarytypes in the subcomputational region could also be diver-sified which provided convenience for simulating complexstructures For example the traditional finite-differencemethod is required to perform complex operations or ap-proximations in order to realize a discontinuous mediumfor example filling intermittent parts with low-speed mediaIn order to visually demonstrate the propagation process ofelastic waves in cracked media SH waves were utilized sincewaveform transformation was not involved e propertiesof the medium were vs 100ms ρ 2 kgm3 and G

104 Pa e computational domain was bounded by[0 300m] times [0 300m] which involved nine blocks withNξ 100 andNη 100e time step was set to dt 10minus 3 sand the initial data were similar to that in (49)

When an SH wave propagated to the crack structure itgenerated reflected and diffracted waves which causedcontinuous disturbance of the wave field in the mediume superposition and mutual influence of the wave fieldhad a significant impact on wave propagation character-istics Meanwhile the amplitude of diffracted waves de-creased in an obvious manner (Figure 9) is helped us toexplain that in the case of real earthquakes seismic waveattenuation factors must be considered based on the impactof cracks Moreover the method proposed in this paper ismore convenient for realizing a crack structure that is ableto avoid the amplification of errors by low-speed mediafilling

63 Curve Crack Structure in Curvilinear Domain In thisnumerical experiment we considered curve crack structurein a curvilinear domain e interface BC was set betweenblock five and block eight and a crack with no contactbetween block two and block five was employed to show theadvantages of this method in modeling and numerical

In this test the wave field was more complex whichcaused persistent disturbances by reflected and diffractedwaves but without spurious waves being generated by curvemesh conditions (Figure 11) We observed long-time dis-turbances and a reduced maximum of amplitude whichprovided references for the seismic and postseismic analysisof the structure is test also characterized the applicabilityand feasibility of SBP-SAT of the SMF of elastic waveequations to simulate structures with complex shapes

64 Large-Scale Simulation for Complex Terrain To dem-onstrate the full potential of the SBP-SATmethodology ofthe SMF in seismology we next considered specificterrain in Lushan China Elevation data were derivedfrom a profile of Baoxing seismic station as shown in

Figure 12 for an area 798 km in length Since multiblocktreatment involving complex terrain was the main focusof the numerical simulation we employed homogeneousand isotropic parameters where vp 6400ms andvs 3695 ms and 19 times 6 blocks with 201 times 101 gridsdiscretized in each

A method was developed combining PML [48] with theSBP-SATmethodology of the SMF of elastic wave equationsand a general curvilinear geometry was presented by thistest We focused on elastic wave propagation in the mediumand the stability of the simulation e initial data were setsimilar to that in (49)

e wave field at 5 s (Figure 13) showed that hypo-central P-wave propagated to the free surface whileFigure 14 showed the wave field at 25 s once elastic waveshad been reflected and scattered by the irregular surfacecausing the wave field to be extremely complex e wavefield at 50 s and 70 s is shown in Figures 15 and 16

7 Conclusions and Future Work

eprimarymotivation of conducting this work was to derivea high-order accurate SBP-SATapproximation of the SMF ofelastic wave equations which can realize elastic wave prop-agation in a medium with complex cracks and boundariesBased on the SMF the stability of the algorithm can be provenmore concisely through the energy method which infers thatthe formula calculation and implementation of the programcompilation for discretizing of the elastic wave equation willbe more convenient in addition to being able to expand thedimension of elastic waves e SBP-SATdiscretization of theSMF of elastic wave equations appears to be robust despitethe fact that an area is divided into multiple blocks and thenumber of BCs is increased e method developed in thepresent study was successfully applied to several simulationsinvolving cracks and multiple blocks It was also successfullyapplied to actual elevation data in Lushan China indicatingthat our method has the potential for simulating actualearthquakes

In follow-up work we aim to build on the current modelwith more accurate nonreflecting BCs without underminingthe modelrsquos stability Meanwhile we also hope to includeother SBP operators such as upwind or staggered andupwind operators Numerical simulation indicates that themethod has wide application prospects It can be challengingto model discretize and simulate actual elevation andgeological structure and strict requirements are necessary toensure the stability of such a method

Page 8: MultiblockSBP-SATMethodologyofSymmetricMatrixFormof ...timedomain[48].Alocalhigh-orderABC,aswellasa nonreflecting boundary condition (BC), has been widely used for their feasibility,

computation domain was bounded by [0 3000m] times

[0 3000m] which involved nine blocks with Nξ 100 andNη 100 as shown in Figure 3 e time step is set todt 10minus 3 s and the initial data are

g(t) expminus (x minus 1500)2 +(y minus 1500)2

80001113888 1113889 (49)

Using the SBP-SATmethodology for the SMF of elasticwave equations we obtained amplitude diagrams for dif-ferent times e x- and y-direction wave fields showeddifferent waveforms in the P-SV mode since the initial datahad been applied in the x direction P-wave propagated fromblock five to other blocks at time 03 s (Figure 4) isindicated that the P-SV wave field motivated in block fiveshowed little change when propagating to other blocks

P-wave propagated to the nonreflection boundary attime 09 s (Figure 5) and SV-wave propagated to thenonreflection boundary at time 15 s (Figure 6) isindicated the feasibility of unbounded domainsimulation

e treatment of BCs is always more complex whenapplying the higher-order difference method Generally theaccuracy of BCs is lower than that for the inner mediumerefore the stability problem often occurs at the boundaryposition is problem becomes more prominent whenmultiple computational domains are combined When do-ing so we divided the domain into nine subblocks and 36boundaries which posed a significant challenge to thestability and impact of the numerical simulation Stability isdemonstrated in Section 5 as part of this numerical ex-periment Meanwhile when the elastic wave propagated tothe inner boundary of the medium there was no disturbancefield that is the block form had little influence on the wavefield which indicated that the multiblock simulation of thewave equation was feasible e SBP-SAT methodologyapplied in this work clearly had a positive promoting effecton numerical simulations which can significantly expandthe simulation scale

To investigate the connection between the multiblockand propagation of the elastic wave we next present theamplitude of velocity in the x direction at time 06 s inblock two independently (Figure 7) We verified that con-tinuous interface conditions had little impact on the overallwave field when waves propagated to the interface bound-aries Meanwhile the values of the boundary nodes of thetwo adjacent computational domains coincided with oneanother (Figure 8) It is shown that a multiblock domain canenlarge the simulation scale and significantly improvecomputational efficiency under reasonable settings

62 Crack Structure for SH Wave When the inner com-putational domain was considered as a whole the boundarytypes in the subcomputational region could also be diver-sified which provided convenience for simulating complexstructures For example the traditional finite-differencemethod is required to perform complex operations or ap-proximations in order to realize a discontinuous mediumfor example filling intermittent parts with low-speed mediaIn order to visually demonstrate the propagation process ofelastic waves in cracked media SH waves were utilized sincewaveform transformation was not involved e propertiesof the medium were vs 100ms ρ 2 kgm3 and G

104 Pa e computational domain was bounded by[0 300m] times [0 300m] which involved nine blocks withNξ 100 andNη 100e time step was set to dt 10minus 3 sand the initial data were similar to that in (49)

When an SH wave propagated to the crack structure itgenerated reflected and diffracted waves which causedcontinuous disturbance of the wave field in the mediume superposition and mutual influence of the wave fieldhad a significant impact on wave propagation character-istics Meanwhile the amplitude of diffracted waves de-creased in an obvious manner (Figure 9) is helped us toexplain that in the case of real earthquakes seismic waveattenuation factors must be considered based on the impactof cracks Moreover the method proposed in this paper ismore convenient for realizing a crack structure that is ableto avoid the amplification of errors by low-speed mediafilling

63 Curve Crack Structure in Curvilinear Domain In thisnumerical experiment we considered curve crack structurein a curvilinear domain e interface BC was set betweenblock five and block eight and a crack with no contactbetween block two and block five was employed to show theadvantages of this method in modeling and numerical

simulations (Figure 10) e remaining settings were thesame as in the previous example

In this test the wave field was more complex whichcaused persistent disturbances by reflected and diffractedwaves but without spurious waves being generated by curvemesh conditions (Figure 11) We observed long-time dis-turbances and a reduced maximum of amplitude whichprovided references for the seismic and postseismic analysisof the structure is test also characterized the applicabilityand feasibility of SBP-SAT of the SMF of elastic waveequations to simulate structures with complex shapes

64 Large-Scale Simulation for Complex Terrain To dem-onstrate the full potential of the SBP-SATmethodology ofthe SMF in seismology we next considered specificterrain in Lushan China Elevation data were derivedfrom a profile of Baoxing seismic station as shown in

Figure 12 for an area 798 km in length Since multiblocktreatment involving complex terrain was the main focusof the numerical simulation we employed homogeneousand isotropic parameters where vp 6400ms andvs 3695 ms and 19 times 6 blocks with 201 times 101 gridsdiscretized in each

A method was developed combining PML [48] with theSBP-SATmethodology of the SMF of elastic wave equationsand a general curvilinear geometry was presented by thistest We focused on elastic wave propagation in the mediumand the stability of the simulation e initial data were setsimilar to that in (49)

e wave field at 5 s (Figure 13) showed that hypo-central P-wave propagated to the free surface whileFigure 14 showed the wave field at 25 s once elastic waveshad been reflected and scattered by the irregular surfacecausing the wave field to be extremely complex e wavefield at 50 s and 70 s is shown in Figures 15 and 16

7 Conclusions and Future Work

eprimarymotivation of conducting this work was to derivea high-order accurate SBP-SATapproximation of the SMF ofelastic wave equations which can realize elastic wave prop-agation in a medium with complex cracks and boundariesBased on the SMF the stability of the algorithm can be provenmore concisely through the energy method which infers thatthe formula calculation and implementation of the programcompilation for discretizing of the elastic wave equation willbe more convenient in addition to being able to expand thedimension of elastic waves e SBP-SATdiscretization of theSMF of elastic wave equations appears to be robust despitethe fact that an area is divided into multiple blocks and thenumber of BCs is increased e method developed in thepresent study was successfully applied to several simulationsinvolving cracks and multiple blocks It was also successfullyapplied to actual elevation data in Lushan China indicatingthat our method has the potential for simulating actualearthquakes

In follow-up work we aim to build on the current modelwith more accurate nonreflecting BCs without underminingthe modelrsquos stability Meanwhile we also hope to includeother SBP operators such as upwind or staggered andupwind operators Numerical simulation indicates that themethod has wide application prospects It can be challengingto model discretize and simulate actual elevation andgeological structure and strict requirements are necessary toensure the stability of such a method

simulations (Figure 10) e remaining settings were thesame as in the previous example

In this test the wave field was more complex whichcaused persistent disturbances by reflected and diffractedwaves but without spurious waves being generated by curvemesh conditions (Figure 11) We observed long-time dis-turbances and a reduced maximum of amplitude whichprovided references for the seismic and postseismic analysisof the structure is test also characterized the applicabilityand feasibility of SBP-SAT of the SMF of elastic waveequations to simulate structures with complex shapes

64 Large-Scale Simulation for Complex Terrain To dem-onstrate the full potential of the SBP-SATmethodology ofthe SMF in seismology we next considered specificterrain in Lushan China Elevation data were derivedfrom a profile of Baoxing seismic station as shown in

Figure 12 for an area 798 km in length Since multiblocktreatment involving complex terrain was the main focusof the numerical simulation we employed homogeneousand isotropic parameters where vp 6400ms andvs 3695 ms and 19 times 6 blocks with 201 times 101 gridsdiscretized in each

A method was developed combining PML [48] with theSBP-SATmethodology of the SMF of elastic wave equationsand a general curvilinear geometry was presented by thistest We focused on elastic wave propagation in the mediumand the stability of the simulation e initial data were setsimilar to that in (49)

e wave field at 5 s (Figure 13) showed that hypo-central P-wave propagated to the free surface whileFigure 14 showed the wave field at 25 s once elastic waveshad been reflected and scattered by the irregular surfacecausing the wave field to be extremely complex e wavefield at 50 s and 70 s is shown in Figures 15 and 16

7 Conclusions and Future Work

eprimarymotivation of conducting this work was to derivea high-order accurate SBP-SATapproximation of the SMF ofelastic wave equations which can realize elastic wave prop-agation in a medium with complex cracks and boundariesBased on the SMF the stability of the algorithm can be provenmore concisely through the energy method which infers thatthe formula calculation and implementation of the programcompilation for discretizing of the elastic wave equation willbe more convenient in addition to being able to expand thedimension of elastic waves e SBP-SATdiscretization of theSMF of elastic wave equations appears to be robust despitethe fact that an area is divided into multiple blocks and thenumber of BCs is increased e method developed in thepresent study was successfully applied to several simulationsinvolving cracks and multiple blocks It was also successfullyapplied to actual elevation data in Lushan China indicatingthat our method has the potential for simulating actualearthquakes

In follow-up work we aim to build on the current modelwith more accurate nonreflecting BCs without underminingthe modelrsquos stability Meanwhile we also hope to includeother SBP operators such as upwind or staggered andupwind operators Numerical simulation indicates that themethod has wide application prospects It can be challengingto model discretize and simulate actual elevation andgeological structure and strict requirements are necessary toensure the stability of such a method

Page 10: MultiblockSBP-SATMethodologyofSymmetricMatrixFormof ...timedomain[48].Alocalhigh-orderABC,aswellasa nonreflecting boundary condition (BC), has been widely used for their feasibility,

simulations (Figure 10) e remaining settings were thesame as in the previous example

In this test the wave field was more complex whichcaused persistent disturbances by reflected and diffractedwaves but without spurious waves being generated by curvemesh conditions (Figure 11) We observed long-time dis-turbances and a reduced maximum of amplitude whichprovided references for the seismic and postseismic analysisof the structure is test also characterized the applicabilityand feasibility of SBP-SAT of the SMF of elastic waveequations to simulate structures with complex shapes

64 Large-Scale Simulation for Complex Terrain To dem-onstrate the full potential of the SBP-SATmethodology ofthe SMF in seismology we next considered specificterrain in Lushan China Elevation data were derivedfrom a profile of Baoxing seismic station as shown in

Figure 12 for an area 798 km in length Since multiblocktreatment involving complex terrain was the main focusof the numerical simulation we employed homogeneousand isotropic parameters where vp 6400ms andvs 3695 ms and 19 times 6 blocks with 201 times 101 gridsdiscretized in each

A method was developed combining PML [48] with theSBP-SATmethodology of the SMF of elastic wave equationsand a general curvilinear geometry was presented by thistest We focused on elastic wave propagation in the mediumand the stability of the simulation e initial data were setsimilar to that in (49)

e wave field at 5 s (Figure 13) showed that hypo-central P-wave propagated to the free surface whileFigure 14 showed the wave field at 25 s once elastic waveshad been reflected and scattered by the irregular surfacecausing the wave field to be extremely complex e wavefield at 50 s and 70 s is shown in Figures 15 and 16

7 Conclusions and Future Work

eprimarymotivation of conducting this work was to derivea high-order accurate SBP-SATapproximation of the SMF ofelastic wave equations which can realize elastic wave prop-agation in a medium with complex cracks and boundariesBased on the SMF the stability of the algorithm can be provenmore concisely through the energy method which infers thatthe formula calculation and implementation of the programcompilation for discretizing of the elastic wave equation willbe more convenient in addition to being able to expand thedimension of elastic waves e SBP-SATdiscretization of theSMF of elastic wave equations appears to be robust despitethe fact that an area is divided into multiple blocks and thenumber of BCs is increased e method developed in thepresent study was successfully applied to several simulationsinvolving cracks and multiple blocks It was also successfullyapplied to actual elevation data in Lushan China indicatingthat our method has the potential for simulating actualearthquakes

In follow-up work we aim to build on the current modelwith more accurate nonreflecting BCs without underminingthe modelrsquos stability Meanwhile we also hope to includeother SBP operators such as upwind or staggered andupwind operators Numerical simulation indicates that themethod has wide application prospects It can be challengingto model discretize and simulate actual elevation andgeological structure and strict requirements are necessary toensure the stability of such a method

eprimarymotivation of conducting this work was to derivea high-order accurate SBP-SATapproximation of the SMF ofelastic wave equations which can realize elastic wave prop-agation in a medium with complex cracks and boundariesBased on the SMF the stability of the algorithm can be provenmore concisely through the energy method which infers thatthe formula calculation and implementation of the programcompilation for discretizing of the elastic wave equation willbe more convenient in addition to being able to expand thedimension of elastic waves e SBP-SATdiscretization of theSMF of elastic wave equations appears to be robust despitethe fact that an area is divided into multiple blocks and thenumber of BCs is increased e method developed in thepresent study was successfully applied to several simulationsinvolving cracks and multiple blocks It was also successfullyapplied to actual elevation data in Lushan China indicatingthat our method has the potential for simulating actualearthquakes

In follow-up work we aim to build on the current modelwith more accurate nonreflecting BCs without underminingthe modelrsquos stability Meanwhile we also hope to includeother SBP operators such as upwind or staggered andupwind operators Numerical simulation indicates that themethod has wide application prospects It can be challengingto model discretize and simulate actual elevation andgeological structure and strict requirements are necessary toensure the stability of such a method

7 Conclusions and Future Work

eprimarymotivation of conducting this work was to derivea high-order accurate SBP-SATapproximation of the SMF ofelastic wave equations which can realize elastic wave prop-agation in a medium with complex cracks and boundariesBased on the SMF the stability of the algorithm can be provenmore concisely through the energy method which infers thatthe formula calculation and implementation of the programcompilation for discretizing of the elastic wave equation willbe more convenient in addition to being able to expand thedimension of elastic waves e SBP-SATdiscretization of theSMF of elastic wave equations appears to be robust despitethe fact that an area is divided into multiple blocks and thenumber of BCs is increased e method developed in thepresent study was successfully applied to several simulationsinvolving cracks and multiple blocks It was also successfullyapplied to actual elevation data in Lushan China indicatingthat our method has the potential for simulating actualearthquakes

In follow-up work we aim to build on the current modelwith more accurate nonreflecting BCs without underminingthe modelrsquos stability Meanwhile we also hope to includeother SBP operators such as upwind or staggered andupwind operators Numerical simulation indicates that themethod has wide application prospects It can be challengingto model discretize and simulate actual elevation andgeological structure and strict requirements are necessary toensure the stability of such a method

Page 14: MultiblockSBP-SATMethodologyofSymmetricMatrixFormof ...timedomain[48].Alocalhigh-orderABC,aswellasa nonreflecting boundary condition (BC), has been widely used for their feasibility,

flat on the right so that the wave field was more complexon the left due to the scattered wave Figures 17 and 18 showthe wave field at 100 s and 175 s A long term and large-scalesimulation with a stable wave field highlights the superiornature of using a multiblock approach in order to divide thelarge model into appropriate subblocks which can improvesimulation efficiency Meanwhile the continuous interfaceBCs had little impact on the wave field

7 Conclusions and Future Work

eprimarymotivation of conducting this work was to derivea high-order accurate SBP-SATapproximation of the SMF ofelastic wave equations which can realize elastic wave prop-agation in a medium with complex cracks and boundariesBased on the SMF the stability of the algorithm can be provenmore concisely through the energy method which infers thatthe formula calculation and implementation of the programcompilation for discretizing of the elastic wave equation willbe more convenient in addition to being able to expand thedimension of elastic waves e SBP-SATdiscretization of theSMF of elastic wave equations appears to be robust despitethe fact that an area is divided into multiple blocks and thenumber of BCs is increased e method developed in thepresent study was successfully applied to several simulationsinvolving cracks and multiple blocks It was also successfullyapplied to actual elevation data in Lushan China indicatingthat our method has the potential for simulating actualearthquakes

In follow-up work we aim to build on the current modelwith more accurate nonreflecting BCs without underminingthe modelrsquos stability Meanwhile we also hope to includeother SBP operators such as upwind or staggered andupwind operators Numerical simulation indicates that themethod has wide application prospects It can be challengingto model discretize and simulate actual elevation andgeological structure and strict requirements are necessary toensure the stability of such a method
