Virtual California is a computer simulation which models the earthquake fault | ||
system in California. It uses field observations to define fault topology, | ||
long-term slip rates and frictional parameters. The faults are meshed into | ||
fault-segments and quasi-static elastic interactions are calculated between | ||
these segments. Slip is then applied to each segment at geologically-observed | ||
rates until stress values exceed the frictional parameters. At this point the | ||
segment will break and transfer stress to the rest of the system via the | ||
quasi-static interactions described above. Under the correct conditions, | ||
transferred stress results in propagating ruptures throughout the system, i.e. a | ||
simulated earthquake. The design of Virtual California allows for fast execution | ||
so many thousands of events can be generated over very long simulated time | ||
periods. The result is a rich dataset from which to study the statistical | ||
properties of the rupturing fault system. | ||
