PhD Position _1 in Computational Seismology: Unstructured Meshing and Numerical Modelling
01. Nov 2006In the last two years a new and very powerful numerical method based on a Discontinuous Galerkin approach has been introduced for the simulation of the propagation of seismic waves for geometrically and rheologically complex domains. For the first time a numerical scheme has been developed, that achieves arbitrary high approximation order in time and space on unstructured tetrahedral meshes. The further development of the numerical scheme and the large-scale application to realistic earthquake scenarios or reservoir monitoring in the exploration industry are the main goals of future research. Therefore, a new research group is funded through the Emmy Noether-Programme “High Resolution Simulation of Seismic Wave Propagation in Realistic Media with Complex Geometry” of the German Research Foundation (DFG).
