Seismic wave propagation in fractured media: A discontinuous Galerkin approach
Jonás D. De Basabe, Mrinal Kanti Sen, Mary F. Wheeler · 2011
We formulate and implement a discontinuous Galekin method for elastic wave propagation that allows for discontinuities in the displacement field to simulate fractures or faults using the linear- slip model. We show numerical results using a 2D model with one linear- slip discontinuity and different frequencies. The results show a good agreement with analytic solutions.
