Disputation | PhD defense Friday 8 Dec | Vidar Stiernström: Summation-by-Parts Finite Difference Methods for Wave Propagation and Earthquake Modeling Location: ÅNG 101121, Sonja Lyttkens, Time: 10:15
This thesis continues the development of SBP finite difference methods for wave propagation problems. Paper I presents a finite difference method for modeling induced seismicity, i.e., earthquakes caused by human activity. Paper II develops a high-order accurate finite difference method for shock waves modeled by scalar conservation laws. In Paper III, new SBP finite difference operators with increased accuracy and efficiency for surface and interface waves are derived. In Papers IV - V numerical methods for inverse problems governed by wave equations are considered, where unknown model parameters are reconstructed by fitting the numerical solution to known data. Specifically, Paper IV presents a method for acoustic shape optimization, while Paper V presents an inversion method for frictional parameters used in earthquake modeling. |
