source_modelling

Source Modelling

The source modelling repo is a collection of modules for representing faults, modelling rupture paths, reading source models, and other utilities related to source modelling.

Source Geometry

The source_modelling package provides many ways to represent fault geometry:

As point sources, with a small area (source_modelling.sources.Point),
As planes (source_modelling.sources.Plane),
As a connected series of planes (source_modelling.sources.Fault).

For each geometry we define common properties (strike, dip, length, width, etc) and a local coordinate space to convert between points on the plane and global coordinates.

Rupture Paths

The source_modelling.rupture_propagation module can find likely rupture paths between faults using a probabilistic approach based on the closest points between faults. The workflow makes use of this to simulate multi-segment ruptures.

Slip and Moment

The source_modelling.slip and source_modelling.moment modules contain mathematical functions related to slip and moment respectively.

Source Formats

The source modelling package contains modules for parsing common formats for specifying ruptures, including:

A highly optimised SRF parser (source_modelling.srf).
A FSP parser (source_modelling.fsp)
A GSF parser (source_modelling.gsf)
