A Mixed‐Flux‐Based Nodal Discontinuous Galerkin Method for 3D Dynamic Rupture Modeling
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Numerical simulation of rupture dynamics provides critical insights for understanding earthquake physics, while the complex geometry and heterogeneous material properties of natural faults make numerical method development challenging. The discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method is suitable for handling these complexities. In the DG method, the fault boundary conditions can be conveniently imposed through the upwind flux by solving a Riemann problem based on a velocity‐strain elastodynamic equation. However, the universal adoption of upwind flux can cause spatial oscillations in cases where elements on adjacent sides of the fault surface are not nearly symmetric. Here we propose a nodal DG method with an upwind/central mixed‐flux scheme to solve the spatial oscillation problem and thus reduce the dependence on mesh quality. Our method can achieve high scalability in parallel computing under different orders of accuracy. We verify the new method by comparing simulation results with those from other methods on a series of published benchmark problems with complex fault geometries, heterogeneous materials, off‐fault plasticity, roughness, thermal pressurization, and various versions of fault friction laws. Finally, we demonstrate that our method can be applied to simulate the dynamic rupture process of the 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake along realistic fault geometry, including branches, step‐overs and a previously neglected sub‐parallel fault segment, offering a high potential to systematically explore the influences of fault zone properties on earthquake rupture dynamics.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
