Shown is the xz-plane of the model and the y-component of seismic velocity.
The seismic properties of the background model are
- p-velocity: 5.00 km/s
- s-velocity: 3.50 km/s
- density: 2.35 g/cm^3
- The properties of the FZ vary from -30%
to 0% with respect to the surrounding quarterspaces. Note that the colors
of the FZ only coarsely reflect the FZ-heterogeneities. A better sketch
of the FZ is shown with the seismograms.
- Similar the the basic fault model with uniform properties, clear FZ-waves
develop. Due to the heterogeneities, a small amount of FZ-energy
leaks into the surrounding quarterspaces.
- Small scale variations with a strong velocity range of (0-30%) do not
prevent trapped wave generation.
