1 BEM Model of slip on the Channel Islands Thrust, CA
2 Credit Where Credit is Due: Michele Cooke Michele Cooke UMass Amherst Has been training students/postdocs to work with and remesh the CFM since at least 2003 Michele and I have developed slightly different tools/methods, but our overall approach and goals are the same Main meshing software Move suite (Midland Valley Exploration) Available to academic institutes for a small annual fee ~ 200/yr We also use several home-grown Perl scripts for various tasks First* publication using CFM-based mesh: Griffith & Cooke (2004)

4 The Raw CFM: The Good The Raw CFM Mesh Is highly irregular mesh density/resolution triangle shape/size The Northridge Thrust (CFM5.0) Many triangles have poor aspect ratios The Good The mesh is carefully constructed based on all available data TONS of work! Mesh density shows where there is data and where there is not Packaged as ascii files (tsurfs) Easy to read/write Relocated aftershocks from Carena & Suppe (2002)
5 The Raw CFM: Potential Issues Mesh Quality The mesh is has too much variation in triangle size/shape to be numerically stable Ideal: Equilateral triangles (not possible for nonplanar/irregular faults) The Santa Monica Bay Thrust (CFM5.0) Some faults have small gaps/holes Difficult to visually detect Can write scripts do check this I can share mine, if anyone is interested
6 Subsurface Fault Intersections The Raw CFM: Potential Issues The CFM mesh does not intersect faults along triangle edges BEM models calculate values at Elt centroids Interpenetrating Elts can cause stress singularities Kinematic models are OK with intersections Faults must be remeshed to intersect along triangle edges Subsurface intersections are typically unconstrained The Newport-Inglewood fault (blue) intersects the Compton Thrust (gray) in CFM5.0
7 The Raw CFM: Potential Issues CFM Surfaces only cover Seismogenic Depths Modeling interseismic deformation requires extending faults to depth Must extend faults beyond CFM depths Marshall et al. (2009, JGR) provides a computationally-efficient method Many faults many intersect when extended Unconstrained; requires arbitrary geometric decisions Should small faults be extended? How far? Gray: The Imperial Fault (CFM5) Blue: Remeshed & Extended
8 The Raw CFM: Potential Issues Fault Traces Follow Topography Z-values are elevation, not depth Fault traces go up to their actual surface elevation Most faults don t occur at high elevations Total surface area above z=0 is typically small Offshore faults don t go to z=0 (are they blind?) Modeling Challenges Most BEM models use a halfspace Could make a surface topography mesh Shear traction-free Surface would be complex (many elts) Would need to fix fault intersections with surface (very time consuming) Increase computation time The Santa Susana Fault (CFM5)
9 Flattening Topography: Two Choices Choice #1 Project the surface trace down to some datum (z=0) The Good Fault trace is in correct location The Bad Fault is at least one of the following: Mislocated in the subsurface Incorrect dip and mislocated Must curve/kink to merge with correct fault location at depth Surface area changes These cause significant changes in mechanics Z = 0 Actual Fault Trace
10 Flattening Topography: Two Choices Choice #2* *this is what I do Remove portion of fault surface above the datum The Good Fault orientation is unchanged Correct location in subsurface The Bad Fault trace is mislocated (for nonvertical faults) Surface area changes Less significant changes in compared to choice #1 Z = 0 Actual Fault Trace Model Fault Trace

31 Creating good fault meshes is a combination of science and art Science: must fit the data Art: how good is good enough? Meshing: A Bit of an Art VERY time consuming Each fault: 1-3 hrs Depends on number of intersections Blind faults are easier Is this possible to automate? Maybe I have tried and failed many times Transverse Ranges Mesh Based on CFM5.0 Marshall et al. (2017, GRL) 79 Faults; 21,054 Elements Numerous subsurface fault intersections
32 Determination of Slip Rates/Rakes Such a dataset would almost certainly need to be model-derived Our groups have been doing this since Cooke & Marshall (2006, GRL) For recent examples, see Dorsett et al.
