2011 SCEC Rupture Dynamics Code Validation Workshop

About SCEC

Organizers: Ruth Harris, Ralph Archuleta
Location: Kellogg West Conference Center and Lodge, Pomona, CA

The purpose of the 2011 SCEC Rupture Dynamics Code Validation Workshop will be to learn the results of the latest benchmark exercises (TPV14, 15, 105), to learn about a new code, to learn what is happening in related SCEC verification and validation groups, to discuss appropriate ways to model fault intersections, and to make plans for future code-group activities. For more information about our code comparison group and the benchmarks, please see http://scecdata.usc.edu/cvws.
