CIRCLE Distinguished Lecture Series: High Performance Computing and Automated Model Construction for Integrated Earthquake Simulation Dr. Muneo HORI Director-General, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, and Project Professor, School of Engineering, University of Tokyo October 21, 2022 8:00 a.m. CDT - 9:00 p.m. Beijing Time via Zoom ABSTRACT: To improve earthquake preparedness and response, it is desirable to predict earthquake hazards, damage, and response over a wide area with high accuracy and resolution for a given earthquake scenario. Integrated earthquake simulation realizes this prediction by numerically analyzing an entire city. The basic technologies of the integrated earthquake simulation are large-scale numerical analysis using high-performance computation and automatic construction of analytical models using city data. In this lecture, the two basic technologies will be outlined and concrete examples will be presented. As examples of integrated earth- quake simulation, the Tokyo metropolitan area earthquake and the Nankai Trough earthquake that will hit the Kansai region will be explained. These two examples include physics-based simulations of earthquake wave propagation and amplification and seismic response of various structures, as well as social science simulations of post-disaster traffic flows and economic activities.
