3.2 Space-time refinement for elastodynamic equation<br />

Y. Dudouit, L. Giraud, F. Millot and S. Pernet<br />

The numerical simulation of the propagation of seismic waves is a central concern for the seismic<br />

exploration. An important research activity is focused on finding fast and accurate numerical methods to<br />

solve the elastodynamic equation. In particular, the problematic of the software optimization by reducing<br />

the computational costs is crucial to our research.<br />

For the solution of the elastodynamic equation on meshes with local refinements, we are currently<br />

collaborating with Total to design a parallel implementation of a local time refinement technique on top<br />

of a discontinuous Galerkin space discretization. This latter technique enables to manage non-conforming<br />

meshes suited to deal with multiblock approaches that capture the locally refined regions. This work is<br />

developed in the framework of Yohann Dudouit PhD thesis. A software prototype is currently developed to<br />

address these simulations.<br />
