Dear pylith developers:
In the manual of pylith, it is mentioned that pylith mainly simulates inter-seismic and co-seismic deformation. In my simulation, I want to simulate the post-seismic deformation and constrain it with GNSS data. Post-seismic deformation includes viscoelastic relaxation and post-seismic afterslip, but in the examples, there are not many hints for post-seismic simulation. If I conduct a post-seismic simulation of an earthquake, can you give me some suggestions or tips?
Thanks!
We consider inter-seismic deformation to include post-seismic deformation. PyLith v3 and later do not yet have fault friction to simulate afterslip driven by stress changes (you can use PyLith v2.2.2 for this, refer to examples/2d/subduction/step04). You can prescribe afterslip in PyLith v3 and later.
The following examples cover post-seismic deformation with viscoelastic relaxation:
