Dynamic Model of an Oceanc Plate with 3-D Faults.
This animation shows a set of model which we did with
Shijie Zhong
in which we simulated the evolution of an oceanic plate
in three dimensions. The unique aspect of this
set of models was the use of three-dimensional
faults. The models had a strong temperature and
non Newtonian viscosity. More details on these models,
including other animations can be found
at.
We used the 256 Processor Intel Paragon Supercomputer (now retired from service)
which was operated by the Caltech Center for Advanced Computer
Research (CACR)

Reference
We never published these models, but we had a
write up in the
1997 Annual Report of the Caltech Center for Advanced Computer Research (CACR).
