title = "Mach wave properties in the presence of source and medium heterogeneity",
abstract = "We investigate Mach wave coherence for kinematic supershear ruptures with spatially heterogeneous source parameters, embedded in 3-D scattering media. We assess Mach wave coherence considering: (1) source heterogeneities in terms of variations in slip, rise time and rupture speed; (2) small-scale heterogeneities in Earth structure, parametrized from combinations of three correlation lengths and two standard deviations (assuming von Karman power spectral density with fixed Hurst exponent); and (3) joint effects of source and medium heterogeneities. Ground-motion simulations are conducted using a generalized finite-difference method, choosing a parametrization such that the highest resolved frequency is ~5 Hz. We discover that Mach wave coherence is slightly diminished at near-fault distances (",
