The earthquake ground motions are efficiently simulated using a discrete three fold Fourier transform of the analytical forms of seismic wave field in frequency wavenumber domain. They are derived by a stiffness matrices based formulation of the physical processes of propagation of seismic waves, which are radiated from a kinematic rupturing fault model. It is found from a numerical example that the seismic wave field on free field ground surface near a strike slip fault is like a vortex of sea water.
