Numerical Modeling of Geological Fault Reactivation Using Sequential Coupling Strategies

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 11, Page 4339-4359, 10 August 2026.
ABSTRACT The interaction between fluid flow and mechanical deformation in fault zones can lead to processes of fault reactivation, triggering potential geomechanical problems such as seismicity, well collapse, fluid migration to shallower layers, and aggravated surface subsidence.
