Poroelastic Bulk Controls on Shear Localization in Fault Gouge During Earthquake Rupture: Insights From a Hybrid Numerical Framework
Published in Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2026
This paper couples a spectral boundary integral model of the poroelastic bulk with a staggered-grid finite-difference model of fault gouge to resolve large-scale rupture dynamics alongside small-scale pore-pressure gradients and strain localization.
