Anna Scotti and Luca Formaggia from the Politecnico di Milano, Italy, are giving a SFB 1313 lecture entitled "Some mathematical and numerical issues in the modeling of fault reactivation".
In this presentation, they will give an overview of recent activity at the MOX Laboratory on modelling fault reactivation due to underground exploitation. They will first present some results on synthetic and realistic geometries obtained by coupling standard underground flow and geomechanical solvers to account the effect of pore pressure alteration on the stability of faults. They will also give a brief report on recent preliminary activity on models that account for full poroelasticity/frictional contact problem and uncertainty quantification.
