It is now widely believed that earthquake generation is significantly affected by high-pressure fluid existing at depths. Modeling study of earthquake faulting coupled with fluid flow is now becoming increasing active. This book will give the state-of-arts knowledge about the theoretical modelling of earthquake faulting that is coupled with fluid flow. The author describes the theoretical and numerical background of modeling in detail. Field and laboratory evidence to suggest the fluid involvement in earthquake faulting is also mentioned. This book is aimed at a wide range of readers, and especially for graduate students and solid-earth researchers who are not very familiar with this field.
