Effect of Geometry and Fluid Viscosity on Dynamics of Fluid‐Filled Cracks: Insights From Analog Experimental Observations

Abstract Fluid‐filled volumes in geological systems can change the local stress field in the host rock and may induce brittle deformation as well as crack propagation. Although the mechanisms relating fluid pressure perturbations and seismicity have been widely studied, the fluid‐solid interaction i...
