Fluid‐assisted deformation of the subduction interface: Coupled and decoupled regimes from 2‐D hydromechanical modeling

Shear deformation, accompanied with fluid activity inside the subduction interface, is related to many tectonic energy-releasing events, including regular and slow earthquakes. We have numerically examined the fluid-rock interactions inside a deforming subduction interface using state-of-the-art 2-D...
