# Infinitesimal Strain and Prescribed Fault Slip We apply the prescribed fault slip formulation that we used for elasticity to poroelasticity. We add a boundary condition to the poroelasticity equation prescribing the jump in the displacement field across the fault, % ```{math} \begin{gathered} -\vec{u}^+ + \vec{u}^- + \vec{d}(\vec{x},t) = \vec{0} \text{ on }\Gamma_f, \end{gathered} ``` % where $\vec{u}^+$ is the displacement vector on the "positive" side of the fault, $\vec{u}^-$ is the displacement vector on the "negative" side of the fault, $\vec{d}$ is the slip vector on the fault, and $\vec{n}$ is the fault normal which points from the negative side of the fault to the positive side of the fault. We enforce the jump in displacements across the fault using a Lagrange multiplier corresponding to equal and opposite tractions on the two sides of the fault. :::{warning} In this formulation, the fault acts as a barrier to fluid flow. That is, there is no coupling in fluid pressure across the fault. ::: ```{table} Mathematical notation for poroelasticity with infinitesimal strain and prescribed fault slip. :name: tab:notation:poroelasticity:prescribed:slip | **Category** | **Symbol** | **Description** | | :----------------------------- | :---------------------: | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Unknowns | $\vec{u}$ | Displacement field | | | $\vec{v}$ | Velocity field | | | $p$ | Pressure field (corresponds to pore fluid pressure) | | | $\epsilon_{v}$ | Volumetric (trace) strain | | | $\vec{\lambda}$ | Lagrange multiplier for fault | | Derived quantities | $\boldsymbol{\sigma}$ | Cauchy stress tensor | | | $\boldsymbol{\epsilon}$ | Cauchy strain tensor | | | $\zeta$ | Variation of fluid content (variation of fluid vol. per unit vol. of PM), $\alpha \epsilon_{v} + \frac{p}{M}$ | | | $\rho_{b}$ | Bulk density, $\left(1 - \phi\right) \rho_{s} + \phi \rho_{f}$ | | | $\vec{q}$ | Darcy flux, $-\frac{\boldsymbol{k}}{\mu_{f}} \cdot \left(\nabla p - \vec{f}_{f}\right)$ | | Common constitutive parameters | $\rho_{s}$ | Solid (matrix) density | | | $\rho_{f}$ | Fluid density | | | $\mu_{f}$ | Fluid viscosity | | | $\phi$ | Porosity | | | $\mu$ | Shear modulus | | | $K_{d}$ | Drained bulk modulus | | | $\alpha$ | Biot coefficient, $1 - \frac{K_{d}}{K_{s}}$ | | | $M$ | Biot modulus | | | $\boldsymbol{k}$ | Permeability | | Source terms | $\vec{f}$ | Body force per unit volume, for example: $\rho_{b} \vec{g}$ | | | $\vec{f}_{f}$ | Fluid body force, for example: $\rho_{f} \vec{g}$ | | | $\gamma$ | Source density; rate of injected fluid per unit volume of the porous solid | ``` :::{toctree} prescribed-slip-quasistatic.md :::
