On the Onset of Hydrothermal Convection in Porous Media in the Presence of Creeping Faults: Numerical Stability Analysis and Geological Applications

This thesis presents the effects of shear heating generated by creeping faults on the onset and pattern of hydrothermal convection. The implementation of a numerical stability analysis using the pseudo-arclength continuation method shows that imperfect bifurcation cases can stem from geometrical asy...
