Descriptions

This dataset contains numerical simulation results and code used to investigate induced seismicity associated with underground hydrogen storage in salt formations. Finite-element geomechanical models were used to simulate stress evolution around salt caverns under cyclic pressure loading, and were coupled with a rate-and-state Coulomb threshold seismicity model to evaluate the spatio-temporal distribution of seismic events under varying geological and operational conditions. A README file provides detailed information on the dataset structure, modeling workflow, parameters, and accompanying code to support interpretation and reproducibility.
