“…While extensive work has focused for decades on mud volcano (MV) architecture and on gassy sediment structure and behavior, few studies have numerically explored MV formation and evolution. Several authors have attempted to reproduce surface and subsurface MV architecture as well as their suspected morphological evolution through analog models (Dupuis, 2017; Mourgues et al., 2012; Nermoen et al., 2010; Odonne et al., 2020; Woolsey et al., 1975). The results provide understanding of the evolution of surface structures and morphology as well as exploring possible subsurface mechanisms responsible for the observed data.…”
