| Animation image-size is 1000x400 pixels. | Click here for the smaller 780x310 pixels version. |
| Remark: To better visualize
the flow path, only saturations in the
interval [0.05, 1.0] are plotted. This causes a "tunneling" effect which makes the gas appear to flow into the vertical fault core from the sides. |
