Benchmark of Dixie Valley, from McKenna and Blackwell models (2004) [11], using Comsol Multiphysics™ software numerical models coupling a Darcy law with the law of heat transfer equation in a porous media. (a) Steady state flow regime in Dixie Valley model obtained by McKenna and Blackwell (2004) in Figure 6. (b) Thermal flow regime of the same model. (c) Benchmark showing the same isotherm pattern and temperature distribution.
