Rules for Flight Paths and Time of Flight for Flows in Porous Media with Heterogeneous Permeability and Porosity

<div>Streamlines (red curves) and flood flight times (rainbow colors). (a) Domains of lower permeability result in local increase in TOF. Matrix permeability is 100 mD; upright to bottom left slanted zone has permeability of 10 mD. Porosity is equal in both domains (20%). (b) Matrix permeability is 100 mD; upright to bottom left slanted zone has increased permeability of 1000 mD. Porosity is constant and equal in all domains (20%).</div>
