Permeability Changes Resulting from Quartz Precipitation and Dissolution around Upper Crustal Intrusions

Figure 9

Vertical fluid mass fluxes in high permeability systems with primary porosity of (a) 0.1, (b) 0.05, or (c) 0.025. The initial intrusion boundary is shown with the thin dashed line. Vapor saturation contours are shown with solid black lines. The snapshots are all taken at the same time. The yellow and pink stars denote locations where fluid properties are shown as a function of time in Figure 12.
