Impact of Low- or High-Permeability Inclusion on Free Convection in a Porous Medium

Table 2

Setup of the simulation cases, with a permeability contrast ranging from 0.01 to 1000, and different positions to placing the low (high)-permeability region. The positions are marked in Figure 2.

	Position	Total time (yrs)	Step size (d)
0.01	(1, 1)~(1, 4)	50	2
0.1	(1, 1)~(4, 4)		2
10	(1, 1)~(4, 4)		2
100	(1, 1)~(1, 4)		0.5
1000	(1, 1)~(1, 4)		0.2
