Influence of the Main Border Faults on the 3D Hydraulic Field of the Central Upper Rhine Graben

Figure 7

Hydraulic field (stream lines) of model scenario B, taken as exemplary for all scenarios where border faults have been implemented. (a) Fluid velocities and (b) -component of the fluid velocity that differentiates the flow into upward (red colors) and downward (blue colors) flow. For both (a) and (b), the colored flow lines are representative for the entire depth range of the model. Maps are shown in UTM32N and rotated counter-clockwise by approximately 20°.
