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

Figure 2

The selected locations to place the low-/high-permeability inclusion (the grey rectangles). The locations are labeled by their horizontal and vertical positions, e.g., the low-/high-permeability region is placed close to the source zone center at (1, 4) and far from the source zone at (1, 1). Note that the regions at the furthest locations ((1, 1), (2, 1), (3, 1), and (4, 1)) are partially out of the range of the source zone.
