Figure 14. (A) Simulation model without damage zone. Fault is only represented as a two-dimensional surface. (B) Simulation model containing a volumetrically expressed fault damage zone, with internal permeability variations. The damage zone is merged with the global grid by replacing the cells enclosing the fault in the coarse global grid with a finer fault zone grid containing explicit properties.
