Abstract
We study the impact of spatially heterogeneous permeability on the formation and shape of hydrothermal porous flow convection in the Yarragadee Aquifer by modelling three simulation scenarios, each with differing permeability distributions.In all scenarios, the southern part of the model is characterised by convection rolls, while the north is dominated by a stable region of decreased temperatures at depth due to hydraulic interaction with shallower aquifers.This suggests that reservoir structure is a first-order controlling factor for the formation of the free convective system. The convective system adjusts to the spatially heterogeneous permeability distribution, yielding locally different convection patterns.
