Schematic faults representation in ArcTem. The continuous arrows indicate the possible fluid flow across and along the fault. Kac, Ka and Kl can have different values on the footwall and the hanging wall. Ec and Edz: thickness of the fault core cell and damage zone respectively. All fault cells are implicit cells, which allows to avoid any re-meshing of the section depending on the chosen thicknesses. Therefore, these fault cells are not visible on figures showing the mesh of the section.
