3D Simulation of Copper Transport and Deposition in Sedimentary Basins

3D simulation results and animations model copper leaching, transport, and deposition in sedimentary basins during the postrift stage. Models were built using a surface-based modelling approach and flow simulations were run with the IC-FERST software on adaptive tetrahedral meshes. The output includes ParaView-compatible files and supplementary videos visualizing salt and copper transport over geological time.

Use Cases

• Validate geochemical transport models based on the described 3D adaptive mesh simulation.
• Visualize brine circulation and copper deposition patterns over geological time based on the provided animations.
• Study the relationship between salinity and copper concentration at redox boundaries based on the described video content.

Strengths

• Includes 3D unstructured adaptive mesh output designed to improve simulation quality and performance.
• Provides supplementary videos visualizing specific transport phenomena like salinity and copper concentration.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
