Upscaled permeability distribution from Altona for a synthetic circular region of 500 m of radius. The permeability distribution was rescaled using a renormalization technique for the x and y coordinates (\(dx\to k\cdot dx\), \(dy\to k\cdot dy)\) where k is 42.55. Permeability is expressed in m2 units. Orientation of the fracture was shifted so due North is aligned with the positive y-axis
