The models show that variations in the magnitudes of positive volumetric strain and fluid flow are associated with the orientations of bedding and faults. High magnitudes of positive volumetric strain and fluid flow occur at low (35-55¡ã) and intermediate (90-110¡ã) bedding-fault angles. The models also illustrate that fluid infiltration within meta-sandstones adjacent to a fault is affected by the dip angle of the fault with a 70¡ã dipping fault promoting greater fluid infiltration than a 60¡ã dipping fault. The magnitudes of positive volumetric strain and fluid flow increase as the magnitude of the applied strike-slip to compression ratio is increased. However, when a velocity field with a low strike-slip component is applied to the models higher fluid flows occur within steep-plunging (30¡ã) folds, whereas a velocity field with a high strike-slip component results in higher fluid flows within gentle-plunging (15¡ã) folds. These results suggest that the orientation of bedding and the plunge angle of folds are exerting a control on mineralisation. Such coupling of numerical simulations of deformation and fluid flow provides a useful framework that can be applied to better understand structural control on fluid infiltration in hydrothermal mineral systems.
