3D simulation results and animations of copper leaching, transport and deposition in sedimentary basins during the synrift stage

3D simulation results and animations of copper leaching, transport and deposition in sedimentary basins during the synrift stage according to Scenario 1 in Bahlali et al. (2025). Models are built using surface-based modelling approach (doi:10.1007/s11004-018-9764-8). Flow simulations are run with IC-FERST (multifluids.github.io), using unstructured tetrahedral meshes that adapt to geological heterogeneity and flow behaviour throughout the simulation to improve simulation quality and performance. Folder structure: Simulation: Contains 3D unstructured adaptive mesh output in .vtu format (openable with ParaView, www.paraview.org). Time interval between successive outputs is 50,000 years. Animations: Includes Supplementary Video (SV1) visualising brine circulation over the synrift period.
