In this example the lateral migration of a radioactive contaminant is modelled, in a fractured porous rock with a single set of parallel fractures. The base of the porous rock is assumed to extend to a considerable distance from the source and is represented by an infinite thickness boundary condition. This example illustrates the case where the default integration is not adequate. The maximum sublayer thickness feature is also used in this example.
