Figure 7.
Diffusion is driven by concentration gradient in all directions. Depending on the host rock, the diffusion coefficient might be anisotropic Refer to the image caption for details.The diagram presents a tunnel within clayey host rock and surrounding excavation damaged zone. Diffusion of dissolved gas is illustrated by arrows moving outward from the tunnel through the fractured network and into the surrounding rock mass, indicating transport across discontinuities and bedding planes.
