Short summary
We develop a simplified model which describes the geological geometry of the Vendenheim site, the solid and fluid properties were adapted from studies in the area. We implement compute the hydrothermal flow with a temperature dependent density and viscosity in a porous medium, in order to verify if a hydrothermal convective system is compatible with known observations at the Vendenheim site, and to get a better idea of the initial conditions of a model for an induced seismicity model.
