The authors construct model systems to study pore scale conductivity, by making the models from an array of spheres, tubes, and cracks with different dimensions. They vary the conductivity of this system by changing the sizes and distributions of the different pore elements. To determine the transport properties of this model system, they equated the sum of the energy lost at each pore junction, to the total energy lost in the array, for either fluid or electrical conduction through the array. The authors argue that this model conduction system should be applicable to study conductivity through rock, and allow one to learn more about transport properties of rock.
