The permeability of strongly disordered systems
- Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California 90089-1221 (United States)
The critical path theory of Katz and Thompson [Phys. Rev. B {bold 34}, 8179 (1986)] is extended to estimate the permeability of strongly disordered macroscopic porous media. The theory is based on percolation concepts and for lognormal distributions predicts an asymptotic exponential dependence on the standard deviation. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
