Abstract

A cross-over from 1D conduction to 3D conduction with increasing scale is shown to account for the kind of scale-dependent hydraulic conductivity sometimes observed in anisotropic systems. The cross-over is investigated in the context of the application of continuum percolation theory to a random fractal model. The dimensional cross-over is defined in terms of a comparison between the correlation length from percolation theory and the system dimensions.
