Abstract:
Two-scale porous media are generated by filtering a Gaussian random correlated field with a random correlated threshold field.
The percolation threshold and the critical exponent ν are derived with the help of a finite-size scaling method. The percolation
threshold for the three-dimensional media is a decreasing function of the variance and correlation length of the threshold
field. A simplified model predicts these trends in 3d; moreover, it suggested some effects in 2d which were all numerically
verified.
