A random cluster model for large-proe-mode-prosity and permeabilty of soils

摘要

Many soils have an aggregated structure that causes asignificant amount of soil porosity to be locked up within the aggregates. This intra-aggregate porosity does not contribute significantly to fluid convection, and the conductivity is primarily determined by the inter-aggregate prosity-also called as large-pore-mode-proposity. This paper presents an elegant and simple method for estimating the distributional properties of large-pore-mode-porosity, which can lead to estimate of conductivity as well.
