Effective Conductivity of Percolation Media

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Transport Processes in Macroscopically Disordered Media

Abstract

The analogy between percolation theory and theory of second-order phase transition is introduced. Effective conductivity is considered as the order parameter of phase transitions. Calculations of critical indexes are provided. Different models of percolation media are considered. Hierarchical model of percolation structure is introduced.
