Abstract

This Letter deals with scaling laws that describe transport and correlation effects in anisotropic media. The method of multi-scale continuum percolation is used. Multi-scale continuum percolation in 2D random flows is based upon a description in terms of a hierarchy of spatial scales ¿. In that theory the correlation function of the velocity scales as ¿-a. On the other hand, fractal theory leads to the scaling with time ¿¿tH, where H is the Hurst factor. A closer examination of fractal and percolation concepts allows us to obtain not only the value of the exponents but also the relationship between them. It is shown that super-diffusive, 1/2
