Multiscaling of porous soils as heterogeneous complex networks

Abstract: Abstract. In this paper we present a complex network model based on a heterogeneous preferential attachment scheme to quantify the structure of porous soils. Under this perspective pores are represented by nodes and the space for the flow of fluids between them is represented by links. Pore properties such as position and size are described by fixed states in a metric space, while an affinity function is introduced to bias the attachment probabilities of links according to these properties. We perform an analy… Show more

“…For the evolving soil network model (Santiago et al, 2008, Cárdenas et al, 2010, it was shown that the scaling exponent of the asymptotic degree distribution is within the interval 1 < γ ≤ 3. Comparing the two network models, this finding sets the upper limit to the strength of embedding in the threshold network model m ≤ m c = 2D/(α − 1) indicating that soil pore networks are predominantly disassortative.…”
