| Zusammenfassung |
| Percolation theory can be used to find water flow paths of least resistance.
The application of percolation theory to drainage networks allows
identification of the range of exponent values that describe the tortuosity
of rivers in real river networks, which is then used to generate the
observed scaling between drainage basin area and channel length,
a relationship known as Hack's law. Such a theoretical basis for Hack's law
allows interpretation of the range of exponent values based on an assessment
of the heterogeneity of the substrate. |
