Abstract

We study traveling time and traveling length for tracer dispersion in two-dimensional bond percolation, modeling flow by tracer particles driven by a pressure difference between two points separated by Euclidean distance r. We find that the minimal traveling time [Formula Presented] scales as [Formula Presented] which is different from the scaling of the most probable traveling time, [Formula Presented] We also calculate the length of the path corresponding to the minimal traveling time and find [Formula Presented] and that the most probable traveling length scales as [Formula Presented] We present the relevant distribution functions and scaling relations.
