Golden, Kenneth M. | Electrical transport in high contrast composite materials | A broad range of problems in the physics of materials involve highly disordered media whose effective behavior depends critically on the connectedness, or percolation properties of a particular component. Examples include smart materials such as piezoresistors and thermistors, smart insulators, rada... | 1997 | |

Golden, Kenneth M. | Brine percolation and the transport properties of sea ice | Sea ice is distinguished from many other porous composites, such as sandstones or bone, in that its microstructure and bulk material properties can vary dramatically over a small temperature range. For brine-volume fractions below a critical value of about 5%, which corresponds to a critical tempera... | Brine volume; Percolation theory; Connectedness properties | 2001 |

Golden, Kenneth M.; Zhu, Jing Yi | Network model for fluid transport through sea ice | The flow of liquid through porous sea ice is a fundamental process affecting problems in polar biology, oceanography and geophysics. The geometry and connectedness of the pore microstructure of sea ice determine its fluid permeability, which depends strongly on temperature. Here we analyze a simple ... | Fluid transport; Pipe network; Brine | 2006 |

Golden, Kenneth M. | Critical behavior of transport in lattice and continuum percolation models | It has been observed that the critical exponents of transport in the continuum, such as in the Swiss cheese and random checkerboard models, can exhibit nonuniversal behavior, with values different than the lattice case. Nevertheless, it is shown here that the transport exponents for both lattice a... | Ising model; Magnetization; Scaling | 1997 |

Golden, Kenneth M. | Exact result for the effective conductivity of a continuum percolation model | A random two-dimensional checkerboard of squares of conductivities 1 and 8 in proportions p and 1 - p is considered. Classical duality implies that the effective conductivity obeys o* = V8 at p = 1/2. It is rigorously found here that to leading order as 8--0, this exact result holds for all p in the... | Particles; Matrix; Checkerboard | 1994 |
