Brief communication: Possible explanation of the values of Hack's drainage basin, river length scaling exponent
Percolation theory can be used to find water flow paths of least resistance. 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...
