Abstract
A novel technique is presented for estimating the various transport quantities in two‐phase materials of random structure by extending, in an approximate manner, the effective continuum description of such systems. The method is then applied to three representative examples and is found to give results in excellent agreement with those obtained from exact calculations.Keywords
