Abstract
Experimental results for the formation factor of packings of spheres w
ith two well defined sizes, in a conducting fluid, are compared with a
n equation of Berryman [Phys. Rev. B 27, 7789 (1983)]. When Berryman's
formula is used twice, in a repeated-mixing fashion, we obtain good a
greement with the experimental data. The procedure can be generalized
to wide grain size distributions and then constitutes a justification
for Archie's law.
