Abstract A relationship between the microstructure of a porous medium and the height of ascension of a fluid in the material is proposed. The porous medium is modelled by means of a square lattice randomly filled with matter. A scaling law is derived from a numerical simulation. An analytical solution is also obtained and compared with the numerical results.
