Abstract

Equip the edges of the lattice ℤ² with i.i.d. random capacities. We prove a law of large numbers for the maximal flow crossing a rectangle in ℝ² when the side lengths of the rectangle go to infinity. The value of the limit depends on the asymptotic behaviour of the ratio of the height of the cylinder over the length of its basis. This law of large numbers extends the law of large numbers obtained by Grimmett and Kesten (1984) for rectangles of particular orientation.
