Anisotropy of Conductivity Settings

I've managed to confuse myself regarding anisotropy settings.

In most cases I've seen, anisotropy is the ratio of the maximum to minimum.
e.g. setting it to '10' would net 10 times greater parameter in that direction.

However, in FEFlow, anisotropy of conductivity is defined as K_min/K_max

So, setting this to 10, such as the case before, would actually [i]reduce [/i]the flow in that direction - but, if K_min is 10-times greater than K_max, that doesn't make sense conceptually.

I'd like to set the flow to be 10 times greater in the primary direction than the orthogonal direction, do I need to set K to 10 or to 0.1!?!

@Bjorn, any sage words for me? :P

Sure, sorry for not writing earlier. Are you using a 2D or 3D model? Did you change settings for the anisotropy in the Problem Settings?

Glad to hear from you!

It's a 2D planar model, with the simplest case of anisotropy (Isotropic?) in the problem settings, and just modifying the 'Anisotropy of Conductivity' value.

Thankyou! :D
