In large scale heterogeneous aquifer simulations, determining the appropriate coarsening scale lambda to define an effective hydraulic conductivity K-eff is a challenging task, that involves a trade-off between accuracy and cost. Efficiently adjusting the scale lambda is then key, in particular for uncertainty quantification. In this paper, we obtain improved analytical results for the variance of K-eff, valid at any scale, in the context of energy dissipation formulation. Using this formulation, we then derive an efficient K-eff numerical estimator, and compare it with those of the potential-flow average and permeameter formulations in 2D, for lognormal and binary media, over a wide range of A and of heterogeneity. We analyze the probability density function (pdf), mean, and variance, of these estimators, comparing them with the analytical results. In the lognormal case, the pdf's are rather similar for the three estimators, and remain lognormal at all scales. In the binary case, slow convergence to an asymptotic regime is observed close to the percolation threshold.
