27 Oct 2011 | | Abstract: | We introduce a "water retention" model for liquids captured on a random
surface with open boundaries, and investigate it for both continuous and
discrete surface heights 0, 1, ... n-1, on a square lattice with a square
boundary. The model is found to have several intriguing features, including a
non-monotonic dependence of the retention on the number of levels in the
discrete case: for many n, the retention is counterintuitively greater than
that of an n+1-level system. The behavior is explained using percolation
theory, by mapping it to a 2-level system with variable probability. | | Source: | arXiv, 1110.6166 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
