Percolation models

Percolation models are mathematical frameworks used to study how substances, like fluids or electricity, flow through porous materials or networks. Imagine a sponge soaked with water: percolation helps us understand how water moves through the sponge's tiny holes. In broader contexts, these models apply to various fields, including biology, materials science, and social networks, helping researchers analyze how connected components interact and how certain properties (like connectivity or flow) emerge from simple rules. Essentially, they provide insights into processes involving spread and connectivity in complex systems.
