It will be shown how the directed percolation process in the presence of compressible velocity fluctuations could be formulated within the means of field-theoretic formalism, which is suitable for the renormalization group treatment.
Percolation is one of the simplest and nicest models in probability theory/statistical mechanics which exhibits critical phenomena. Dynamical percolation is a model where a simple time dynamics is added to the (ordinary) percolation model.…
