In mathematics and physics, a surface growth model is the dynamical study of growth of a surface, usually by means of a stochastic differential equation of a field. Popular growth models include:[1][2]
- KPZ equation
- dimer model
- Eden growth model
- SOS model
- Self-avoiding walk
- Abelian sandpile model
- Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation (or the flame equation, for studying the surface of a flame front)[3]
They are studied for their fractal properties, scaling behavior, critical exponents, universality classes, and relations to chaos theory, dynamical system, non-equilibrium / disordered / complex systems.
Popular tools include statistical mechanics, renormalization group, rough path theory, etc.
