A dual network approach to connect structure and flow in random networks
Abstract
Flows in random networks are known to exhibit heavy-tailed statistics, giving rise to anomalous transport in a range of biological, environmental and engineered systems. Yet, how structure determines flow remains an open question. Here we derive a dual network approach that relates flow statistics and network properties. Conditional statistics in a range of networks reveal the existence of two interlaced subnetworks with distinct hydraulic behaviors. Based on this hidden structure, we derive a universal analytical approach that predicts heavy-tailed flow statistics based on network topology and disorder distribution across a range of random networks.
