Abstract

We review growth, percolation, and spatial correlations in deposition models of disordered fiber networks. We first consider 2D models with effective interactions between the deposited particles represented by simple parametrization. In particular, we discuss the case of single cluster growth, growth of uniformly random networks, and flocculated networks with nontrivial spatial correlations. We also consider a 3D deposition model of flexible fibers that describes the growth of multilayer structures of disordered networks. We discuss the statistical properties of such structures, transport of fluid through the network, and the asymptotics of growth in the limit of infinite thickness.
