Abstract

This project strives to expand on Percolation and Galaxies (eg. L. S. Schulman & P. E. Seiden), by recreating the model they presented. We account for differing velocity curves for sheer, and additionally plan to expand this idea to create a 3-dimensional model. This will be done through a simulation based on Markov chains, which will allow for the system to progress and eventually settle into a steady state, while similarly allowing us to watch the system progress from state to state. The results of this will give a expanded model into galaxy formation which could be applied to other systems.
