Eden growth model

Eden growth model

The Eden growth model describes the growth of specific types of clusters such as bacterial colonies and deposition of materials. These clusters are formed as material accumulates randomly on the boundary of the system. These are also an example of a surface fractal.The model is named after M. Eden ("circa" 1960–1961) [MAX KOLB, ROBERT BOTET and RÉMI JULLIEN; “Scaling of kinetically growing clusters”; Physical Review Letters; American Physical Society; 26 September 1983; 51 (13): pp. 1123–1126.] .
