Spatial Distribution and Statistical Properties of Node Strength in a Network

Caption

This figure illustrates the "scale-free" nature of the turbulence network during spray combustion instability. (A) The spatial distribution of node strength reveals highly connected hubs (red regions) that dominate the flow behavior at two different time intervals, (a) and (b). (B) The probability density function confirms that the network follows a power-law distribution, a hallmark of scale-free systems, where a few critical nodes (hubs) exert a disproportionate influence on the entire system's stability.
