Published: Jul 12, 2012 Author(s): Brodaric, Boyan, Hahmann, Torsten Abstract: Voids are extremely important to water science, because their size and connectivity determines the storage and flow of water both above and below the ground surface. While previous formal theories about voids strictly consider holes hosted inside objects, we generalize voids to also include spaces between objects, and distinguish voids in macroscopic […]
