Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

The liquid-drop model coarse-grains the nucleus into bulk and surface energy terms.

How to interpret this relation type

The target is a model, idealization, restricted ansatz, approximation scheme, phenomenological fit, or historical representation used for the source system or theory. It need not have a universal small error parameter and is not thereby a controlled limit or effective theory. The edge label and detail must identify the precise status.
