The relationship between closeness centrality, local clustering coefficient and ETC

Dimensionless effective thermal conductivity (ETC) is calculated as dividing the effective thermal conductivity by the thermal conductivity of solid. The dimensionless ETC shows a good relationship with closeness centrality and local clustering coefficient.

The following graph is interactive, please use your mouse to obtain a proper visualization by zooming and changing the perspective.

Fig The relationship between dimensionless ETC from FEM, closeness centrality and local clustering has a correlation coefficient of 0.96
