networks connecting n × n towers to a
central point.
The volume contained in each horizontal secondary
conduit is thus 3 n(n-2)iΩLx/8 and for all 2n conduits:
n 2(n-2)iΩLx/4.
Each horizontal main conduit presents a section that
increases from niΩ/2 at the outskirts of the city to n(n-2)
iΩ/2 for its last section between building n/2-1 and n/2.
