48. Since the Manning condensation model is strictly a mean-field approximation, it cannot be valid close to the condensation value q = 1, where fluctuations dominate.
49. b is not expected to change the Manning result for a single cylinder. See, e.g., B.-Y. Ha and A.J. Liu, Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 1289 (1997).
