Ballistic annihilation kinetics: The case of discrete velocity distributions.
The kinetics of the annihilation process, A + A → 0, with ballistic particle motion is investigated when the distribution of particle velocities is discrete. This discreteness is the source of many intriguing phenomena. In the mean field limit, the densities of different velocity species decay in time with different power law rates for many initial conditions. For a onedimensional symmetric sys...
متن کاملProbabilistic ballistic annihilation with continuous velocity distributions.
We investigate the problem of ballistically controlled reactions where particles either annihilate upon collision with probability p, or undergo an elastic shock with probability 1-p. Restricting to homogeneous systems, we provide in the scaling regime that emerges in the long time limit, analytical expressions for the exponents describing the time decay of the density and the root-mean-square ...
متن کاملDecay Kinetics in Ballistic Annihilation
For irreversible diffusion-controlled reactions, it is now widely appreciated that the density decays more slowly than the predictions of mean-field theory in sufficiently low spatial dimension. For two-species annihilation, this behavior is accompanied by the dynamic formation of large-scale spatial heterogeneities in an initially homogeneous system [1]. The contrasting situation where the rea...
متن کاملKinetics and scaling in ballistic annihilation.
We study the simplest irreversible ballistically controlled reaction, whereby particles having an initial continuous velocity distribution annihilate upon colliding. In the framework of the Boltzmann equation, expressions for the exponents characterizing the density and typical velocity decay are explicitly worked out in arbitrary dimension. These predictions are in excellent agreement with the...
متن کاملDynamics of ballistic annihilation.
The problem of ballistically controlled annihilation is revisited for general initial velocity distributions and an arbitrary dimension. An analytical derivation of the hierarchy equations obeyed by the reduced distributions is given, and a scaling analysis of the corresponding spatially homogeneous system is performed. This approach points to the relevance of the nonlinear Boltzmann equation f...
