Nonlinear Gravitational Clustering in Expanding Universe
The gravitational clustering of collisionless particles in an expanding universe is modelled using some simple physical ideas. I show that it is possible to understand the nonlinear clustering in terms of three well defined regimes: (1) linear regime; (2) quasilinear regime which is dominated by scale-invariant radial infall and (3) nonlinear regime dominated by nonradial motions and mergers. M...
متن کامل1 99 7 Nonlinear gravitational clustering : dreams of a paradigm
Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT We discuss the late time evolution of the gravitational clustering in an expanding universe, based on the nonlinear scaling relations (NSR) which connect the nonlinear and linear two point correlation functions. The existence of critical indices for the NSR suggests that the evolution may proceed towards a universal profile which does not change its shape at l...
متن کاملScale Dependence of Nonlinear Gravitational Clustering in the Universe
We extend the thermodynamic theory of gravitational clustering in an expanding Universe to include the scale dependence of the ratio, b, of gravitational correlation energy to thermal energy. The predicted form of the gravitational quasi-equilibrium distribution function is unchanged by this scale dependence. This generalization of the theory contains no free parameters, and clariies many earli...

متن کاملAnalytical Approximation to the Nonlinear Power Spectrum of Gravitational Clustering
This paper presents an analytical formula that closely approximates the fully nonlinear power spectrum of matter fluctuations for redshift z ≈ 5 to 0 over a wide range of cosmologically interesting flat models with varying matter density Ωm and neutrino fraction Ων . The functional form is motivated by analytical solutions in asymptotic regimes, but in order to obtain accurate approximations, t...
