The theory of large deviations: from Boltzmann’s 1877 calculation to equilibrium macrostates in 2D turbulence
After presenting some basic ideas in the theory of large deviations, this paper applies the theory to a number of problems in statistical mechanics. These include deriving the form of the Gibbs state for a discrete ideal gas; describing probabilistically the phase transition in the Curie–Weiss model of a ferromagnet; and deriving variational formulas that describe the equilibrium macrostates in...
متن کاملTurbulence as a problem in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics
The transitional and well-developed regimes of turbulent shear flows exhibit a variety of remarkable scaling laws that are only now beginning to be systematically studied and understood. In the first part of this article, we summarize recent progress in understanding the friction factor of turbulent flows in rough pipes and quasi-two-dimensional soap films, showing how the data obey a two-param...
متن کاملSystematic deviations from Gaussianity in models of quasigeostrophic turbulence
Microcanonical simulations of spectral truncations of the barotropic quasigeostrophic model are utilized to demonstrate systematic departures from Gaussianity in these models. Truncated equations conserve both the energy and the enstrophy, and predictions of the equilibrium statistical theory are Gaussian for all values of geophysical parameters. Nevertheless, nonzero topographic modes induce s...
متن کاملLagrangian dynamics and statistical geometric structure of turbulence.
The local statistical and geometric structure of three-dimensional turbulent flow can be described by the properties of the velocity gradient tensor. A stochastic model is developed for the Lagrangian time evolution of this tensor, in which the exact nonlinear self-stretching term accounts for the development of well-known non-Gaussian statistics and geometric alignment trends. The nonlocal pre...
