Universality classes in Burgers turbulence
نویسنده
چکیده
We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the shock statistics to approach self-similar form in Burgers turbulence with Lévy process initial data. The proof relies upon an elegant closure theorem of Bertoin and Carraro and Duchon that reduces the study of shock statistics to Smoluchowski’s coagulation equation with additive kernel, and upon our previous characterization of the domains of attraction of self-similar solutions for this equation.

Universality Classes for Extreme Value Statistics
The low temperature physics of disordered systems is governed by the statistics of extremely low energy states. It is thus rather important to discuss the possible universality classes for extreme value statistics. We compare the usual probabilistic classification to the results of the replica approach. We show in detail that one class of independent variables corresponds exactly to the so-call...
متن کاملUniversality classes for self-similarity of noiseless multi-dimensional Burgers turbulence and interface growth
The present work is devoted to the evolution of random solutions of the unforced Burgers and KPZ equations in d–dimensions in the limit of vanishing viscosity. We consider a cellular model and as initial condition assign a value for the velocity potential chosen independently within each cell. We show that the asymptotic behavior of the turbulence at large times is determined by the tail of the...
متن کاملTurbulence for (and By) Amateurs
4. Series of lectures on statistical turbulence written for amateurs but not experts. Elementary aspects and problems of turbulence in two and three dimensional Navier-Stokes equation are introduced. A few properties of scalar turbulence and transport phenomena in turbulent flows are described. Kraichnan’s model of passive advection is discussed a bit more precisely. Part 1: Approaching turbule...
متن کاملRecent developments in superstatistics
We provide an overview on superstatistical techniques applied to complex systems with time scale separation. Three examples of recent applications are dealt with in somewhat more detail: the statistics of small-scale velocity differences in Lagrangian turbulence experiments, train delay statistics on the British rail network, and survival statistics of cancer patients once diagnosed with cancer...
متن کاملBurgers Turbulence and Dynamical Systems
random burgers equation, random Hamilton-Jacobi equation, uniqueness of global minimizers We discuss a dynamical system approach to a problem of Burgers turbulence. It is shown that there exists a unique stationary distribution for solutions to spatially periodic inviscid random forced Burgers equation in arbitrary dimension. The construction is based on analysis of minimizing orbits for time-d...
