Emergence of pulled fronts in fermionic microscopic particle models.
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the emergence and dynamics of pulled fronts described by the Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piscounov (FKPP) equation in the microscopic reaction-diffusion process A+A<-->A on the lattice when only a particle is allowed per site. To this end we identify the parameter that controls the strength of internal fluctuations in this model, namely, the number of particles per correlated volume. When internal fluctuations are suppressed, we explictly see the matching between the deterministic FKPP description and the microscopic particle model.

Negative streamer fronts: comparison of particle and fluid models and hybrid coupling in space
To understand ionization fronts and the growth of streamer channels, both fluid and particle models have been developed. While fluid models are computationally efficient in regions with large particle densities like the interior of a streamer finger, particle models represent the full microscopic scattering physics and are appropriate for regions with low densities and for particles with high e...
متن کاملHybrid method for simulating front propagation in reaction-diffusion systems.
We study the propagation of pulled fronts in the A<--> A+A microscopic reaction-diffusion process using Monte Carlo simulations. In the mean field approximation the process is described by the deterministic Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piscounov equation. In particular, we concentrate on the corrections to the deterministic behavior due to the number of particles per correlated volume Omega. By ...
متن کاملFluctuating pulled fronts: The origin and the effects of a finite particle cutoff.
Recently, it has been shown that when an equation that allows the so-called pulled fronts in the mean-field limit is modeled with a stochastic model with a finite number N of particles per correlation volume, the convergence to the speed v(*) for N--> infinity is extremely slow-going only as ln(-2)N. Pulled fronts are fronts that propagate into an unstable state, and the asymptotic front speed ...
متن کاملFluctuating pulled fronts & Pomerons
I give a physical discussion of the influence of particle number fluctuations on the high energy evolution in QCD. I emphasize the event–by–event description and the correspondence with the problem of ‘fluctuating pulled fronts’ in statistical physics. I show that the correlations generated by fluctuations reduce the phase–space for BFKL evolution up to saturation. Because of that, the evolutio...
متن کاملSpatially hybrid computations for streamer discharges with generic features of pulled fronts: I. Planar fronts
Streamers are the first stage of sparks and lightning; they grow due to a strongly enhanced electric field at their tips; this field is created by a thin curved space charge layer. These multiple scales are already challenging when the electrons are approximated by densities. However, electron density fluctuations in the leading edge of the front and non-thermal stretched tails of the electron ...
