In this paper we calculate the structure functions of one dimensional Burgers and KPZ equations with and without noise, and we interpret our findings using shocks. Most of our results are based on direct numerical simulation of the KPZ equation. Using the solution of noiseless Burgers equation we show that the exponent cq (< |h(x+r)−h(x)| q >∝ rqcq ) of the structure function of noiseless KPZ i...

Atomic misfit associated with a crystal dislocation is manifested by displacements of atoms from their positions in the perfect lattice. The discrete character of the crystal lattice and the nature of interatomic bonds distribute this misfit over the plane normal to the dislocation line. The Nye tensor, which describes the distribution of the resultant Burgers vector across a plane normal to th...

Aspects of the stochastic Burgers equation and their connection with turbulence. Summary. We present results for the 1 dimensional stochastically forced Burgers equation when the spatial range of the forcing varies. As the range of forcing moves from small scales to large scales, the system goes from a chaotic, structureless state to a structured state dominated by shocks. This transition takes...

The fluid-particle interaction model introduced by the three last authors in [J. Differential Equations, 245 (2008), pp. 3503–3544] is the object of our study. This system consists of the Burgers equation with a singular source term (term that models the interaction via a drag force with a moving point particle) and of an ODE for the particle path. The notion of entropy solution for the singula...

In this paper, a two-dimensional cellular automaton(CA) associated with a two-dimensional Burgers equation is presented. The 2D Burgers equation is an integrable generalization of the well-known Burgers equation, and is transformed into a 2D diffusion equation by the Cole-Hopf transformation. The CA is derived from the 2D Burgers equation by using the ultradiscrete method, which can transform d...

Consider the viscous Burgers equation on a bounded interval with inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Following the variational framework introduced in [4], we analyze a Lyapunov functional for such equation which gives the large deviations asymptotics of a stochastic interacting particles model associated to the Burgers equation. We discuss the asymptotic behavior of this energy functi...

The Burgers’ equation is an important and basic nonlinear partial differential equation in fluid dynamics, and has been used as a model equation in other fields, such as modeling of shock waves, gas dynamics, turbulence, and large bubble structures consisting of clusters of galaxies in space. Many researchers have proposed various numerical methods for solving the Burgers’ equation, such as the...
