Lévy stable distributions for velocity and velocity difference in systems of vortex elements
The probability density functions ~PDFs! of the velocity and the velocity difference field induced by a distribution of a large number of discrete vortex elements are investigated numerically and analytically. Tails of PDFs of the velocity and velocity difference induced by a single vortex element are found. Treating velocities induced by different vortex elements as independent random variable...
متن کاملVortex velocity probability distributions in phase-ordering kinetics.
The calculation of the point vortex velocity probability distribution function (VVPDF) is extended to a larger class of systems beyond the nonconserved time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) model treated earlier. The range is extended to include certain anisotropic models and the conserved order parameter case. The VVPDF still satisfies scaling with large velocity tails as for the nonconserved ...
متن کاملLévy walks with velocity fluctuations.
The standard Lévy walk is performed by a particle that moves ballistically between randomly occurring collisions when the intercollision time is a random variable governed by a power-law distribution. During instantaneous collision events, the particle randomly changes the direction of motion but maintains the same constant speed. We generalize the standard model to incorporate velocity fluctua...
متن کاملVelocity distributions in dilute granular systems.
We investigate the idea that velocity distributions in granular gases are determined mainly by eta, the coefficient of restitution and q, which measures the relative importance of heating (or energy input) to collisions. To this end, we study by numerical simulation the properties of inelastic gases as functions of eta, concentration phi, and particle number N with various heating mechanisms. F...
متن کاملVelocity difference statistics in turbulence.
We unify two approaches that have been taken to explain the non-Gaussian probability distribution functions (PDFs) obtained in measurements of longitudinal velocity differences in turbulence, and we apply our approach to Couette-Taylor turbulence data. The first approach we consider was developed by Castaing and co-workers, who obtained the non-Gaussian velocity difference PDF from a superposit...
