Critical initial conditions for spontaneous thermal ignition
Critical initial conditions for thermal ignition are calculated numerically for planar, cylindrical and spherical geometries. In each case a comparison is made on the bifurcation diagram with the intermediate steady state(s). It is clearly seen that the actual critical initial condition which depends upon the initial temperature proÐle, is partly below the intermediate steady state(s). The vari...
متن کاملFriction forces arising from fluctuating thermal fields
We calculate the damping of a classical oscillator induced by the electromagnetic field generated by thermally fluctuating currents in the environment. The fluctuation-dissipation theorem is applied to derive the linear-velocity damping coefficient g . It turns out that g is the result of fourth-order correlation functions. The theory is applied to a particle oscillating parallel to a flat subs...
متن کاملThermal photons and dileptons
The study of penetrating probes constitutes a key aspect of the relativistic heavy ion program. In the hadronic sector, jet quenching, for example, has been a striking revelation, and has contributed to expose the qualitatively different physics that appeared in the transition from the SPS to RHIC. In this context, electromagnetic radiation also defines a privileged class of observables owing m...
متن کاملTransients from Zel’dovich initial conditions
Abstract. We investigate the error implied by the use of the Zel’dovich approximation to set up the initial conditions at a finite redshift zi in numerical simulations. Using a steepest-descent method developed in a previous work (Valageas (2002a)) we derive the probability distribution P(δR) of the density contrast in the quasi-linear regime. This also provides its dependence on the redshift z...
متن کاملThermal Photons in Strong Interactions
A brief survey is given on the current status of evaluating thermal production of photons from a strongly interacting medium. Emphasis is put on recent progress in assessing equilibrium emission rates in both hadronic and quark-gluon matter. We also give an update on the status of comparing theoretical calculations with experimental data from heavy-ion collisions at the SPS, as well as prospect...
