Transients from Initial Conditions: A Perturbative Analysis
The standard procedure to generate initial conditions in numerical simulations of structure formation is to use the Zel’dovich approximation (ZA). Although the ZA correctly reproduces the linear growing modes of density and velocity perturbations, non-linear growth is inaccurately represented, particularly for velocity perturbations because of the ZA failure to conserve momentum. This implies t...
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 کاملTransients from Initial Conditions in Cosmological Simulations
We study the impact of setting initial conditions in numerical simulations using the standard procedure based on the Zel’dovich approximation (ZA). As it is well known from perturbation theory, ZA initial conditions have incorrect second and higher-order growth and therefore excite long-lived transients in the evolution of the statistical properties of density and velocity fields. We also study...
متن کاملHydrodynamics of Nuclear Collisions with Initial Conditions from Perturbative Qcd
We compute the longitudinal hydrodynamic flow in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions at √ s = 5500 GeV by using boost non-invariant initial conditions following from perturbative QCD. The transfer of entropy and energy from the central region to larger rapidities caused by boost non-invariance is determined and the associated decrease in the lifetime of the system is estimated. kari.eskola@c...
متن کاملUsing Perturbative Least Action to Recover Cosmological Initial Conditions
We introduce a new method for generating initial conditions consistent with highly nonlinear observations of density and velocity fields. Using a variant of the Least Action method, called Perturbative Least Action (PLA), we show that it is possible to generate and compare the relative likelihood of many different sets of initial conditions, given some set of observational constraints at the pr...
