چکیده

We investigate the non-perturbative results of multi-dimensional forced Burgers equation coupled to the continuity equation. In the inviscid limit, we derive the exact exponents of two-point density correlation functions in the universal region in arbitrary dimensions. We then find the universal generating function and the tails of the probability density function (PDF) for the longitudinal velocity difference. Our results exhibit that in the inviscid limit, density fluctuations affect the master equation of the generating function in such a way that we can get a positive PDF with the well-known exponential tail. The exponent of the algebraic tail is derived to be −5/2 in any dimension. Finally we observe that various forcing spectrums do not alter the power law behaviour of the algebraic tail in these dimensions, due to a relation between forcing correlator exponent and the exponent of the two-point density correlation function. PACS numbers 47.27.Gs and 47.40.Ki The interest in solving the randomly driven Burgers equation with a large scale driving force is motivated by the hope that it can provide us with the first solvable model of turbulence. Consequently tremendous activity emerged on the nonperturbative understanding of Burgers turbulence [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]. As an original attempt, Polyakov offered a field theoretical method to derive the probability distribution or density function (PDF) of velocity difference in the problem of randomly driven Burgers equation in one dimension [1]. The problem of computation of correlation functions in the inertial range is reduced to the solution of a closed partial differential equation [1, 2]. However, Polyakov’s approach was based on the conjecture of the existence of the operator product expansion (OPE). This method was then extended to the forced Burgers equation coupled to the continuity equation and some results were derived for the behaviour of the probability density function tails and for the value of intermittency and density-density correlators exponents [3, 12]. On the other hand, some extensive numerical simulations show that the

Sailing the Deep Blue Sea of Decaying Burgers Turbulence

We study Lagrangian trajectories and scalar transport statistics in decaying Burgers turbulence. We choose velocity fields, solutions of the inviscid Burgers equation, whose probability distributions are specified by Kida’s statistics. They are time-correlated, not time-reversal invariant and not Gaussian. We discuss in some details the effect of shocks on trajectories and transport equations. ...

Periodic Wave Shock solutions of Burgers equations

In this paper we investigate the exact peroidic wave shock solutions of the Burgers equations. Our purpose is to describe the asymptotic behavior of the solution in the cauchy problem for viscid equation with small parametr ε and to discuss in particular the case of periodic wave shock. We show that the solution of this problem approaches the shock type solution for the cauchy problem of the in...

Note on forced Burgers turbulence

A putative powerlaw range of the probability density of velocity gradient in high-Reynolds-number forced Burgers turbulence is studied. In the absence of information about shock locations, elementary conservation and stationarity relations imply that the exponent 2a in this range satisfies a>3, if dissipation within the power-law range is due to isolated shocks. A generalized model of shock bir...
