Self-organization, the cascade model, and natural hazards.
We consider the frequency-size statistics of two natural hazards, forest fires and landslides. Both appear to satisfy power-law (fractal) distributions to a good approximation under a wide variety of conditions. Two simple cellular-automata models have been proposed as analogs for this observed behavior, the forest fire model for forest fires and the sand pile model for landslides. The behavior...
متن کاملAn inverse cascade explanation for the power-law frequency-area statistics of earthquakes, landslides and wildfires
Frequency-magnitude statistics for natural hazards can greatly help in probabilistic hazard assessments. An example is the case of earthquakes, where the generality of a power-law (fractal) frequency-rupture area correlation is a major feature in seismic risk mapping. Other examples of this power-law frequency-size behaviour are landslides and wildfires. In previous studies, authors have made t...
متن کاملA simple model for the earthquake cycle combining self-organized complexity with critical point behavior
We have studied a hybrid model combining the forest-fire model with the site-percolation model in order to better understand the earthquake cycle. We consider a square array of sites. At each time step, a “tree” is dropped on a randomly chosen site and is planted if the site is unoccupied. When a cluster of “trees” spans the site (a percolating cluster), all the trees in the cluster are removed...
متن کاملSpontaneous mirror-symmetry breaking induces inverse energy cascade in 3D active fluids.
Classical turbulence theory assumes that energy transport in a 3D turbulent flow proceeds through a Richardson cascade whereby larger vortices successively decay into smaller ones. By contrast, an additional inverse cascade characterized by vortex growth exists in 2D fluids and gases, with profound implications for meteorological flows and fluid mixing. The possibility of a helicity-driven inve...
متن کاملOptimal Synthesis of a Cascade Refrigeration System of LNG Through MINLP Model for Pure Refrigerant Cycles
 liquefied natural gas (LNG) is the most economical way of transporting natural gas (NG) over long distances. Liquefaction of NG by using vapor compression refrigeration system requires high operating and capital cost. Due to lack of systematic design methods for multistage refrigeration cycles, the conventional approaches of determining optimal cycle configuration are mostly based on trial-an...
