چکیده

Long-range transport is studied numerically in a time-independent, three-dimensional (3D) fluid flow composed of the superposition of two chains of alternating vortices, one horizontal and the other vertical. Tracers in this flow follow chaotic trajectories composed of correlated Lévy flights with varying velocities. Locations of the chaotic regimes in the flow are compared with recent theories of chaos in non-Beltrami 3D flows. Growth of the variance of a distribution of tracers is divided into transient and long-term regimes, each with different growth exponents.

Finite Larmor radius effects on non-diffusive tracer transport in a zonal flow

Finite Larmor radius (FLR) effects on non-diffusive transport in a prototypical zonal flow with drift waves are studied in the context of a simplified chaotic transport model. The model consists of a superposition of drift waves of the linearized Hasegawa-Mima equation and a zonal shear flow perpendicular to the density gradient. High frequency FLR effects are incorporated by gyroaveraging the ...

Cuckoo search via Lévy flights for the capacitated vehicle routing problem

For this paper, we explored the implementation of the cuckoo search algorithm applied to the capacitated vehicle routing problem. The cuckoo search algorithm was implemented with Lévy flights with the 2-opt and double-bridge operations, and with 500 iterations for each run. The algorithm was tested on the problem instances from the Augerat benchmark dataset. The algorithm did not perform well o...

Fluctuation relations for anomalous dynamics

We consider work fluctuation relations (FRs) for generic types of dynamics generating anomalous diffusion: Lévy flights, long-correlated Gaussian processes and time-fractional kinetics. By combining Langevin and kinetic approaches we calculate the probability distributions of mechanical and thermodynamical work in two paradigmatic nonequilibrium situations, respectively: a particle subject to a...

The Symmetric Stable Lévy Flights and the Feynman Path Integral

We determine the solution of the fractional spatial diffusion equation in n-dimensional Euclidean space for a “free” particle by computing the corresponding propagator. We employ both the Hamiltonian and Lagrangian approaches which produce exact results for the case of jumps governed by symmetric stable Lévy flights.
