چکیده

We give a number of exact, analytical results for the stochastic dynamics of the density of local extrema (minima and maxima) of linear Langevin equations and solid-on-solid lattice growth models driven by spatially quenched random noise. Such models can describe nonequilibrium surface fluctuations in a spatially quenched random medium, diffusion in a random catalytic environment, and polymers in a random medium. In spite of the nonuniversal character for the quantities studied, their behavior against the variation of the microscopic length scale can present generic features, characteristic of the macroscopic observables of the system.

Fluctuations in the Composite Regime of a Disordered Growth Model

Abstract. We continue to study a model of disordered interface growth in two dimensions. The interface is given by a height function on the sites of the one–dimensional integer lattice and grows in discrete time: (1) the height above the site x adopts the height above the site to its left if the latter height is larger, (2) otherwise, the height above x increases by 1 with probability px. We as...

Elasto-plastic analysis of discontinuous medium using linearly conforming radial point interpolation method

In this paper, the linearly conforming enriched radial basis point interpolation method is implemented for the elasto-plastic analysis of discontinuous medium. The linear conformability of the method is satisfied by the application of stabilized nodal integration and the enrichment of radial basis functions is achieved by the addition of linear polynomial terms. To implement the method for the ...

Soft random solids and their heterogeneous elasticity.

Spatial heterogeneity in the elastic properties of soft random solids is examined via vulcanization theory. The spatial heterogeneity in the structure of soft random solids is a result of the fluctuations locked-in at their synthesis, which also brings heterogeneity in their elastic properties. Vulcanization theory studies semimicroscopic models of random-solid-forming systems and applies repli...

Dynamics of Driven Interfaces in Heterogenous Magnetic Systems

We analyze interface motion in the random-field Ising model with quenched disorder by means of Monte Carlo simulations. In the absence of thermal fluctuations a depinning transition occurs at some critical threshold field. We study the interface motion in the vicinity of the threshold field by varying the temperature as well as the driving field. It turns out that thermal fluctuations yield a r...

Kinetic roughening in two-phase fluid flow through a random Hele-Shaw cell.

A nonlocal interface equation is derived for two-phase fluid flow, with arbitrary wettability and viscosity contrast, c=(mu(1)-mu(2))/(mu(1)+mu(2)), in a model porous medium defined as a Hele-Shaw cell with random gap b(0)+delta b. Fluctuations of both capillary and viscous pressure are explicitly related to the microscopic quenched disorder, yielding conserved, nonconserved, and power-law corr...
