A model for percolative vortex motion in inhomogeneous superconductors is introduced. Near the percolation threshold the linear, frequency-dependent electronic conductivity is found to obey scaling laws. The percolation model for vortex motion provides an alternative explanation to the experimental finding of scaling in the electronic conductivity that is conventionally attributed to a vortex g...

Developed Navier-Stokes turbulence is simulated with varying wave-vector mode reductions. The flatness and the skewness of the velocity derivative depend on the degree of mode reduction. They show a crossover towards the value of the full numerical simulation when the viscous subrange starts to be resolved. The intermittency corrections of the scaling exponents zp of the pth order velocity stru...

We present a numerical study of anisotropic statistical fluctuations in homogeneous turbulent flows. We give a new argument to predict the dimensional scaling exponents, zeta(j)(d)(p)=(p+j)/3, for the projections of the pth order structure function in the jth sector of the rotational group. We show that the measured exponents are anomalous, showing a clear deviation from the dimensional predict...

Both multifractal and monofractal scaling of structure function exponents are observed in the turbulent magnetic fluctuations of the Swarthmore Spheromak Experiment plasma. Structure function and probability distribution function (PDF) analysis exhibits multifractal scaling exponents in low frequency, inertial range fluctuations of the turbulence but monofractal scaling in higher frequency, dis...

We propose a Widom-like scaling ansatz for the critical jamming transition. Our ansatz for the elastic energy shows that the scaling of the energy, compressive strain, shear strain, system size, pressure, shear stress, bulk modulus, and shear modulus are all related to each other via scaling relations, with only three independent scaling exponents. We extract the values of these exponents from ...

Massive datasets that capture human movements and social interactions have catalyzed rapid advances in our quantitative understanding of human behavior during the past years. One important aspect affecting both areas is the critical role space plays. Indeed, growing evidence suggests both our movements and communication patterns are associated with spatial costs that follow reproducible scaling...

The phase diagram of QCD at finite temperature and density and the existence of a critical point are currently very actively researched topics. Although tremendous progress has been made, in the case of two light quark flavors even the order of the phase transition at zero density is still under discussion. Finite-size scaling is a powerful method for the analysis of phase transitions in lattic...
