Wave turbulence in Bose-Einstein condensates

The kinetics of nonequilibrium Bose-Einstein condensates are considered within the framework of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. A systematic derivation is given for weak small-scale perturbations of a steady confined condensate state. This approach combines a wavepacket WKB description with the weak turbulence theory. The WKB theory derived in this paper describes the effect of the condensate on the short-wave excitations which appears to be different from a simple renormalization of the confining potential suggested in previous literature.Comment: 33 pages 2 figure

THE ASYMPTOTICS OF A SOLUTION OF THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL HEAT EQUATION WITH UNBOUNDED INITIAL DATA

For the multidimensional heat equation, the long-time asymptotic approximation of the solution of the Cauchy problem is obtained in the case when the initial function grows at infinity and contains logarithms in its asymptotics. In addition to natural applications to processes of heat conduction and diffusion, the investigation of the asymptotic behavior of the solution of the problem under consideration is of interest for the asymptotic analysisof equations of parabolic type. The auxiliary parameter method plays a decisive role in the investigation

EVOLUTION OF A MULTISCALE SINGULARITY OF THE SOLUTION OF THE BURGERS EQUATION IN THE 4-DIMENSIONAL SPACE–TIME

The solution of the Cauchy problem for the vector Burgers equation with a small parameter of dissipation $\varepsilon$ in the $4$-dimensional space-time is studied: $$\mathbf{u}_t + (\mathbf{u}\nabla) \mathbf{u} = \varepsilon \triangle \mathbf{u}, \quad u_{\nu} (\mathbf{x}, -1, \varepsilon) = - x_{\nu} + 4^{-\nu}(\nu + 1) x_{\nu}^{2\nu + 1},$$ With the help of the Cole–Hopf transform $\mathbf{u} = - 2 \varepsilon \nabla \ln H,$ the exact solution and its leading asymptotic approximation, depending on six space-time scales, near a singular point are found. A formula for the growth of partial derivatives of the components of the vector field $\mathbf{u}$ on the time interval from the initial moment to the singular point, called the formula of the gradient catastrophe, is established: $$\frac{\partial u_{\nu} (0, t, \varepsilon)}{\partial x_{\nu}} = \frac{1}{t} \left[ 1 + O \left( \varepsilon |t|^{- 1 - 1/\nu} \right) \right]\!, \quad \frac{t}{\varepsilon^{\nu /(\nu + 1)} } \to -\infty, \quad t \to -0.$$The asymptotics of the solution far from the singular point, involving a multistep reconstruction of the space-time scales, is also obtained: $$ u_{\nu} (\mathbf{x}, t, \varepsilon) \approx - 2 \left( \frac{t}{\nu + 1} \right)^{1/2\nu} \tanh \left[ \frac{x_{\nu}}{\varepsilon} \left( \frac{t}{\nu + 1} \right)^{1/2\nu} \right]\!, \quad \frac{t}{\varepsilon^{\nu /(\nu + 1)} } \to +\infty. $

Numerical simulation of the stress-strain state of the dental system

We present mathematical models, computational algorithms and software, which can be used for prediction of results of prosthetic treatment. More interest issue is biomechanics of the periodontal complex because any prosthesis is accompanied by a risk of overloading the supporting elements. Such risk can be avoided by the proper load distribution and prediction of stresses that occur during the use of dentures. We developed the mathematical model of the periodontal complex and its software implementation. This model is based on linear elasticity theory and allows to calculate the stress and strain fields in periodontal ligament and jawbone. The input parameters for the developed model can be divided into two groups. The first group of parameters describes the mechanical properties of periodontal ligament, teeth and jawbone (for example, elasticity of periodontal ligament etc.). The second group characterized the geometric properties of objects: the size of the teeth, their spatial coordinates, the size of periodontal ligament etc. The mechanical properties are the same for almost all, but the input of geometrical data is complicated because of their individual characteristics. In this connection, we develop algorithms and software for processing of images obtained by computed tomography (CT) scanner and for constructing individual digital model of the tooth-periodontal ligament-jawbone system of the patient. Integration of models and algorithms described allows to carry out biomechanical analysis on three-dimensional digital model and to select prosthesis design.Comment: 19 pages, 9 figure

Joint statistics of amplitudes and phases in Wave Turbulence

Random Phase Approximation (RPA) provides a very convenient tool to study the ensembles of weakly interacting waves, commonly called Wave Turbulence. In its traditional formulation, RPA assumes that phases of interacting waves are random quantities but it usually ignores randomness of their amplitudes. Recently, RPA was generalised in a way that takes into account the amplitude randomness and it was applied to study of the higher momenta and probability densities of wave amplitudes. However, to have a meaningful description of wave turbulence the RPA properties assumed for the initial fields must be proven to survive over the nonlinear evolution time, and such a proof is the main goal of the present paper. We derive an evolution equation for the full probability density function which contains the complete information about the joint statistics of all wave amplitudes and phases. We show that, for any initial statistics of the amplitudes, the phase factors remain statistically independent uniformly distributed variables. If in addition the initial amplitudes are also independent variables (but with arbitrary distributions) they will remain independent when considered in small sets which are much less than the total number of modes. However, if the size of a set is of order of the total number of modes then the joint probability density for this set is not factorisable into the product of one-mode probabilities. In the other words, the modes in such a set are involved in a ``collective'' (correlated) motion. We also study new type of correlators describing the phase statistics.Comment: 27 pages, uses feynmf packag

Dimensional Analysis and Weak Turbulence

In the study of weakly turbulent wave systems possessing incomplete self-similarity it is possible to use dimensional arguments to derive the scaling exponents of the Kolmogorov-Zakharov spectra, provided the order of the resonant wave interactions responsible for nonlinear energy transfer is known. Furthermore one can easily derive conditions for the breakdown of the weak turbulence approximation. It is found that for incompletely self-similar systems dominated by three wave interactions, the weak turbulence approximation usually cannot break down at small scales. It follows that such systems cannot exhibit small scale intermittency. For systems dominated by four wave interactions, the incomplete self-similarity property implies that the scaling of the interaction coefficient depends only on the physical dimension of the system. These results are used to build a complete picture of the scaling properties of the surface wave problem where both gravity and surface tension play a role. We argue that, for large values of the energy flux, there should be two weakly turbulent scaling regions matched together via a region of strongly nonlinear turbulence.Comment: revtex4, 10 pages, 1 figur
