Is there vortex-unbinding in one dimension system?

Hi, The vortex-unbinding Kosterlitz-Thouless physics generally applies to two-dimensional systems and occasionally three dimensional solid. I was wondered if there exits an one dimensional analogy...

1/r decay magnetic field?

Hi, According to the Biot-Savart law, the magnetic field of an infinite wire dies off proportional to 1/r, where r is the distance to the wire. Please, could anyone point me our if there exits any...

Defining the entropy of turbulence in terms of the Reynolds number?

Hi, Let us consider a large ensemble of vortices immersed in a flow domain. The Helmholtz free energy is given by F=E-Tk F=E-Tk ln N, where k is the Boltzman constant, and W is the number of the...

Exponential divergence of the correlation length in the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition?

Hi! Please, could anyone point me out an intuitive way to understand the exponential divergence of the correlation length in the KT-transition; in contrast to the usual algebraic divergence in the...

On the observation of Devil's Staircases, coexistence of chaos and quasiperiodicity, and period quadrupling in Navier-Stokes equations?

Dear All, I am working on understanding the transition from laminar to turbulent behaviour in Navier-Stokes equations by the approach of dynamical systems theory. I have derived a...

What is the difference between coherent structures and turbulent patches in transitional flow regime?

Hello all, I am studying the laminar-turbulent phase transition. It is well known that in pipe flows, turbulence first manifests itself in localized turbulent patches surrounded by laminar...
