On the statistical solution of the Riemann equation and its implications for Burgers turbulence
- Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University, New York, New York 10012 (United States)
The statistics of the multivalued solutions of the forced Riemann equation, u{sub t}+uu{sub x}=f, is considered. An exact equation for the signed probability density function of these solutions and their gradient {xi}=u{sub x} is derived, and some properties of this equation are analyzed. It is shown in particular that the tails of the signed probability density function generally decay as {vert_bar}{xi}{vert_bar}{sup {minus}3} for large {vert_bar}{xi}{vert_bar}. Further considerations give bounds on the cumulative probability density function for the velocity gradient of the solution of Burgers equation. {copyright} {ital 1999 American Institute of Physics.}
