Second law of thermodynamics for macroscopic mechanics coupled to thermodynamic degrees of freedom

Christian Maes, Hal Tasaki

Based only on classical Hamiltonian dynamics, we prove the maximum work principle in a system where macroscopic dynamical degrees of freedom are intrinsically coupled to microscopi…

A Self-Organized-Criticality model consistent with statistical properties of edge turbulence in a fusion plasma

Fabio Sattin, Marco Baiesi

The statistical properties of the intermittent signal generated by a recent model for self-organized-criticality (SOC) are examined. A successful comparison is made with previously…

H-Theorems from Autonomous Equations

W. De Roeck, C. Maes, K. Netocny

The H-theorem is an extension of the Second Law to a time-sequence of states that need not be equilibrium ones. In this paper we review and we rigorously establish the connection w…

Scaling of a collapsed polymer globule in 2D

Marco Baiesi, Enzo Orlandini, Attilio L. Stella

Extensive Monte Carlo data analysis gives clear evidence that collapsed linear polymers in two dimensions fall in the universality class of athermal, dense self-avoiding walks, as…

Enstrophy dissipation in two-dimensional turbulence

Marco Baiesi, Christian Maes

Insight into the problem of two-dimensional turbulence can be obtained by an analogy with a heat conduction network. It allows the identification of an entropy function associated…

Realistic time correlations in sandpiles

Marco Baiesi, Christian Maes

A ``sandpile'' cellular automaton achieves complex temporal correlations, like a spectrum, if the position where it is perturbed diffuses slowly rather than changing complete…
