Spontaneously stochastic solutions in one-dimensional inviscid systems

Abstract

In this paper, we study the inviscid limit of the Sabra shell model of turbulence, which is considered as a particular case of a viscous conservation law in one space dimension with a nonlocal quadratic flux function. We present a theoretical argument (with a detailed numerical confirmation) showing that a classical deterministic solution before a finite-time blowup, , must be continued as a stochastic process after the blowup, , representing a unique physically relevant description in the inviscid limit. This theory is based on the dynamical system formulation written for the logarithmic time , which features a stable traveling wave solution for the inviscid Burgers equation, but a stochastic traveling wave for the Sabra model. The latter describes a universal onset of stochasticity immediately after the blowup.
