Equilibrium states of Burgers and KdV equations
arXiv:2203.08626 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.105.034121
Abstract
We simulate KdV and dissipation-less Burgers equations using delta-correlated random noise as initial condition. We observe that the energy fluxes of the two equations remain zero throughout, thus indicating their equilibrium nature. We characterize the equilibrium states using Gaussian probability distribution for the real space field, and using Boltzmann distribution for the modal energy. We show that the single soliton of the KdV equation too exhibits zero energy flux, hence it is in equilibrium. We argue that the energy flux is a good measure for ascertaining whether a system is in equilibrium or not.
