Anomalous roughness with system size dependent local roughness exponent
arXiv:cond-mat/0503689 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.71.056102
Abstract
We note that in a system far from equilibrium the interface roughening may depend on the system size which plays the role of control parameter. To detect the size effect on the interface roughness, we study the scaling properties of rough interfaces formed in paper combustion experiments. Using paper sheets of different width λL, we found that the turbulent flame fronts display anomalous multi-scaling characterized by non universal global roughness exponent αand the system size dependent spectrum of local roughness exponents,ξ_q, whereas the burning fronts possess conventional multi-affine scaling. The structure factor of turbulent flame fronts also exhibit unconventional scaling dependence on λThese results are expected to apply to a broad range of far from equilibrium systems, when the kinetic energy fluctuations exceed a certain critical value.
