Defect turbulence and generalized statistical mechanics

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We present experimental evidence that the motion of point defects in thermal convection patterns in an inclined fluid layer is well-described by Tsallis statistics with an entropic index qapprox1.5. The dynamical properties of the defects (anomalous diffusion, shape of velocity distributions, power law decay of correlations) are in good agreement with typical predictions of nonextensive models, over a range of driving parameters.
