Statistics of a flux in Burgers turbulence with one-sided Brownian initial data (Q5956425)

The statistics of the flux of particles on the real line \(\mathbb R\) crossing the origin is investigated. The particles are uniformly distributed at first, but with a random initial velocity which is zero on the left side, and is either a white noise or a Brownian motion on the right side. It is shown that for white noise initial velocity the total mass of particles that cross the origin is a time-inhomogeneous Markov step process, while for Brownian initial velocities, it is a time-inhomogeneous Markov process that increases only by jumps. Moreover, the formulae of transition probabilities are given.
